Good evening!
Maybe having an internet-enabled mattress has its downsides…
Here are the 7 things you missed today:
1. ✌️ Meta Laid Off 600 AI Employees
Is AI going to take AI engineer jobs? Maybe. Meta is laying off roughly 600 employees within its Fundamental Artificial Intelligence Research unit and other product-related positions. The move is in an effort to reduce layers and operate more nimbly, and puts employees in a “non-working notice period” until their Nov 21 termination. (CNBC)

3. 🚗 GM is Bringing Google Gemini to Cars
General Motors is adding a conversational AI assistant powered by Google Gemini to its cars, trucks, and SUVs starting in 2026. While the launch follows other automakers’ additions of AI-based assistants (Mercedes with ChatGPT, Tesla with Grok), it’s… interesting after GM simultaneously announced the removal of Apple CarPlay from more of its vehicles.

5. 🧑⚖️ Reddit is Suing Perplexity
Another busy day for Reddit’s legal department. The social media company is suing Perplexity and three “data-scraping service providers” to “stop the industrial-scale, unlawful circumvention of data protections by a group of bad actors who will stop at nothing to get their hands on valuable copyrighted content on Reddit.” (The Verge)
6. 👓 Amazon’s Launching AI Smart Glasses for Delivery Drivers
Your Amazon Prime deliveries are getting a cool new upgrade. In an effort to shave time off deliveries, Amazon is developing AI-powered smart glasses for its delivery drivers with the ability to scan packages, follow turn-by-turn walking directions, and capture proof of delivery without using their phones.

7. 🛌 Eight Sleep’s Smart Beds Got an Offline Mode
Did AWS’ outage this week disrupt your sleep? If you’re the owner of one of Eight Sleep’s elevating, temperature-controlling mattress systems, probably. Thousands of the company’s bed users were unable to adjust temperatures or bed positions when the tech was temporarily knocked out of service by AWS’ issues. Since then, the company has started shipping a new “outage mode” which allows the system to work over Bluetooth when cloud infrastructure is unavailable. (The Verge)
