										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed during an investor call on Wednesday that the company will roll out a new generation of AI models and products to users in the coming months. He stated, &#8220;In 2025, we rebuilt the foundation of our AI project,&#8221; and predicted that &#8220;the new year will continue to push the boundaries of technology.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;</div>
<div><img decoding="async" src="https://www.newsmild.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ba5575f19f6f0e4061910ca49e9b7137.webp" data-filename="filename" style="width: 471.771px;"></div>
<div>Although no specific timeline was disclosed, Zuckerberg emphasized that AI-driven commerce will become a core focus. He noted, &#8220;New intelligent shopping tools will help users accurately match their needs from a vast business catalog.&#8221; This statement aligns with the broader industry trend of exploring AI shopping assistants—Google and OpenAI have already established intelligent transaction platforms and secured partnerships with companies such as Stripe and Uber.&nbsp;&nbsp;</div>
<div></div>
<div>Unlike other AI labs that have built extensive technical infrastructure, Meta believes its unique advantage lies in its personal data assets. Zuckerberg explained, &#8220;We are witnessing the potential of AI to understand personal context, including history, interests, content, and social relationships. The value of intelligent agents largely depends on the unique contextual information they can access, and Meta is poised to deliver an irreplaceable personalized experience.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;</div>
<div></div>
<div>This announcement signals Meta’s accelerated integration of AI technology into its social and commercial ecosystems, aiming to build a differentiated competitive advantage by combining personalized data with intelligent agent technology.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Roger Luo said:<span style="color: rgb(15, 17, 21); font-family: quote-cjk-patch, Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Meta is deeply integrating AI with social data to establish a moat in the agentic commerce space. However, whether its massive infrastructure investment can translate into a sustainable business model remains to be tested by the market.</span></div>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg bought several large underground facilities. The company confirmed this purchase today. The exact locations remain secret. Meta did not disclose the purchase price. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
                <a href="" target="_self" title="Zuckerberg Buys Underground Facilities"><br />
                <img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-5057 aligncenter" src="https://www.newsmild.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/6a70f3c6c7f74cb5d08c135ef2a3e0e4.jpg" alt="Zuckerberg Buys Underground Facilities " width="380" height="250"><br />

<p style="text-wrap: wrap; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><em> (Zuckerberg Buys Underground Facilities)</em></span>
                </p>
<p>These sites are former industrial complexes. They are located deep below ground. Sources suggest they are spread across different regions. Meta plans to use these spaces for secure data storage. They also plan to use them for specialized computing projects.</p>
<p>Zuckerberg sees value in these unique locations. Underground sites offer natural protection. They are shielded from surface weather events. They provide strong physical security. They also offer stable temperatures. This reduces cooling costs for computer servers.</p>
<p>The company needs more infrastructure. Meta&#8217;s work in artificial intelligence requires massive computing power. Storing data securely is also critical. These underground sites meet both needs. Construction crews will begin modifying the spaces soon.</p>
<p>Meta expects the facilities to be operational within two years. The project will create new technical jobs. Zuckerberg stated this investment supports Meta&#8217;s long-term goals. He emphasized reliable data handling and cutting-edge research. Security matters. The deep locations help safeguard user information and advanced technology.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
                <a href="" target="_self" title="Zuckerberg Buys Underground Facilities"><br />
                <img decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-5057 aligncenter" src="https://www.newsmild.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/566af7908b520dcebcfda8c4ac99930b.jpg" alt="Zuckerberg Buys Underground Facilities " width="380" height="250"><br />

<p style="text-wrap: wrap; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><em> (Zuckerberg Buys Underground Facilities)</em></span>
                </p>
<p>                 The move follows similar investments by other tech firms. Securing specialized real estate is becoming common. Meta believes these facilities offer unique advantages. They provide space, security, and environmental benefits. The company will manage all operations directly.</p>

                </p>
<p>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</p>
<p>A major research project funded by Meta investigated social media&#8217;s impact on happiness. The findings were unexpected. The study discovered social media use actually lowers well-being for many people. This outcome contradicts Meta&#8217;s apparent hopes for positive results.</p>
<p>Meta provided significant financial support for this work. Researchers tracked thousands of users over time. They analyzed self-reported feelings alongside actual platform usage data. The goal was to measure the &#8220;happiness effect&#8221; of platforms like Facebook and Instagram.</p>
<p>The results were clear. Increased time spent on social media correlated strongly with decreased self-reported happiness. Users frequently reported feeling worse after using the platforms. Feelings of loneliness and envy often increased. This negative effect was particularly noticeable in younger users.</p>
<p>Lead researchers expressed surprise at the strength of the evidence. &#8220;The data consistently pointed towards harm, not benefit, for a substantial portion of users,&#8221; stated one principal investigator. &#8220;The scale of the negative association was significant. We had to report what we found.&#8221;</p>
<p>These findings present a challenge for Meta. The company actively promotes social connection through its products. Internal communications previously suggested Meta expected this research to highlight positive effects. The actual results show the opposite trend for many individuals.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
                <a href="" target="_self" title="Meta Funded Research On The ‘Happiness Effect Of Social Media’, But The Result Was Counterproductive"><br />

                </p>
<p>                 Meta acknowledged receiving the final research report. Company representatives declined detailed comment on the specific negative findings. They reiterated Meta&#8217;s commitment to understanding user well-being. They mentioned ongoing internal research efforts. Independent experts note the study&#8217;s methodology appears robust. The counterproductive result adds weight to existing concerns about social media&#8217;s psychological costs. Calls for greater platform accountability and user safeguards are likely to intensify.</p>

<p style="text-wrap: wrap; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><em> (Meta Launches Vr Travel Application To Support Virtual Tours Of Global Attractions)</em></span>
                </p>
<p>Meta announced the release of a new virtual reality application designed to let users explore famous global attractions from home. The app, named Meta Travel, offers immersive 360-degree views of landmarks, museums, and natural wonders. It aims to provide an accessible alternative for people unable to visit these locations in person.  </p>
<p>The app includes guided tours of sites like the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal, and the Grand Canyon. Users can navigate these locations using VR headsets or smartphones. Meta developed the technology in partnership with tourism boards and cultural organizations. The company stated the app will expand to include over 100 destinations by early 2025.  </p>
<p>Meta’s CEO highlighted the app’s potential to connect people with global culture. &#8220;Travel barriers like cost or physical limitations shouldn’t stop anyone from experiencing the world,&#8221; he said. The app also features educational content, with historians and local guides providing context during tours.  </p>
<p>The platform supports group experiences, allowing friends or families to explore virtual spaces together. Users can interact through avatars and share reactions in real time. Meta emphasized privacy safeguards, noting that user data from the app will not be used for advertising.  </p>
<p>Downloads for Meta Travel begin next month on iOS, Android, and Meta Quest devices. A free version offers limited access, while a subscription unlocks full content. Partners include UNESCO and National Geographic, ensuring accuracy in cultural and historical details.  </p>
<p>The launch aligns with Meta’s broader push into VR and augmented reality. Earlier this year, the company invested heavily in metaverse development. Analysts say this app could attract users beyond gaming, positioning VR as a tool for education and tourism.  </p>
<p>Meta Travel enters a competitive market, with similar apps offering virtual museum tours and travel simulations. However, Meta’s large user base and partnerships may give it an edge. The company plans to add user-generated content features, letting people create and share their own virtual tours.  </p>
