Nilay Patel Profile and Activity - The Verge
When Nilay Patel was four years old, he drove a Chrysler into a small pond because he was trying to learn how the gearshift worked. Years later, he became a technology journalist. He has thus far remained dry.

Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth doesn’t reveal anything particularly new here, but I do love looking at prototypes. There’s much more detail in Alex Heath’s Orion hands-on — perhaps most importantly that Meta doesn’t plan to use these expensive silicon carbide lenses whenever it does produce an actual AR product. Meta was using Brady’s face for a goofy and now-discontinued chatbot character program, so maybe he’s just mad about that. No explaining why Kristen Bell, who is part of a current Meta celebrity AI product, also fell for it.
Meta’s CEO on his first pair of AR glasses, partnering with Ray-Ban, why he’s done with politics, and more. Joanna Stern convinced the Wall Street Journal to do something different for her iPhone review this year: they built a chatbot trained on her previous iPhone reviews and her testing notes for the new models.
