Apparently it’s more dishonest to write about facial-recognition code embedded in software distributed to tens of millions of people than it is to embed it there in the first place.

Here’s how I did it for @theverge.com

It's still crazy that the internet is already so infested with AI slop, we're considering labeling human-made content instead. @zombiewretch.bsky.social says:
For 7 months, @dompreston.com dug into Trump Mobile every week. Delivery dates came and went. Specs changed. 2 flag stripes disappeared. There was a suspicious potential prototype. False claims that T1 was "here." This week, Dom breaks down why the presidential vaporware can't be "made in the USA."
The Verge now has dark mode.
And light mode.
It's not even a proprietary model! This AI startup will feed your script into Gemini, DeepSeek, Claude, ChatGPT and predict its "success" with audiences. (It thought Christy would outperform Sinners though.)
@charlespulliam.bsky.social looks into the dubiousness.
its @dmehro.bsky.social and @dell.bsky.social joint back at it again double trouble etc

The Great American Cotton Plan is a MAHA-flavored bailout
I admit, if you ignore where it says ‘unreleased’ right below the headline (and on our homepage), then skip past the part where we say it required a code review, and ignore paragraphs 4, 8, 10, 12, 16, and all the adjectives that mean undisclosed, it does read like an active feature.
Code reviewed by WIRED uncovered an unreleased face-recognition system embedded in Meta’s smart glasses platform. It’s designed to identify people via biometric data stored on users’ phones.
Almost all chatbots The Verge tried failed our test of mental health safety features.

Of note this year were the range of pieces focused on the cuts to scientific research funding in the USA. UK and Irish journalists investigated the impact on individuals, institutions and communities both in the USA and internationally.
