AI Powers WordPress, Fights Diabetes, and Cleans Cars

WordPress users can now edit their websites using an AI assistant built into the platform's site editor and media library, according to The Verge. Starting Tuesday, the AI assistant will allow users to edit and translate text, generate and edit images, and reorganize their sites. In other tech news, a Vermont-based startup announced a new upgrade kit that adds a remotely triggered backup camera cleaner to cars, while a recent survey revealed that many VMware customers are still reducing their VMware footprint.

The new AI assistant for WordPress, as reported by The Verge, features a sidebar in the site editor where users can input prompts to make changes. This tool aims to streamline website management by leveraging artificial intelligence for various editing tasks. Stevie Bonifield of The Verge noted that the AI assistant is an opt-in feature.

Meanwhile, a Vermont-based startup introduced the Lens Lizard, an aftermarket upgrade kit designed to keep car backup cameras clean. The Lens Lizard is installed using existing license plate screw holes, according to The Verge. This system offers a solution to ensure the backup camera remains usable.

In the realm of enterprise technology, a recent report from CloudBolt Software, titled "The Mass Exodus That Never Was: The Squeeze Is Just Beginning," revealed that VMware customers are still grappling with challenges. The report, based on a survey of 302 IT decision-makers at North American companies with at least 1,000 employees, highlights issues such as higher prices and vendor lock-in, according to Ars Technica. CloudBolt, a hybrid cloud management platform provider, aims to identify VMware customer pain points to offer relevant solutions.

The longevity of vehicles is increasingly tied to the survival of the companies behind their code, Ars Technica reported. As cars become platforms for software and subscriptions, the failure of these companies can have significant consequences, potentially affecting a car's basic functionality.

In other developments, digital twins are emerging as a tool to help people manage diabetes and obesity. Rodney Buckley, a retired firefighter, lost 100 pounds in less than a year with the help of a digital twin, according to Wired. With the rising costs of medications like Ozempic, some employers are turning to non-medication alternatives to help people manage their health.
