$META LAUNCHES AI GAME-BUILDING TOOLS

Meta is launching Horizon Create and Horizon Studio, letting users build complete 2D or 3D games from AI prompts on mobile or in a browser.

Games can then be published across Facebook and Instagram, where users can jump from a clip directly into a multiplayer session without downloading a separate app.

Meta says the tools can generate gameplay systems, difficulty, art direction and multiplayer features, while still letting creators manually refine the experience.

The rollout is part of Meta’s broader shift to make Horizon a mobile-first platform rather than primarily a VR product.

The problem with the rabbit r1 is that he tried to make it a productivity tool instead of a cute companion like the muse charm.
CONSUMERS DO NOT CARE ABOUT PRODUCTIVITY

@birdabo this is a pretty good reminder that the best product doesn’t always win.

the one with cheap distribution does.

Meta can drop a weird little AI tamagotchi into a billions of IG users and suddenly its culture.

Over the last few days I ranked the free Mac notch apps, then went back and then sat with them long enough to notice what still felt off.

What I kept looking for wasn’t another island under the camera.

I wanted something that doesn’t look off; closer to Apple than to a plugin. Dependable. Quiet.

The kind of polish you only notice when it isn’t there.

I’ve been quietly building that for the past couple of days.

Today, I’m introducing OmniNotch.
The notch that does it all.
