Look, we live in a dystopian future where people are pouring their hearts out to ChatGPT, falling in love with AI companions, and even grappling with “AI partner cheating” fiascos. Meta, one of the world’s biggest AI labs, is now pushing a chatbot that aims to help humans find love among their own species. Phew!
Facebook Dating, a corner of the vast social media universe that aims to help users find dates, is getting a new AI assistant. Instead of swiping through dozens of profiles, you can simply tell the AI assistant about your preferences, and it will narrow down such profiles for you.
For example, you can ask it to “find me someone who is in New York City and works in marketing,” and the AI assistant will pull up matching profiles for you. Think of it as AI prompting for tailored matches.
“It can help you find better matches based on your interests and preferences, giving you refined search and custom match recommendations,” says Meta.
The new Dating Assistant will be available in the Matches tab, and will be accessible to users in the US and Canada. In addition to an AI assistant, Facebook Dating is also getting a new feature called Meet Cute.
Meta says the new tool “takes the indecision out of online dating by automatically matching you with a surprise match based on our personalized matching algorithm.”
The idea is to help users find someone beyond their typical partner preferences. On a side note, the company recently announced that its Meta AI chatbot will stop talking to teens about sensitive topics like suicide. And it seems regulations for AI assistants are also on the horizon.
As artificial intelligence creeps into everything from our phones to our smart speakers, it’s becoming harder to see where the tech ends and our decisions begin. And according to a new study from researchers at the University of Queensland and UNSW, that’s exactly the problem. They warn that the “AI-ification” of daily life is quietly driving up global emissions – not just by burning electricity, but by training us to buy more stuff.
What Happened – and the Hidden Environmental Impact of AI-Driven Consumption
Intel’s next-gen integrated graphics, the Arc B370, just popped up in a new benchmark leak – and frankly, the numbers are shocking for a chip that lives directly on the CPU. Spotted inside an engineering sample of the Core Ultra 5 338H (part of the upcoming Panther Lake family), the chip was tested on FurMark’s 1440p OpenGL workload, hitting a score of 2,383 points.
To put that in perspective, this integrated chip is 33% faster than Intel’s actual desktop graphics card, the Arc A380, and 70% faster than the current Lunar Lake chips. Even more impressive? It did this while sipping just 36W of power, running at a cool 2.3 GHz.
American Airlines might be swapping its Wi-Fi provider for something a little more galactic. The airline has confirmed it’s been talking to Amazon Leo (formerly Project Kuiper) about powering its in-flight internet. This could be a massive win for Jeff Bezos’ satellite venture, putting it head-to-head with Elon Musk’s Starlink in a battle for dominance at 38,000 feet.
