In contrast to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who apparently tried to steal a real human’s likeness for AI, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says he doesn’t like anthropomorphizing AI. The OpenAI partner doesn’t even think we should call it “artificial intelligence” at all. He suggests “different intelligence” but we don’t think that’s going to make it past the marketing department.
Tesla has received permission from the Arizona Department of Transportation to operate an autonomous ride-hailing service with a safety monitor in the state. On its last earnings call, Tesla said it planned to expand its robotaxi service to 8-10 markets by the end of this year.
Currently Tesla operates the service autonomously in Austin with a safety monitor in the passenger’s seat, and in the Bay Area with a driver using supervised full-self driving tech. Google’sWaymo operates a fully autonomous ride-hailing service in both those markets.

Meta’s AI video feed, Vibes, which launched in late September as part of the Meta AI app, has 2 million daily active users, Business Insiders reports, citing internal data. That’s more than OpenAI’s Sora, which launched around the same time but only recently — and perhaps temporarily — became available to the public without an invite. It had about 673,000 daily active users in November, according to Similarweb.
Still, for Meta, 2 million isn’t much for a product that’s integrated with Facebook and Instagram. Threads, another app Meta users are pushed to from its larger properties, for example, recently surpassed 150 million daily active users. In its last earnings report, Meta said it had 3.5 billion daily users across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp.
