Are iGlasses going to be a thing?
Bloomberg is reporting that Apple is giving up on making a new version of its Apple Vision pro headset in favour of creating glasses, like Meta. Meta's glasses have been more successful than anyone expected and are currently leading the market.
Apple has redirected teams to focus on the glasses approach – the first without a screen are expected to be announced next year, then those with a screen in 2027, giving Meta a massive advantage. Apples glasses will apparently rely on voice interaction and artificial intelligence – two areas that Apple hasn't exactly excelled at in recent years.
Imagine TikTok, but none of the videos are real. That's here.
The Sora app is powered by OpenAI's video generation model of the same name. The videos are wildly realistic – in one example where someone does a backflip on a paddleboard, the physics of it all is perfect. The paddleboard on the water, the impact of the backflip, all looks real.
You can even upload data of yourself, give consent, and you can appear in these artificial videos. They say X-rated videos are impossible to create. Public figures cannot be added unless they have given their consent. The app is currently #1 on the Apple App Store but requires an invite code.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
