Meta is acquiring US-based startup Limitless, which builds an AI pendant that captures real-world conversations and turns them into searchable transcripts and summaries, as part of its push into AI-enabled consumer hardware beyond headsets and glasses. Limitless CEO Dan Siroker said the team will join Meta to help realize the company’s vision of bringing "personal superintelligence" to a wide audience through wearable devices. The startup previously raised over $33 million and started with Rewind, a desktop tool that recorded a user’s on-computer activity and made it queryable through a chatbot, before moving into hardware with the clip-on Pendant microphone. Following the deal, Limitless will stop selling new Pendants but will keep existing devices running for at least a year, drop subscription charges for current users, and offer tools for people to export or delete their stored data, reflecting both the promise and privacy sensitivities of always-listening AI wearables.

In House of Numbers: Anatomy of an Epidemic, an AIDS film like no other, the HIV/AIDS story is being rewritten. This is the first film to present the uncensored POVs of virtually all the major players; in their own settings, in their own words. It rocks the foundation upon which all conventional wisdom regarding HIV/AIDS is based. House of Numbers could well be the opening volley in a battle to bring sanity and clarity to an epidemic gone awry.
