🤖 Meta Builds AI Version of Mark Zuckerberg to Interact with Staff

The project has become one of the company's priorities, and Zuckerberg himself is personally involved in training his photorealistic digital copy.

The avatar is being trained on the founder's mannerisms, tone, and public statements, as well as his more recent thinking on company strategy, so that employees might feel more connected to the founder through interactions with it.

💼 At the same time, the company is also building a "CEO agent" that will help Zuckerberg run the corporation.

💡 According to sources, Mark Zuckerberg is deeply involved in Meta's AI projects and personally spends 5-10 hours a week coding and taking part in technical reviews.

🌒 10-Year-Old Girl Asks NASA To Restore Pluto's Planetary Status

A 10-year-old student named Kaela has asked NASA to restore Pluto's status as a planet.

She provided three arguments:

1⃣ Pluto is part of our solar system and used to be a planet.

2⃣ It is a dwarf planet and deserves to be considered an actual planet.
3⃣ It might make a lot of people happy.

Kaela acknowledges that this decision might be outside of NASA's jurisdiction, but asks for their help if possible.

The agency's head, Jared Isaacman, replied to her personally.

"Kaela, We are looking into this", he wrote on X.

Do you think Pluto needs planetary status?

❤️ - Yes, please!
🔥 - No, eight planets are enough

Scientists Document First Chimpanzee "Civil War"

Scientists have documented the first clear case of a chimpanzee "civil war" in Uganda, where the massive Ngogo community permanently fractured into two rival factions following a leadership change.

Over years of observation, researchers recorded persistent, lethal violence that suggests internal social tensions rather than external political or religious factors can drive collective aggression.

As lead author Aaron Sandel concludes, "This study encourages a reevaluation of current models of human collective violence."

Meta Rolls Out New Muse Spark AI Model

Meta has started rolling out a new AI model, Spark, from the Muse family within their AI assistant, alongside a fresh design.

There are currently no official details or benchmarks available. It also remains unclear whether Muse Spark is the highly anticipated "Avocado" model from Zuckerberg's superintelligence team.

Whether Meta can redeem itself after the failure of Llama 4 will become clear very soon.

😨📱 Meta secretly reading WhatsApp messages: lawsuit says

A California class action (Shirazi, et al. v. Meta Platforms Inc., et al.) accuses Meta and Accenture of intercepting, reading, storing, and sharing private WhatsApp messages, contradicting claims of full end-to-end encryption via the Signal Protocol.

Whistleblowers allege Meta employees and hundreds of Accenture contractors have broad access to supposedly encrypted content. Flagged messages (fraud, policy breaches, criminal cases) reportedly trigger internal reviews of full chat histories via a hidden backdoor.

This isn't new:
▪️ In 2018, Mark Zuckerberg told US lawmakers Meta doesn't see WhatsApp content, though he later acknowledged access via legal requests or device-level methods.
▪️ In 2021, a privacy policy update caused global backlash, driving millions to Signal and Telegram.
▪️ Meta faces criticism for sharing user metadata with governments through legal channels.

⚛️ CERN Discovers New Proton-Like Particle

The LHCb experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has discovered a new particle made of two charm quarks and one down quark. Its structure is similar to that of the familiar proton, but two light up quarks are replaced by two much heavier charm quarks—making the new particle about four times heavier.

LHCb Spokesperson Vincenzo Vagnoni said:
"The result will help theorists test models of quantum chromodynamics, the theory of the strong force that binds quarks into not only conventional baryons and mesons but also more exotic hadrons such as tetraquarks and pentaquarks,"

☀️ Rising Heat Could Cause Up To 700,000 Extra Deaths A Year By 2050

A study in The Lancet Global Health finds that higher temperatures may push more people into inactivity, increasing health risks.

Each extra month above 27.8°C is linked to a 1.4 percentage-point rise in inactivity worldwide (1.85 pp in lower-income countries).

By 2050, this could lead to 470,000–700,000 extra deaths annually and $2.4–3.68 billion in lost productivity.

By 2060, There Will Be Twice As Many Androids In The World As Cars

According to Bank of America, around 62% of humanoid robots (2 billion units) will "live" in people's homes.

Even though the technology has barely made its way into real workplaces or households yet, analysts see the mass adoption of humanoid robots as inevitable. The reason: an unavoidable labor shortage.

That said, analysts aren't at all convinced that even 20 years from now, androids will be able to match human capabilities. But nobody needs perfect robots, just ones that cost less than human workers and won't quit over low pay.

Meta is Killing End-to-End Encryption For Instagram DMs on May 8, 2026

Meta is ending support for end-to-end encrypted chats on Instagram starting May 8, 2026. This optional privacy feature ( introduced years ago but never widely used) let you send DMs and make calls where only you and the recipient could read or hear the content. No one else, including Meta/Instagram, could access it.

What this means for regular users❔
After May 8, your new Instagram DMs won't have this strong protection anymore. Meta's servers can now see and potentially scan message content (for ads, moderation, or legal requests), just like regular texts on most apps. Past encrypted chats stay unreadable by Meta, but save important ones soon via the prompts you'll see. Or Switch to WhatsApp for full E2EE if needed!

Musk Announces "Macrohard," a Joint Tesla-xAI AI Agent

Elon Musk announced on March 11 that Tesla and xAI have formally joined forces on an AI project called "Macrohard" or "Digital Optimus," a system designed to control computers and perform office tasks in real time autonomously.

The announcement, made via a post on X, marks the first concrete product to emerge from Tesla's controversial $2 billion investment in xAI and arrives just days after reports that the Macrohard project had stalled inside xAI due to leadership departures and internal turmoil.

⚠️ Major iPhone Security Threat

Google uncovered Coruna, a powerful iOS exploit kit with 23 exploits across five chains targeting iPhones on iOS 13.0–17.2.1.

Imagine visiting a shady website on your iPhone, without clicking anything extra, hidden code could secretly take over your device, steal passwords, crypto wallets, or spy on you.

That's what Google's researchers just uncovered in a tool called Coruna (also known as CryptoWaters).

This powerful hacking kit uses 23 different exploits (software bugs) in five complete attack chains to break into iPhones running older iOS versions (13.0 to 17.2.1, from 2019–2023). It first checks your phone model and iOS version, then picks the perfect exploit to run sneaky code in Safari (the browser), bypass protections, and install malware, all in seconds, invisibly.

Luckily, it doesn't work on the latest iOS versions. Apple has patched these bugs long ago.

❗️Update your iPhone immediately if you're on iOS 17.2.1 or older!

Maybe people don't actually want to book trips or buy things inside chatbots

OpenAI has stepped back from the idea of building travel bookings and shopping directly into ChatGPT. Instead, users will be redirected to third-party services and partner mini-apps.

Analysts think OpenAI doesn't want the headache: payments, real-time price tracking, cancellations, refunds, and customer complaints.

At scale, that's a lot of moving parts. And the commission margins on travel bookings are not significant enough.

South Korea Warns Iran War Could Disrupt Global Chip Supply

South Korea's semiconductor industry is sounding the alarm over possible disruptions to key chip manufacturing materials as the U. S.-Israel conflict with Iran enters its sixth day.

Ruling party lawmaker Kim Young-bae, speaking after meetings with Samsung Electronics executives and trade groups, said officials warned that "semiconductor production could be disrupted if some of these key materials cannot be sourced from the Middle East."

South Korea produces around two-thirds of the world's memory chips, and the ongoing conflict risks pushing up energy costs and material prices across the industry.

Game of Thrones Movie in Development

Warner Bros. is preparing a "Game of Thrones" movie with "House of Cards" showrunner and "Andor" writer Beau Willimon writing the screenplay.

The story could revolve around Aegon I, the legendary Targaryen king who spawned a dynasty.

Of course, whether the "Game of Thrones" movie sees the light of day depends on many factors. Not everything "Thrones" that enters development gets greenlit. HBO developed several spinoffs with Martin before deciding to make "House of the Dragon" and eventually "Knight of the Seven Kingdoms."

Anthropic Refused to Give the Military Unlimited Access to Their AI

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei expressed concern that the government could use AI for "mass surveillance" and "fully autonomous weapons," and said such demands are impossible. According to him, today's systems are not ready for that.

As a result, Donald Trump ordered all federal agencies to stop using Anthropic AI. The company was labeled a "supply chain risk," which automatically bans any other Pentagon contractors from using Anthropic products in their work.

OpenAI took Anthropic's place. Even though OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says the deal keeps the ban on surveillance and autonomous weapons, there is a big difference. OpenAI agreed to use AI "for all lawful purposes," and any disagreements will be settled under "specific legal and political rules." Anthropic's position meant the company itself would decide how to understand the limits.
