'Melted down': Meta's AI glasses demo fails live on stage

Trump's expected shakeup of the tech job market  

Bloomberg is reporting that President Trump is looking to slap a $100,000 fee on the visa popular with tech firms to access top international talent. The White House claims the visa is being used to undercut American workers and give too many high paying jobs to people from overseas.  

There are 85,000 of these visas available each year and many end up going to the top tech companies, but there is abuse of the system by outsourcing and staffing companies flooding the lottery with duplicate candidates.  

 

Jack Tame's desire for one Apple operating system to rule them all is a step closer  

Having used the latest OS 26 across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, it's clear Apple is converging the design patterns. It feels like we're now just one step away from having a single OS across all devices. On iPad, the multi-tasking is much, much more MacBook like.  

 

Meta had an absolute demo fail live on stage while showing off their AI glasses  

They were trying to show how their AI agent could help you while cooking —it could see the ingredients and help you step by step— but it didn't go to plan. It kept responding with things it wasn't being asked for and the poor 'content creator' paid to do the demo got flustered and blamed the WiFi.  

It wasn't the WiFi, but reason was kind of amusing – when the demo asked "Live AI" to do a thing, every device in the room heard it and all tried to respond at the same time. And worse, because they were all connected to the same internet, all their requests went to the same special demo server only expecting to deal with ONE device. Face palm.
