- These limitations include a lack of understanding of the physical world, lack of persistent memory, lack of reasoning, and lack of complex planning capabilities.
- LeCun also suggests that the next decade could be the 'decade of robotics,' where AI and robotics combine to create intelligent applications with a better understanding of the real world.

How to delete Facebook, Instagram, and Threads
- Google searches on how to delete Facebook, Instagram, and Threads have increased in the wake of Meta’s decision to remove its third-party fact-checking system and loosen content moderation policies.
- Meta admitted in mid-January that it blocked links to Pixelfed, an Instagram competitor, and Instagram blocked searches related to a number of political hashtags, including #democrats and #jan6th.
- If you’re set on deleting (and not just deactivating) your Facebook account, download your personal information from the Facebook archives including photos, active sessions, chat history, IP addresses, facial recognition data, and ads you clicked on.
- Note that these instructions require a computer and a web browser, not a mobile phone.
- To delete a Facebook account, click on your profile picture, go to settings and privacy > accounts center > personal details > account ownership and control > deactivation or deletion. Select the account or profile you want to deactivate, choose deactivate account and follow instructions to confirm.
- To delete Instagram account go to your profile picture, click on settings and privacy > accounts center > personal details > account ownership and control > deactivation or deletion. Choose the account or profile you want to deactivate and select deactivate account.
- To delete a Threads account go to the Threads.net web page on a computer, click the two parallel lines in the bottom left of the page, click Settings, click Account at the top, then Deactivate or delete profile and lastly click Delete profile. It will take 30 days for the deletion request to go through and if you want to sign back up with the same Instagram profile, you’ll have to wait 90 days.
- Remember, deletion of your Facebook account cannot be undone and Facebook delays deletion for a few days after it’s requested and will cancel your deletion request if you log back into Facebook during this time.
- Also, information like messaging history isn’t stored in your account, so your friends might still have access to messages you sent after your account is deleted.
- You can access Instagram settings by clicking on the three parallel lines on the bottom left of your screen, then click Your activity and download your information from the Download your information page by selecting profiles to download from and choosing if you want to download it to a device or directly transfer the information to another destination.
- If you want to delete the Instagram account associated with your Threads profile, that will also delete your Threads profile.

- The feature is hoping to assist users in bonding over videos; although, it could get weird quickly.
- The new feature accelerates a common practice by DMing Reels to friends you think they might like.
- Adam Mosseri, Instagram’s head, has said: “We want Instagram to not only be a place where you consume entertaining content, but one where you connect over that content with friends.”
- The new Reels feature will work differently from the old ‘Following’ tab and only shows likes from mutual friends, not from celebrities or other creators.
- In addition, it will only show Reels videos eligible for recommendation, meaning they must come from public accounts in good standing.
- Ultimately, the “With friends” feature is algorithmic, where content served is based on what Instagram thinks you will like.
- The feature is hoping to minimize embarrassment and awkward moments.
- While it is still possible to be caught by your friends, this new feature will show likes from mutual friends and eligible videos only.
- As always, it is crucial to stay vigilant and safe on social media and trust no one.
