Google is beginning to replace news headlines in its search results with ones that are AI-generated. After doing something similar in its Google Discover news feed, it’s starting to mess with headlines in the traditional “10 blue links,” too.

According to an Instagram post from Meta’s CTO Andrew Bosworth, Meta is not shutting down VR support for Horizon Worlds after all, which should come as a huge relief to, like, five people.

Amazon announced on Tuesday that it’s making it easier for users to find products eligible for its 1-hour and 3- hour delivery options with a new “getitfast” page for same-day delivery products available in their area.
