Mark Zuckerberg is excited to add more AI content to all your social feeds
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is getting ready to dump even more AI-generated posts into your social feeds. During an earnings call on Wednesday, Zuckerberg said the company will “add yet another huge corpus of content” to its recommendations system as AI “makes it easier to create and remix” work that gets shared online. “Social media has gone through two eras so far,” Zuckerberg said. “First was when all content was from friends, family, and accounts that you followed directly. The second was when we added all of the Creator content.” Though Zuckerberg stops short of calling AI the third era of social media, it’s clear that the technology will be heavily involved in what comes next. Zuckerberg said that recommendation systems that “deeply understand” AI-generated posts and “show you the right content” will become “increasingly valuable.” The company has already begun embedding AI tools across its apps and is now experimenting with dedicated AI social apps, too. Meta CFO Susan Li said people generated over 20 billion images within the company’s new Vibes app, which serves up a feed of AI-generated videos, similar to OpenAI’s Sora. “I think that Vibes is an example of a new content type enabled by AI, and I think that there are more opportunities to build many more novel types of content ahead,” Zuckerberg added. Meta reported revenue of $51.24 billion this quarter, up 26 percent year over year, but took a one-time $15.93 billion tax charge associated with President Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill.

Google Fi will start using AI to make calls sound better
Google just announced several updates for its digital telecom provider, Google Fi. It's introducing AI-enhanced audio for better sound quality during calls. The company says this will ensure "optimized audio quality for every call, so you can confidently take calls from a windy park or busy cafe." This feature rolls out sometime in November. Google Fi is getting HD/HD+ calling, which should also improve the overall audio quality. The service will soon automatically connect to Wi-Fi when available, with the company touting "seamless, secure switching." As for security, each call and text goes through a VPN. There's no extra cost for this service and it doesn't count against the pre-existing data allocation. The platform will also soon let users make calls and send texts from any web browser. This is coming in December and will feature a new interface with full RCS support, allowing folks to add hi-res photos and videos to message threads. Finally, Google is integrating Gemini into the platform to create an AI-powered billing summary. The company says this offers "simple, easy explanations of all your billing statements." The feature has been in a beta for a while and Google says users have given it "high positive sentiment." These tools are accompanied by a limited-time promo for new subscribers, amounting to 50 percent off for 15 months when bringing in a phone. The discount is only available for the Unlimited Premium and Unlimited Standard plans.

Facebook's latest AI feature can scan your phone's camera roll
A Facebook feature that scans your phone's photo library to make AI collages and edits is now available in North America. Meta tested it earlier this year. It's an opt-in feature, but the company may train its models on your media if you use its AI editing or share the results. From a user experience perspective, the idea is to help you find "hidden gems" in your library and turn them into something shareable. After scanning your photo library (with your permission), it will cough up suggestions. For example, it might recommend a collage based on a vacation, a recap of a graduation party or simply spruce up some photos with AI. For better or worse, it's another step in the direction of automating creativity and skill. Zooming out to Meta's business motives, it's easy to imagine this is a move for more AI training data. The company says it won't train its AI on your camera roll "unless you choose to edit this media with our AI tools, or share." If you find it useful enough to use, your media may help train Meta's AI models. The company says the feature's suggestions are private to you until you choose to share them. Its permissions state, "To create ideas for you, we'll select media from your camera roll and upload it to our cloud on an ongoing basis, based on info like time, location or themes." However, Meta says your media won't be used for ad targeting. Fortunately, it's opt-in, so you can safely ignore this altogether without privacy worries. If you grant it permission, you'll see its suggestions (visible only to you) in Stories and Feed. And should you activate it but change your mind later, you can turn it back off through Facebook's camera roll settings. The feature is available now in the US and Canada. Meta says it will soon begin testing it in other countries.

Opera’s Neon shows just how confusing AI browsers still are
The trick to understanding Opera's Neon browser is recognizing that it's not just a browser with an AI bot added to it, but a browser with three AI bots all living side by side. This is both a strength and a weakness, because while you don't have to leave to do all the AI things you want, knowing where to go for which AI tasks can be really confusing. Opera began taking people off the waitlist for its AI browser, Neon, last month. It's entering an increasingly crowded market of AI-powered browsers including Google's Gemini-infused Chrome, Perplexity's Comet, and The Browser Company's Dia. Unlike many of these competitors, Opera is charging … Read the full story at The Verge.

Amazon has the Nintendo Switch 2 available for purchase, no invite required
While it was difficult to get your hands on a Nintendo Switch 2 back in June when it first became available, that's no longer the case. It just got even easier now that Amazon has the console listed for sale, with no invitation required. The handhelds have been selling at a blistering pace, with just under 6 million units sold in the first four weeks. Online inventories in those initial weeks sold out in a flash, and sparse restocks were gone just as quickly. Amazon was left out of the initial pre-order process and didn't list the console at all until over a month after its release. This conspicuous absence may have been due to Nintendo's frustration with third-party sellers undercutting the company's own pricing for games on the site. We really loved the Nintendo Switch 2 in our hands-on review, and thought it was a great follow-up to the 2017 console that launched a handheld renaissance. We gave the Switch 2 a score of 93 out of 100, and were particularly impressed with its larger 7-9-inch LCD screen, the magnetic Joy-Cons, better base storage and, of course, significantly improved performance over the original. The pricing is a bit steep, the battery life could be better and the dock could more USB-C ports, but aside from those details the Switch 2 is almost perfect. If you've been waiting to pick up a Nintendo Switch 2 without having to go on a scavenger hunt, then the Amazon listing should be a welcome option. The months since release have also seen a great selection of Switch 2 ports and exclusive games hit the market. Amazon's listing offers the standalone console for $449 or the Mario Kart World bundle for $499. Sales are limited to one unit per customer. Follow @EngadgetDeals on X for the latest tech deals and buying advice.

OpenAI gets caught vibe graphing
Something’s off with that chart on the left. During its big GPT-5 livestream on Thursday, OpenAI showed off a few charts that made the model seem quite impressive — but if you look closely, some graphs were a little bit off. In one, ironically showing how well GPT-5 does in “deception evals across models,” the scale is all over the place. For “coding deception,” for example, the chart shown onstage says GPT-5 with thinking apparently gets a 50.0 percent deception rate, but that’s compared to OpenAI’s smaller 47.4 percent o3 score which somehow has a larger bar. OpenAI appears to have accurate numbers for this chart in its GPT-5 blog post, however, where GPT-5’s deception rate is labeled as 16.5 percent. who's making these graphs pic.twitter.com/Zt6yhZuUoo — Shrey Kothari (@shreyk0) August 7, 2025 With this chart, OpenAI showed onstage that one of GPT-5’s scores is lower than o3’s but is shown with a bigger bar. In this same chart, o3 and GPT-4o’s scores are different but shown with equally-sized bars. It was bad enough that CEO Sam Altman commented on it, calling it a “mega chart screwup,” though he noted that a correct version is in OpenAI’s blog post. An OpenAI marketing staffer also apologized, saying, “We fixed the chart in the blog guys, apologies for the unintentional chart crime.” this screenshot from GPT-5 livestream has to be among the worst chart crimes of the century pic.twitter.com/HXsK2CWCon — Ege Erdil (@EgeErdil2) August 7, 2025 OpenAI didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. And while it’s unclear if OpenAI used GPT-5 to actually make the charts, it’s still not a great look for the company on its big launch day — especially when it is touting the “significant advances in reducing hallucinations” with its new model.
