Multi is an advanced screensharing and collaboration tool made specifically for software engineering teams in mind, allowing for features such as shared cursors and simultaneous screensharing with up to 10 people.
Meta came up with its “Made with AI” labeling system for its platforms like Instagram, Facebook and Threads, in order to help users distinguish what's what. And while this can be a great feature, it looks like, despite Meta's good intentions, the feature isn't always accurately labeling images on its platforms.

This has screwed over Elon's side hustle xAI, right after raising $6 billion in equity.
The AI or real quiz: Euro 2024 edition
See if you can spot what's artificial intelligence and what's real.
AI is everywhere. Is it all it's cracked up to be or is it one big scam? Well, as it is for most things, the truth is somewhere in the middle.
despite some of AI's useful contributions, the hype has also impacted the tech industry negatively.
The world of robotics is advancing pretty quickly. There’s been a flurry of robotics companies popping up from nowhere with impressive offerings. But what are the best robots around today? And why is this happening all of a sudden?
