OpenAI is building its own X-like social media network, according to a new report from The Verge. The project is still in the early stages, but there’s an internal prototype focused on ChatGPT’s image generation that contains a social feed. The report states that it’s unknown if OpenAI plans to launch the social network as a standalone app or if it plans to integrate it within the ChatGPT app. With this new social network, OpenAI would be taking on Elon Musk’s X and Meta’s social platforms, Facebook and Instagram.

Meta has long described its products as enabling people “to connect and share with friends and family.” It’s one of the few things about the ever-evolving social networking giant that has remained unchanged over the years. Now, Mark Zuckerberg is trying to walk that all back. During his testimony Monday in a high stakes antitrust case brought by the Federal Trade Commission, Zuckerberg argued that the Facebook friend, once the currency of the company’s global user base, is no longer Meta’s bread and butter. Instead, according to Politico, he said...

Fake weight loss injections with dirty needles being sent to NI Illegal "weight loss injections" with dirty needles are being sold over social media and sent to people in Northern Ireland, a BBC investigation has found. BBC News NI made test purchases of syringes which claimed to contain semaglutide, a prescription-only drug, via Facebook from sellers based in Great Britain. When tested, the liquid was not semaglutide but did contain carnitine – a supplement that can be bought on the high street. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said...

Artificial intelligence-generated action figures permeated social media feeds last week as people fed images of themselves to ChatGPT and asked it to package them into a miniature toy. The resulting image, dubbed a “starter pack” for a specific person, displays a packaged doll that takes on the appearance of the subject, complete with personalized mini accessories — such as an iced coffee, a laptop, perhaps a camera or a pair of running shoes — and labeled with the subject’s name and job title. The action figure starter pack trend is...

A trial in the landmark antitrust case against social media giant Meta kicks off in Washington on Monday. The US competition and consumer watchdog alleges that Meta, which already owned Facebook, bought Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014 to eliminate competition, effectively giving itself a monopoly. The FTC reviewed and approved those acquisitions but committed to monitor the outcomes. If the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) wins the case it could force Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to sell off both Instagram and WhatsApp. Meta previously said it was sure it...

There are so many Social Security-bashing screeds floating around on the internet that I could spend every one of my weekly columns just trying to set the record straight. These things usually get passed around from one gullible and naive nitwit to the next. Today I’m addressing one that has been polluting the online world for almost a quarter-century now. I wrote my first column about it in 1997, and it’s still around spreading falsehoods. The only difference is the latest version that many readers have been asking me about...

Facebook owner Meta fired a terrified marketing boss after he complained about the company for re-hiring his deranged stalker, according to a lawsuit. James Napoli said Meta didn’t take his numerous complaints seriously — even though the stalker showed up at his home, called his relatives and sent him hundreds of disturbing messages — because he is gay. “The case of James Napoli illustrates that Meta is either incompetent or deliberately indifferent when it comes to protecting its employees from harassers and stalkers,” he said in the Manhattan Federal Court...
