Citing Meta lawsuit, Khan says more aggressive FTC will not turn ‘blind eye’ to big tech data abuses
After accusations of selling ‘perv glasses,’ Meta prepares to sell a pair without a camera
Meta is preparing camera-less Luna smart glasses with microphones and an AI button to access its chatbot and Muse agent, per reports.
The Information reports Meta is developing Luna, a camera-free smart glasses model with six built-in microphones and a side button that activates Meta's AI chatbot and its Muse consumer agent, possibly unveiled at next week's Meta Connect event. The move follows consumer backlash over camera-equipped glasses that critics called 'perv glasses.' Meta's Reality Labs continues to post large losses despite the smart glasses line's relative market success.
Meta now lets AI agents handle the boring parts of WhatsApp Business setup
Meta launched a WhatsApp Business Tools MCP server that lets AI agents like Claude or Cursor set up and manage WhatsApp Business messaging accounts.
Meta announced a WhatsApp Business Tools MCP server, a Model Context Protocol server that connects AI coding agents such as Claude, Cursor, Codex, or ChatGPT directly to the WhatsApp Business Platform. The agents can handle account creation, phone number verification, Cloud API registration, Terms of Service checks, messaging template creation/editing, and webhook testing. Meta's companion Social Technologies MCP can also discover API endpoints, search documentation, and troubleshoot errors. The launch extends Meta's existing MCP servers for ad management and app configuration monitoring.
Safe Meta-Reinforcement Learning via Information Space Reachability
Safe meta-RL framework reasons about safety in information space, learning a safety value function used for safety filtering and constrained policy optimization.
The paper proposes safe meta-RL that reasons about safety in information space, capturing both physical state and the agent's belief over the underlying task. A safety value function measures the probability of avoiding unsafe regions indefinitely and satisfies a self-consistency condition and Bellman equation, making it learnable via meta-RL. The resulting algorithm uses the learned function for safety filtering and constrained policy optimization, with effectiveness demonstrated on meta-RL benchmarks.
Meta adds three new features to keep WhatsApp accounts secure
Meta strengthens WhatsApp account security with alphanumeric two-step verification passwords, unknown-caller context on Android, and multiple passkeys per account.
Meta upgraded WhatsApp's two-step verification from a six-digit PIN to a longer alphanumeric password that can include special characters. On Android, calls from unsaved numbers now show context such as whether the number is registered in another country or shares groups with the recipient, countering scam urgency. More than one billion users have set up passkeys, and users can now register multiple passkeys on one account across mixed platforms.
