Here's my exchange with Amazon executive Viraj Chatterjee regarding the frequency at which Amazon's smart glasses will capture images while a driver is on foot.

213

When not in privacy mode the glasses capture an image at a resolution “equivalent or lower” than the picture you get to prove delivery. Amazon’s executive in charge of the roll out would not say how often a picture is captured. From my @opinion.bloomberg.com column:

Altman ends his DevDay keynote with an attempt at recasting how we talk about AI:

And to get these you'll need to be on a plan starting at $100 per month.

I know this is a developers conference, but this branding is surely meant to attract regular people. Yet, as ever, OpenAI seems to assume everyone is building a tech start-up. Look at these use cases.

OpenAI announces "Dots" .. it's answer to Meta's Muse (and Grok Bots). As could be expected -- they've gone the cuddly and customizable route

Free idea for Meta: Upsell Muse users to better models by calling it simply the "Thinking Cap". Have the avatar put it on when dealing with harder tasks. (A marketing consultancy would charge you thousands of dollars for an idea like that)

Spotted a malfunctioning propaganda bot in TikTok comments (the video was about Mamdani)

Amazon blocking Meta's Muse has kickstarted the next platform war. My column for @opinion.bloomberg.com today on what happens if AI agents can't play nice. (Spoiler: consumers lose and the business model takes a bath.)

Would love to see this across England one Saturday — a match where the oldest fans of the team are the player “mascots”. This clip is great.

Is this Instinct’s way of saying it suffered downtime?

Sorry, OpenAI does not have "officials." They're not running the government. It's a company. It has executives. This "official" seems very likely to me to be global affairs boss Chris Lehane and he should get on the record. (And @wired.com should have forced him to here, in my view.)

These “candlelight” shows look truly awful. Another promo is meant to look like Thriller but the guy’s just wearing a leather jacket he picked off the discount rack at Men’s Wearhouse

Don’t remember these moves 🥴

wild that an expired gift link does this rather than just taking you to the paywalled piece (even more so since I'm a subscriber anyway!)

One very useful Meta AI application -- using it to run automated sweeps of Facebook Marketplace, and suggest negotiation tactics -- is hindered by the fact tthat Meta is rate-limiting its own bot. (To be clear, Meta suggests this as a use case!)

The promo shots are making a point of not hiding the fact you can see the camera through the screen. Must be pretty prominent.

Fascinating chart on AAPL stock moves on the day a new iPhone is announced. How might the folding phone fare today? All about the price...

First line of the piece says that. The rarity -- according to the city's own numbers -- is Gen Z renters managing to bag one.

Finally our own version of this

Dave Lee @davelee.me · 27/08/2026

Meta is saying it will use signals (as it does already) but has repeatedly called for Apple and Google to help them out with this. Seems entirely reasonable to me.

A building that looks like this. I'd always assumed the IA's logo was inspired by it. Turns out the logo came first, the building ownership was just a very happy sequence of events.
