What does Twitter's 150m Magic Pony acquisition tells us about the future of social media?

Twitter has moved to beef-up its AI and VR arms with the purchase of Magic Pony Technology - a UK-based company which it has acquired for a reported 150m. Its technology uses'neutral networks' to improve the quality of photos and videos - this means that the technology is trained to think like a human. It works in a way that is similar to how the human eye sees objects from different angles and processes them into one image. This technology is also likely to be used to develop virtual reality and augmented reality features and experiences. It also exploits machine learning - technology that can learn by itself as it gathers data.
