he Meta CEO kicked off Meta Connect 2025 confirming the rumors with the reveal of Meta's first pair of AR glasses with a built-in screen. They'll cost $800 and will come to a limited number of brick-and-mortar stores in the US beginning September 30. Those retailers include Best Buy, LensCrafters, Ray-Ban and Verizon, and availability will expand to Canada, France, Italy and the UK early next year. Also, Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Melanie Stansbury are leading a group of congressional Democrats investigating White House Special Advisor David Sacks for possibly serving in his position for longer than he's allowed. Sacks, a former PayPal executive and venture capitalist at Craft Ventures, was originally picked by President Donald Trump to be the "White House A.I. & Crypto Czar." And Google's Discover content feed is getting some new features. It'll soon include more than just articles from throughout the web. The company says the platform will be incorporating stuff like social media posts from platforms like Instagram and X along with YouTube Shorts.

Tesla is being investigated over its electronic door handles, another lawsuit blames an AI company of complicity in a teenager's suicide, and LimeWire acquired Fyre Festival
The NHTSA said it opened an investigation into the automaker's electrically powered doors. The problem: They stop working if the vehicle's low-voltage battery fails. The NHTSA's probe will cover the 2021 Model Y, which covers an estimated 174,000 vehicles.
Also, another family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against popular AI chatbot tool Character AI. This is the third suit of its kind after a 2024 lawsuit, also against Character AI, involving the suicide of a 14-year-old in Florida, and a lawsuit last month alleging OpenAI's ChatGPT helped a teenage boy commit suicide.
And, LimeWire has announced that it's acquired the rights to Fyre Festival, the disastrous, influencer-fueled 2017 music festival. The newly revived company — which now acts as a NFT music marketplace rather than a file-sharing service — bought the rights for $245,000 in an eBay auction.
