What’s cookin’? Meta is rolling out new AI tools on Facebook, including an AI Mode for search. Instead of only showing links, AI Mode uses Meta AI to answer questions based on public posts, Groups, Reels, opinions, and recommendations shared across Meta’s apps. The goal is to make Facebook feel less like a place you scroll and more like a place you ask for help. Meta is also adding AI creative tools, including camera roll sharing suggestions, collage templates, video transitions, and photo presets that can seamlessly change your clothes, hair, or accessories. These camera roll suggestions are opt-in and can be turned off.

🤔 Hunter’s take: The interesting part is that Meta is not just adding AI to Facebook. It is trying to turn Facebook’s old social data into an answer engine. Google has web pages. ChatGPT has trained knowledge. Facebook has billions of public opinions, recommendations, complaints, and local tips. That could make AI answers feel more human and useful, but it also raises familiar risks about privacy and the reliability of answers garnered from the public.

What’s cookin’? SpaceX is buying Anysphere, the company behind the popular AI coding tool Cursor, in a $60 billion deal aimed at pushing deeper into enterprise AI. Cursor helps developers write, edit, and fix code with AI, making it faster for companies to build software. The deal will give SpaceX, and its connected AI business xAI, a stronger position in the fast-growing market for AI coding agents. Cursor would also likely gain access to much more computing power, which is crucial for training and running advanced AI systems. The merger is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026.

🤔 Hunter’s take: This is not just about writing code faster. It shows how AI coding tools are becoming core infrastructure for major companies. Whoever controls the tools developers use may shape how software gets built everywhere, including in space.
