🚀 Smart Glasses, Rich Robots, and Musical Videos: Today's Wild Ride Through AI Land

Big news! Meta is dropping their new smart glasses soon, and guess what? They won’t cost your entire piggy bank. These new specs, codenamed "Hypernova" (which honestly sounds like a superhero on laundry day), could be released next month for around $800. That’s cheaper than a fancy phone or a weekend trip to Disneyland where you accidentally buy too many churros.

These glasses aren’t for x-ray vision (boo) but they do have a tiny little display inside one lens. It’s like having a miniature Netflix screen in front of your eyeball—but less popcorn. And yes, you can get them in prescription form if your real eyes are as blurry as last night’s dreams. Meta’s idea is to get these on more faces by knocking the price down—just don’t expect them to match your favorite pair of aviators.

🎢 Now let’s talk about Duolingo

The bird app that teaches you how to say “the cat is on the table” in 85 languages. Their stock was soaring like an eagle after using AI to make learning better. But suddenly—uh oh—OpenAI came in with some spicy new language features in GPT-5, and investors panicked like someone yelled “¡tornado!” in Spanish class. The lesson? AI is awesome until bigger AI shows up and says, “Step aside, I got this.”

💰 Speaking of “wow”

OpenAI might soon be worth $500 billion—that's half a trillion dollars, folks. They’re letting their early employees cash out with a $6 billion stock sale and honestly, it’s like the Oprah show in Silicon Valley. "YOU get a yacht! And YOU get a yacht!" We're officially in the “billionaire-making AI era,” where startups are multiplying faster than rabbits after too much Red Bull.
