Not so long after its launch in the beginning of the year, Moltbook has been bought by none other than Meta. The social media platform was built specifically for AI agents and that obviously created a lot of chatter online. Axios and Ars Technica say the price is unknown at this point, and the deal should be sealed soon, in mid-March. From now onwards, Moltbook’s founders, Matt Schlicht and Ben Parr, will join Meta Superintelligence Labs, the unit run by Alexandr Wang.

Tinder held its inaugural product keynote on Thursday, unveiling an ambitious slate of updates designed to reinvigorate its product, bolster safety, and harness AI.

Rivian revealed the specs and pricing details for its pivotal R2 SUV on Thursday, and the company also finally answered a long-burning question: When will customers be able to buy the promised $45,000 base model? That answer is “late 2027,” according to the company’s press materials. And there’s a catch. The language Rivian uses now is that the base model R2 will be “starting around $45,000.” That’s a notable change from how the company was recently promoting that the R2 would be “starting at $45,000″ on its website. (Emphasis mine.) This is not exactly surprising. As TechCrunch first reported last…
