Meta AI tested: Doesn't quite justify its own existence, but free is free
Meta's new large language model, Llama 3, powers the imaginatively named "Meta AI," a newish chatbot that the social media and advertising company has installed in as many of its apps and interfaces as possible. It tends to regurgitate a lot of web search results, and it doesn't excel at anything, but hey — the price is right. You can currently access Meta AI for free on the web at Meta.ai, on Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and probably a few other places if those aren't enough.

Tesla Autopilot investigation closed after feds find 13 fatal crashes related to misuse
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration closed a long-standing investigation into Tesla's Autopilot driver assistance system after reviewing hundreds of crashes involving its misuse, including 13 that were fatal and "many more involving serious injuries." At the same time, NHTSA is opening a new investigation to evaluate whether the Autopilot recall fix that Tesla implemented in December is effective enough. NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation said in documents released Friday that it completed "an extensive body of work" which turned up evidence that "Tesla’s weak driver engagement system was not appropriate for Autopilot’s permissive operating capabilities."
