😎 Google’s smart glasses are coming this fall Google just revealed its Android XR vision — and the first smart glasses launch this fall. The first wave focuses on lightweight audio glasses, not full AR displays. Powered by Gemini, the glasses understand what you’re looking at. Ask about restaurants, parking signs, or get live translation — all hands-free. Google partnered with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker for the design, clearly aiming for something people actually want to wear all day. And yes, they work with iPhone too. Looks like the smartphone is slowly becoming just the “brain in your pocket.” 👓
🦖 Colossal is building artificial eggs to revive giant birds The company trying to resurrect mammoths just unveiled an artificial egg incubator — and it already hatched multiple chicks. The end goal? Bringing back the giant moa, a 3-meter-tall bird from New Zealand that went extinct centuries ago. Problem is: no living bird can realistically incubate an egg that size. So Colossal built a silicone-based artificial egg with a membrane that mimics real shell oxygen exchange. Scientists can even watch embryos develop in real time while testing genetic edits. For now it’s chickens. Next: emus and ostriches. Then maybe… moa. We officially live in a timeline where extinct birds might come back through biotech. 😶
