Hundreds of people gathered at Mar Chiquita Lake in Argentina on Sunday to attempt a new Guinness World Record for the largest group floating simultaneously, while Meta faced legal challenges in New Mexico regarding child safety on its platforms and Ferrari unveiled the interior of its upcoming electric vehicle designed by Jony Ive.
The event at Mar Chiquita Lake, part of the second annual "Festival de la Planchita" in Miramar, aimed to bring together over 1,941 participants to break the previous record set at Lake Epecuén in 2017, according to Euronews. The attempt involved individuals floating in the hypersaline waters of the lake.
Meanwhile, Meta found itself in court in New Mexico, where the state opened its case Monday, accusing the company of misleading the public about the safety of its platform, according to The Verge. The state alleges that Meta's design features and algorithms created dangerous conditions for users, violating New Mexico's Unfair Practices Act, as reported by Wired. The case, which began in Santa Fe, centers on whether Meta failed to protect minors from sexual exploitation on its apps, including Facebook and Instagram.
In other news, Ferrari unveiled the interior of its upcoming electric vehicle, designed by Jony Ive's creative firm, LoveFrom. The unveiling, which took place last week at San Francisco's Transamerica building, marks a new era for the company, according to CEO Benedetto Vigna, as reported by Wired. While the exterior remains under wraps, the interior design suggests a similar aesthetic to Apple's Project Titan car, which was worked on for a decade before being canceled in 2024.
