Meta’s new Forum app for iPhones takes Facebook Groups and moves them to a dedicated app with a dedicated AI chatbot to go with it, like an AI revamp of the ill-fated Groups app Facebook shut down in 2017.Rather than going to ChatGPT or tacking “Reddit” onto the end of a Google search, Forum users can view, search for, and post advice directly in their Facebook groups, with optional help from Meta’s AI.After logging in with my Facebook account, Forum automatically pulled in the groups I was part of on Facebook and populated my feed with posts from those groups,…

This is a pretty big deal, as Caltech has run the program since its founding in 1936. The JPL actually predates NASA by over two decades. This doesn’t mean that Caltech is getting shut out. It just means that NASA is looking into other options.

Mitsubishi is desperate to increase its sales in the US, but in order to do that, it also needs to have dealers willing to market its cars.

Open-topped models powered by the fastest-revving Porsche flat-six around have typically been very scarce, though the automaker has taken the wraps off a solution that’ll let GT3 drivers ditch the top at a button…
