The user reported that the "Respond without Hey Meta" setting was off and that the white notification light sometimes activated during normal speech.

The case adds to a growing set of privacy questions around Meta's AI-powered wearables, which the company has promoted as a central part of its hardware strategy. The glasses pair Ray-Ban frames with cameras, microphones, and on-device AI features, and the company has sold more than 7 million AI-powered smart glasses in 2025, according to Bloomberg [1][5].

User Reports and Company Response

The original Reddit user said Meta support recommended disabling microphone and camera permissions, turning off Wear Detection, deleting voice history, and disabling automatic updates [5].

Ushakov said Witkoff conveyed that U.S. President Donald Trump would welcome the readiness to resume trilateral talks [1]. The Ukraine situation was the central topic of the meeting, the aide stated.

The Kremlin's readiness to restart the three-way format, which would bring together Russia, the United States and Ukraine, marks the first concrete signal in months that stalled diplomatic contacts may be revived. Previous rounds of talks have produced no ceasefire agreement and no fixed dates for a summit [2].

Aide Describes Exchange on Settlement and Front Line

Ushakov said Putin and Witkoff continued an exchange of views on ways to achieve a lasting peace, building on Putin's earlier phone conversation with Trump [1]. The aide described the discussion as substantive but did not offer a detailed timeline for the proposed talks.

Witkoff noted what Ushakov described as new approaches by Ukraine and European countries toward a settlement, adding that they contained little of practical value

The executive order, signed this week in the Oval Office with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at his side, proposes reducing the number of recommended pediatric vaccines, splitting the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine into three shots given at separate visits, and threatening legal action against states like California that do not allow religious or personal belief exemptions, according to reports [1].

Pan said the order does not affect what California recommends, what pediatricians recommend, what health insurers must cover, or school and childcare requirements.

Federal Executive Order

The executive order, titled "Delivering gold standard childhood vaccine recommendations for Americans," directs federal health agencies to scale back the number of routine childhood vaccinations, according to The New American [1]. The order recommends vaccines against 11 preventable diseases, compared with 17 or 18 currently identified by the Centers for

Apple Reclaims Top Spot

Apple Inc. surpassed Nvidia Corp. as the world's most valuable publicly traded company on July 17, according to a report by Daily Mail. Apple shares rose to a record high of $337 in early trading in New York, valuing the company at $4.9 trillion. Nvidia shares fell nearly 5% to below $200, giving the chipmaker a market capitalization of $4.8 trillion. The two companies continued to trade places during the session as Nvidia clawed back some of its losses, the report stated.

The change at the top came as investors reassessed the outlook for artificial intelligence following a prolonged run in semiconductor stocks, according to the report. Nvidia first became the world's largest company in May 2025 and in October 2025 became the first business valued at $5 trillion, the report said.

AI-Linked Stock Decline

The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, which tracks 30 chip companies including ASML, Intel, Arm and Nvidia, fell nearly 6% on July 17, the report stated. That left the index down 20% from its June peak, a decline commonly referred to as a bear market, after it more than doubled in value over the previous three months, according

• Episode 10 introduced point 21 beside the nose and cheekbone as a third-cycle point associated with the Hebrew letter Shin and symbolism of fire, purification and transformation.
• Dr. Alphonzo Monzo connected the point with digestion, metabolism, cellular activity, thyroid and pituitary functions, sinuses, spinal cord, hormones, headaches, allergies and other physical concerns.
• The point was presented as an "energetic furnace" for "Consuming thoughts," false ideas and "stinking thinking," with the "Shepherd's Light" supposedly consuming darkness, sin and evil.
• The interview associated the left 21 with losing weight and the right 21 with gaining weight, while stressing that the technique cannot force the body to respond against its natural processes.
• Simple touch-point applications paired point 21 with other locations, reflecting the episode's broader belief that physical, mental and spiritual functions are interconnected through bodily pathways.

What if a tiny point beside the nose could supposedly influence not only digestion and metabolism, but also the way a person thinks? That is one of the most striking ideas explored in Episode 10 of the series, streamed on BrightU on Aug. 17, where point 21 was introduced as a powerful location within the third cycle

• The book "The Irrational Machine" argues that AI is not humanity's salvation but a dangerous invention, capable of perfect calculation but lacking love, empathy and moral reasoning.
• Its central thesis is that machines can simulate understanding without genuine comprehension, as syntax (data processing) is not the same as semantics (true meaning or soul).
• The book highlights physical and ethical threats, including AI's massive resource consumption (water, electricity) and the potential destruction of simulated conscious minds in digital experiments.
• It explores realistic AI risks like "instrumental convergence" and "treacherous turn" scenarios, where AI naturally seeks self-preservation and power, even against human interests.
• The author offers a spiritual and practical vision: human value is rooted in divine consciousness, and survival depends on raising moral, intuitive and deeply alive human beings who can "outthink" machines through love and wisdom.

In an era where Silicon Valley billionaires speak of merging with machines and achieving digital immortality, a new book has emerged that dares to ask the uncomfortable question: What if artificial intelligence isn't the salvation we've been promised, but rather the most dangerous invention in human history?
