    Meta removes language that raised scraping and AI training concerns

    Meta removed wording in its commercial terms that allowed content from business-account websites to be used to develop, improve and train its products. Legal experts had previously said the clause could authorize Meta to scrape any publisher's website with a business account to train AI models. Meta responded that the consolidated scraping clause applies only to ads and commercial products, and that its use of web crawlers has not changed.

    Meta removes language that may have allowed it to scrape news sites

    Meta updated its commercial terms, removing wording interpreted as allowing scraping of content including news sites for AI training, which Cornell digital and information law professor James Grimmelmann and others said could override robots.txt blocking directives. Meta spokesperson Daniel Roberts responded that the scraping clause applies only to ads and commercial products, the company's use of web crawlers has not changed, and content owners can still express preferences via robots.txt.

    Websites are closing their doors to AI agents

    More and more websites are blocking AI agents: Yelp opens up only to agents with paid data licensing, Delta stops them from booking flights on its behalf, JPMorgan Chase and Charles Schwab block account access for security reasons, and sites like Cars.com and Amtrak are no longer available to them.

    Meta and Apple team up to make Muse AI models run better on Macs

    Meta released Muse Spark Open, an open-weights model it calls the strongest American open-weights model yet, with 816B total parameters, natively multimodal, excelling at long-horizon tasks, complex software engineering and multi-step reasoning. Meta partnered with Apple to optimize the model, which can run on desktop via the latest MLX framework on two Apple M5 Ultra Mac Studios; Apple also published a technical article on MLX, and executives from both companies exchanged public pleasantries on X.

    The AI race is back on

    Last week Anthropic and OpenAI appeared to have taken a decisive lead in the AI race with increasingly powerful models, Google was seen as far behind, and Meta, despite spending billions, had failed to become a serious contender. The article argues that this picture is now breaking down and the AI race is back to being tightly contested.

    Anthropic’s self-replicating AI warning is alarming deja vu

    Anthropic published a blog post warning that small AI models could gain the ability to self-replicate across devices within months. Researchers split a 26-billion-parameter Google Gemma 4 across 15 Android TV boxes and tested an AI worm spreading Meta's Llama 3.1-8B in a simulated Android network, where only Z.ai's GLM-5.2 successfully spread across the entire network.

    I don’t miss the camera on the Ray-Ban Meta Audio glasses

    The Verge reviewed the $349 camera-free Ray-Ban Meta Audio smart glasses, arguing that dropping the camera makes them more comfortable to wear in public and that they look like ordinary glasses. They currently run the weaker Muse Spark model, which handles short tasks like schedule lookups, reminders, and walking navigation, but complex requests often fail, and Meta's Muse AI won't arrive until later this year. They are essentially good open-ear headphones in glasses form, but the AI experience isn't yet worth the price.

    Facebook will let you customize your feed algorithm using AI

    Facebook launched the AI feature Your Algorithm, letting users manage Reels and other feed topics by tapping interested or not interested, or describing preferences in natural language, with Meta saying recommendations update in real time within the same session. The feature arrived on Instagram earlier this year, Meta has also launched a similar Dear Algo on Threads, and it says it is using LLMs more in its ranking systems.

    It’s ‘incomprehensible’ that Instagram allowed an AI image of Mia Goth to spread, say her reps

    Mia Goth's representatives told The Verge that the verified fan account miagoth_ spread AI-generated fake images of her wearing a printed T-shirt, which were widely reported as real. The account has over a million followers and removal requests went unheeded. Meta's rules do not require static AI images to be labeled, and by Tuesday morning the account appeared to have been emptied.

    AI glasses face their first major government crackdown

    Australia is considering banning smart glasses in certain public places, and courts in several countries have issued bans; Norway's government calls a ban a high priority, with a draft bill to be submitted to parliament soon, though it is not seeking a blanket ban. Norway's Micaelsen said people should not have to worry about hidden recording, photos and filming in settings unaccustomed to surveillance.
