Things You Should Know 👀

Alright, alright. Maybe Facebook & Snapchat were on to something…Apple is heavily rumoured to be launching AR glasses. A pretty solid strategy, make the world awful enough for people desperate to escape it!

Alongside their rumoured Apple Car, these glasses look to be a reasonable next step for the tech giant. Even more, apps to add a 30% tax too! See the world in AR, only for $29.99 a month and $70 device fee

“Now that the yoga-loving part-time CEO is out, let’s make things happen at Twitter.” His chair is still warm, but the new CEO is already putting new policies into action with unwarranted images removed.

If you take a photo without someones permission and upload it, Twitter’s moderation will remove this as a violation of policy. This is promising, let’s hope verification is next to remove the trolls.

Cool Stuff😎

FORGET ABOUT THE METAVERSE. Let’s talk about the Metavearth?? Eh? This needs work. In essence, it’s reimagining the world via AR rather than VR - and boy is Snap leading the way.

What we’ve learned📚

In the last two years, we’ve seen GPT2 become a common tool. With AI utilized to help you write your emails, do the mundane tasks quickly and create beautiful images. Scary or exciting?
