Hello, Tuesday! Let's make progress today!
Geek Gossip
#InterviewHypeFail - A LinkedIn influencer tried to peddle extreme forms of interviews ongoing at Google for non developer positions, but got quickly shut down when the Director Of PM @ Google showed up in the comments and refuted all their points!
#AppleSmartGlasses - Apple is testing four designs for its smart glasses. The company could launch with some or all of them in 2027. The glasses won’t have any displays, but will allow users to take photos and videos, answer phone calls, play music, and interact with Siri.
#Microsoft - Microsoft reportedly wanted to cut back on Copilot usage in all their apps. But turns out they just renamed it. Instead of removing it altogether, as was the demand of its users, it has instead renamed the feature (AI powered assistance).
#Meta - CEO of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, will soon have an AI clone of themselves. Zuckerberg's character will be trained on images of the chief executive as well as his voice. If the experiment is a success, influencers and creators might one day be able to do the same.
