On the heels of reports that META is exploring a move into compute-as-a-service like xAI, Mark Zuckerberg told an internal town hall that AI agent development over the last four months hasn’t accelerated 'in the way we expected'. The race continues to narrow.

Flying Overture will be nicer than flying domestic first class—at 2x speed. We have ~60 seats in a bigger space than Concorde had 100. Plus taller ceilings, a boarding door 10" taller (1" taller than a 737). There will be a version with flatbeds for extra long flights too.

Many people are depth deprived. They stare at screens, walls, and city blocks all day. Daily life collapses vision into the near field. Humans seem to need distance for the nervous system. Depth gives the eye something far away to settle on. That may be why views feel medicinal.
