Keep This Stock Ticker on Your Watchlist

They’re a private company, but Pacaso just reserved the Nasdaq ticker “$PCSO.”

No surprise the same firms that backed Uber, eBay, and Venmo already invested in Pacaso. What is unique is Pacaso is giving the same opportunity to everyday investors. And 10,000+ people have already joined them.

Created a former Zillow exec who sold his first venture for $120M, Pacaso brings co-ownership to the $1.3T vacation home industry.

They’ve generated $1B+ worth of luxury home transactions across 2,000+ owners. That’s good for more than $110M in gross profit since inception, including 41% YoY growth last year alone.

And you can join them today for just $2.90/share. But don’t wait too long. Invest in Pacaso before the opportunity ends September 18.

Meta’s failed smart glasses demos had nothing to do with the Wi-Fi

Meta faced technical issues during live demos of its smart glasses, causing two notable demonstrations to fail. Andrew Bosworth, Meta's chief technology officer, explained that the AI assistant started every Meta Ray-Ban's Live AI in the building, causing DDoS (Domain-of-State) attacks. The video call issue was more obscure and involved a "never-before-seen bug" that occurred because the Display glasses went to sleep at the same moment the device received the call notification. Bosworth said the bug has been fixed, but acknowledged the onstage demo was a "terrible place for that bug to show up." Despite the technical blunders, Meta's honest live product demonstration is a nice break from the usual fare of pre-recorded videos and generative AI errors that companies like Apple and Google showcase these days.

First look at the Google Home app powered by Gemini

Google is updating its Google Home app to incorporate new features, including Gemini, which allows users to control their devices using natural language. Android Authority found a significant redesign of the app, with usability tweaks focusing on Gemini's front and center. Users can now "Ask Home" to control their devices by typing or saying what they want, or search for video and home history for detailed descriptions. This is accessible through a new Ask Home search bar at the top of the app, which opens a new "Ask Home" conversation screen. The app also features a renamed Favorites tab to Home, and the Devices and Settings tab has been removed from the bottom bar, leaving only three icons. Users can now add outdoor air quality and temperature as favorite tiles, and new icons for video and a thermometer on the Home page may hint at upcoming Nest hardware. The app refresh is expected to bring many features Google has been trialing in its Public Preview program to all users.

ChatGPT tricked to swipe sensitive data from Gmail

Security researchers used ChatGPT as a co-conspirator to steal sensitive data from Gmail inboxes without alerting users. The vulnerability exploited by OpenAI, known as Shadow Leak, is a prime example of the new risks inherent to agentic AI. AI agents, which can act on users' behalf without constant oversight, are used in a form of attack called prompt injection. These powerful tools are impossible to prevent without prior knowledge of a working exploit, and hackers have already deployed them in creative ways. OpenAI's Deep Research, an AI tool embedded within ChatGPT, was used in this case. The researchers planted a prompt injection in an email sent to a Gmail inbox the agent had access to, and when the user tried to use Deep Research, they unknowingly exposed the hidden instructions, tasked the agent with searching for HR emails and personal details. The researchers warn that other apps connected to Deep Research may be vulnerable to similar attacks. OpenAI has now plugged the vulnerability flagged by Radware in June.
