Meta’s new app, Waddle World, functions less like a standard game and more like a voice-activated journal. Users interact with pixelated creatures that create doodles to illustrate conversations, avoiding the pressure of scores or streaks. The company has also released Style Sketch, an AI-powered fashion app, in select Southeast Asian markets, though Meta has yet to clarify plans for a broader international launch.
Meta’s secret pet project and the resurrection of Greta Garbo
Meta is quietly testing a 16-bit virtual pet app in the Philippines, while industrial giant SKF has deployed an AI-generated Greta Garbo to promote a century-old payment model for energy-saving tech. Both moves highlight how major corporations are leveraging AI to bridge the gap between legacy branding and modern digital engagement.
Simultaneously, the manufacturing firm SKF is reviving its 1919 roots with a campaign featuring a digital recreation of Greta Garbo. The project introduces performance-based payment structures, allowing industrial clients to pay for energy-efficient magnetic bearings using the savings generated by the tech itself. Chief Technology Officer Annika Ölme notes that the initiative aims to remove financial barriers to innovation. By utilizing magnetic levitation to eliminate mechanical friction—which accounts for roughly 20 percent of global industrial energy waste—SKF hopes to make sustainable manufacturing accessible to more firms. The campaign received full approval from the actress’s estate, marking a strange, high-tech intersection of silent-era glamour and modern industrial sustainability.
