Meta Looks for Exclusive Hollywood Content for its New Headset, WSJ
Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is negotiating exclusive immersive content for its future premium virtual reality headgear, internally named "Loma," with Disney, A24, and other companies. The device, which is set to be released next year, will cost less than $1,000 and look like giant eyeglasses attached to a pocket-sized puck. To compete with Apple's $3,500 Vision Pro, Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is paying millions for VR-only versions of popular IPs. Loma intends to combine immersive video with portability and will have higher-fidelity images than current Meta Quest devices. Disney and James Cameron's Lightstorm Entertainment have previously teamed up with Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) to create a Star Wars virtual reality experience. While allowing content to be monetized later on other platforms, the business is giving priority to time-limited VR exclusivity. In 2024, Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META)'s VR/AR business, Reality Labs, reported a $17.7 billion loss on $2.1 billion in revenue. Despite becoming a market leader, its Quest line is still specialized; since 2021, its AI-powered Ray-Ban spectacles have sold two million pairs. While we acknowledge the potential of META as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

BOXING great Vasiliy Lomachenko has announced his retirement - bringing the end to an iconic career. Lomachenko has the greatest amateur record of all time, winning 396 times with just one loss - which he avenged. 6 Vasiliy Lomachenko has announced his retirement from boxing Credit: Instagram / @lomachenkovasiliy 6 Lomachenko retires as a three-weight champion Credit: Getty As a professional, the masterful southpaw won titles at feather, super-feather and lightweight. And he dazzled fans with his incredible footwork, combination punching and speed. He beat George Kambosos last May in Australia but has not fought since - rejecting talks to later fight Gervonta Davis. It cast doubt over his future in the sport - and now Loma has confirmed his retirement in a lengthy Instagram video.

Loma turned pro in 2013 - a year after the London Games - and did so after winning double Olympic gold. He wanted to fight for world title on his DEBUT - but was unable to do so without a ranking. Loma beat Jose Luis Ramírez in four quick rounds before challenging Orlando Salido for the WBO featherweight title.

Loma fought at lightweight despite being vastly oversized by his opponents - something that would inevitably catch up with him. Teofimo Lopez stunned him in 2020 to win the unified titles and three years later, Devin Haney would controversially beat Loma on points. Loma returned 12 months later to stop Kambosos in 11 rounds - winning back the IBF belt - but he later vacated the strap. And despite being linked with big-money bouts against the likes of Davis and Shakur Stevenson - it marked the end of the road for one of the sport's greatest. Loma was a fighter inside and outside of the ring - signing up to defend his country after Russia's invasion in February 2022. He enlisted with the Territorial Defence Forces - but eventually returned to boxing to resume his career. Loma hangs up his gloves with 418 total fights - amateur and pro - 414 wins, just four losses and a host of gold medals and world title belts. 6 Lomachenko beat George Kambosos in his last fight Credit: EPA 6 He suffered a controversial loss to Devin Haney Credit: Getty 6 Lomachenko was beaten by Teofimo Lopez in 2020 Credit: Handout - Getty 6 Lomachenko was a double Olympic champion Credit: Getty Images - Getty

TNB Tech Minute: Reddit Sues Anthropic, Alleging Unauthorized Data Use - Tech News Briefing
Full Transcript This transcript was prepared by a transcription service. This version may not be in its final form and may be updated. Julie Chang: Here's your TNB Tech minute for Wednesday, June 4th. I'm Julie Chang for the Wall Street Journal. Reddit is suing Anthropic, saying The AI startup used the site's data for commercial purposes without a licensing agreement violating user data policy. The lawsuit references a 2021 Anthropic research paper that details the usefulness of Reddit data in AI model training. Reddit has licensing deals with OpenAI and Google, but said it had tried and failed to reach an agreement with Anthropic. A spokeswoman for Anthropic said the company disagrees with Reddit's claims and will defend itself vigorously. Meta is in talks with Disney, A24, and other smaller production companies to feature exclusive content on its new premium virtual reality headset to be launched next year. Thus, according to people familiar with the matter, the new device known internally as Loma is set to rival Apple's Vision Pro. Meta is offering millions of dollars for episodic and standalone immersive video based on well-known intellectual property. A Meta spokesman referred to comments by its CTO about the company working on many prototypes, not all of which go into production. CrowdStrike says its cooperating with federal authorities in connection with an incident last July, when a bug in the company's software knocked millions of computers offline. The outage delayed thousands of flights, broke backend systems, and rendered laptops temporarily unusable. According to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the cybersecurity firms at the Justice Department and the SEC have requested information related to the incident and other matters. Shares of CrowdStrike fell more than 5% today. For a deeper dive into what's happening in tech, check out Thursday's Tech News Briefing podcast.

Scots Michelin star chef opens new fine dining restaurant at Cameron House
Graeme Cheevers returns to Cameron House almost 10 years on with a new fine-dining concept on the shores of Loch Lomond. A Michelin-starred chef has opened the doors to his new fine-dining restaurant at luxury five-star resort Cameron House. Acclaimed chef Graeme Cheevers, from Glasgow, made a triumphant return to Loch Lomond with the eagerly anticipated launch of Loma. Cheevers once served as Head Chef at Cameron House under Martin Wishart more than a decade ago. Reuniting with his roots, he has returned with his own vision which promises to push the boundaries of Scottish cuisine and elevate the resort's gastronomic status. Housed within the stunning surroundings of Cameron House, Cheevers hopes Loma will become a new jewel in Scotland's fine-dining scene. 'I am thrilled to return to Cameron House to create Loma,' said Cheevers. 'This is an incredible opportunity to showcase Scotland's finest produce in a destination that truly embodies our country's elegance and spirit. "Our goal is to offer guests an unforgettable dining experience, one that combines precision, creativity and warm Scottish hospitality. I hope Loma will become a must-visit for both locals and visitors alike.' The restaurant will offer a seasonal menu championing Scotland's rich natural larder - from Loch Fyne langoustine to Argyle Estate red deer, Orkney gold beef and Perthshire strawberries. Loma will be Cheevers second venture after opening popular restaurant Unalome in 2021 in Glasgow. The Michelin-starred eatery is known for its modern Scottish flavours and meticulous craftsmanship. Cheevers confirmed he will remain hands-on in both Loma and Unalome, splitting his time to ensure each kitchen maintains its standards, identity and commitment to culinary excellence. Will Oakley, Managing Director of Cameron House, welcomed the partnership. 'We are delighted to welcome back Graeme Cheevers and collaborate with him on this exciting new venture.
