Meta Plans New AI-Powered 'Morning Brief' Drawn From Facebook and 'External Sources' (msn.com)

(Saturday November 22, 2025 @05:34PM (EditorDavid) from the new-news-feeds dept.)


Meta "is testing a new product that would give Facebook users a personalized daily briefing powered by the company's generative AI technology" [1]reports the Washington Post . They cite records they've reviwed showing that Meta "would analyze Facebook content and external sources to push custom updates to its users."

> The company plans to test the product with a small group of Facebook users in select cities such as New York and San Francisco, according to a person familiar with the project who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private company matters...

>

> Meta's foray into pushing updates for consumers follows years of controversy over its relationship with publishers. The tech company has waffled between prominently featuring content from mainstream news sources on Facebook to pulling news links altogether as regulators pushed the tech giant to pay publishers for content on its platforms. More recently, publishers [2]have sued Meta, alleging it infringed on their copyrighted works to train its AI models.

Same bucket of everything and anything. Totally unrelatable and full of ads. Because that's what it's all about - serving more ads.

I. Any body suspended in space will remain in space until made aware of
its situation.
Daffy Duck steps off a cliff, expecting further pastureland. He
loiters in midair, soliloquizing flippantly, until he chances to
look down. At this point, the familiar principle of 32 feet per
second per second takes over.
II. Any body in motion will tend to remain in motion until solid matter
intervenes suddenly.
Whether shot from a cannon or in hot pursuit on foot, cartoon
characters are so absolute in their momentum that only a telephone
pole or an outsize boulder retards their forward motion absolutely.
Sir Isaac Newton called this sudden termination of motion the
stooge's surcease.
III. Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation
conforming to its perimeter.
Also called the silhouette of passage, this phenomenon is the
speciality of victims of directed-pressure explosions and of reckless
cowards who are so eager to escape that they exit directly through
the wall of a house, leaving a cookie-cutout-perfect hole. The
threat of skunks or matrimony often catalyzes this reaction.
