Meta-formerly-Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has a genius new plot to add some interest to Meta-owned products: just jam in some generative AI, absolutely everywhere.

Axios reports that in an all-hands meeting on Thursday, Zuckerberg unveiled a barrage of generative AI tools and integrations, which are to be baked into both Meta’s internal and consumer-facing products, Facebook and Instagram included.

“In the last year, we’ve seen some really incredible breakthroughs — qualitative breakthroughs — on generative AI,” Zuckerberg told Axios in a statement, “and that gives us the opportunity to now go take that technology, push it forward, and build it into every single one of our products.”

He hasn’t even made it to Mars yet, and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s wandering eye is already on a new planet — this one completely outside our star system.

Over the weekend, Musk seemed to ideate on the prospect of visiting the relatively nearby Promixa Centauri B, an exoplanet that sits a little over four light-years away in Alpha Centauri, the star system that James Cameron’s “Avatar” franchise is based on. First discovered back in 2016, Proxima B is believed to be particularly viable as a potentially life-supporting world, and it looks like Musk is paying attention.

“Practically next door,” the Twitter owner tweeted on Sunday, in response to a tweet featuring a Space Academy blog post about the tantalizing planet.

Engineers at MIT say they have developed a new motor that could be used to electrify large aircraft, significantly reducing their carbon footprint with the help of innovative new electric propulsion technology.

The 1-megawatt motor has already undergone design and testing of its primary components, which the MIT team says helps demonstrate that its power generation is comparable to current small aircraft engines.

Every year, pollution from carbon dioxide in excess of 850 million tons is produced by the aviation industry. If left unmitigated, those levels could increase by as much as three times by mid-century, concerns that have prompted caps on the carbon dioxide emissions of international flights that have been instituted in recent years.
