Meta has a new app called Pocket that is absolutely nothing like the old Pocket

Meta 推出了一款名为 Pocket 的新应用，它与旧版 Pocket 毫无关系

Mozilla shut down the well-loved read-it-later Pocket app last year, and now Meta is launching an app called Pocket with an entirely different, AI-focused pitch: this new app lets you make and share little interactive “gizmos” built from an AI prompt, as reported by Business Insider.

Mozilla 去年关闭了备受喜爱的“稍后阅读”应用 Pocket，而现在 Meta 推出了一款同样名为 Pocket 的应用，但其核心理念完全不同，主打人工智能：据《商业内幕》（Business Insider）报道，这款新应用允许用户通过 AI 提示词（prompt）制作并分享小型交互式“小玩意”（gizmos）。

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is all in on AI as the new social media, and he’s previously described a vision of how users could use AI to make interactive experiences and share them with people. The launch of Pocket appears to be one manifestation of that idea, and it follows Meta hiring engineers from a company called Atma Sciences Inc., which made an app called Gizmo, as Business Insider reported in March. Meta got a non-exclusive license to use the company’s technology, and based on screenshots of Pocket on Google Play, the app looks to be pretty similar to Gizmo.

Meta 首席执行官马克·扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）全力押注 AI，将其视为社交媒体的新形态。他此前曾描述过一种愿景：用户可以利用 AI 创造交互式体验并与他人分享。Pocket 的发布似乎正是这一理念的体现。据《商业内幕》三月份报道，Meta 此前聘请了 Atma Sciences Inc. 公司的工程师，该公司曾开发过一款名为 Gizmo 的应用。Meta 获得了该公司技术的非独家授权，从 Google Play 上 Pocket 的截图来看，这款应用与 Gizmo 非常相似。

“Scroll a feed of gizmos from people around the world,” Meta says in Pocket’s Google Play description. “Gizmos respond to your touch and the tilt of your phone. They play sound effects and your favorite songs. They can use your camera or pull in photos from your camera roll. Some can even reason about the world around them.” On a help center page, Meta also describes a gizmo as a “playable AI-generated experience,” and when you post one, Meta says you can choose to let other people remix them.

“浏览来自世界各地人们制作的‘小玩意’信息流，”Meta 在 Pocket 的 Google Play 描述中写道。“这些‘小玩意’会对你的触摸和手机倾斜做出反应。它们可以播放音效和你最喜欢的歌曲。它们可以使用你的摄像头或调用相册中的照片。有些甚至能对周围的世界进行推理。”在帮助中心页面上，Meta 将“小玩意”描述为一种“可游玩的 AI 生成体验”，并表示当你发布一个“小玩意”时，可以选择是否允许他人对其进行二次创作（remix）。

However, if you’re in the US, it doesn’t seem like you can download Pocket just yet. Two US-based Verge staffers saw a note on the Google Play listing that said the app “isn’t available in your country.” I can’t find the app on Apple’s US App Store. Meta also notes in its help center that the app is “not yet available everywhere.” The company didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment.

然而，如果你身处美国，目前似乎还无法下载 Pocket。两名身在美国的《The Verge》员工在 Google Play 页面上看到提示称，该应用“在您所在的国家/地区不可用”。我也无法在苹果的美国 App Store 中找到这款应用。Meta 也在其帮助中心指出，该应用“尚未在所有地区上线”。该公司未立即回复置评请求。
