Meta has developed a new AI model called Segment Anything that can cut any object out of any digital image or video, even if it’s never seen the object or the image before. The research could have big implications for Meta’s metaverse (if it shows up) as well as its core ads business.

The site’s “Twitter Verified” feed, which historically has followed all verified accounts (before the launch of Twitter Blue) began a mass unfollowing Thursday afternoon.

A moratorium on regulating human commercial spaceflight—aka space tourism—is set to expire in October, and the folks at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are at a crossroads: to renew or not to renew?
