    After Meta's personal agent Muse went viral, who is most likely to build a Chinese version of Muse

    Meta's personal AI agent Muse launched on September 8, surpassing 2.5 million downloads in 13 days, with 642,000 daily active users on the US mobile end, nearly 3 times that of ChatGPT in its early launch period; on September 21, Meta's market value rose by more than $190 billion in a single day. The article benchmarks domestic players across four items—entry point, payments, ecosystem, and execution capability—arguing that Tencent's Xiaowei has the most similar foundation but is constrained by WeChat's boundaries, Alibaba's Qwen is closest to transactions but lacks lifestyle scenarios, and ByteDance's Doubao phone relies on simulated operations and faces platform risk controls; in the short term, it is more likely that butlers within each ecosystem will coexist.

    Anthropic's Thariq on the Next Phase of Claude Code: Claude Mods, Projects, and Agent Security

    Anthropic's Thariq Shihipar introduced the next phase of Claude Code on the Latent Space podcast, including Claude Mods for customizable harnesses, Projects, Claude Tag, and recent releases such as Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5. He calls prompting the core skill for using Claude Code, recommending that users first spend time filling in context and allocate effort by task—for example, high or maximum for code review and security, and low or medium for UI-type tasks. He also discussed agent security, including sandboxing, prompt injection, Auto Mode, and Anthropic's "Pacing the Frontier" position.

    When Young People No Longer Worship Silicon Valley: A Crisis of Trust in AI Leaders Among America's Younger Generation

    A CNBC and Generation Lab survey of 1,088 Americans aged 18 to 34 found that distrust of nine tech leaders ranged from 65% to 81%, and 45% believed AI would harm their career prospects. Pew data shows that 66% of Americans aged 18 to 29 have already used AI chatbots, but the share of this same group who believe AI will reduce employment rose from 61% in 2024 to 73% in 2026. The author, Chen Yongwei, argues that this wariness stems from narrowing entry points into employment and negative past experiences with digitalization, and advocates letting affected people participate in negotiations over AI rules.

    Why Meta's Muse Alerts Chinese Tech Companies

    On September 8, Meta launched Muse, a consumer-grade personal agent app. It surpassed 902,000 downloads within six days of launch, and ten days later became the top free iPhone app on the U.S. App Store, ahead of ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. Meta's stock rose more than 25% by September 24. Muse is based on Meta's self-developed Muse Spark model and runs in a separate cloud virtual machine for each user. It can access email, Facebook, and Instagram, and uses an independent Sentinel agent to approve networked operations. It is free to use, with additional tiers at $20 and $100 per month. The author believes that Chinese tech companies with end-to-end ecosystems are well positioned to launch their own assistants amid this wave of personal agents, and notes that ByteDance's Doubao team is reportedly rushing to build a similar product.

    The Decline of AI and the Creative Class: US Media, Film and Television, and Arts Industries Lost Over 200,000 Jobs in Four Years

    According to statistics compiled by Apricitas author Joseph Politano, the US creative industries have lost more than 200,000 jobs over the past four years, including about 50,000 in the past year alone; the film, television, and sound recording industry lost more than 100,000 jobs, nearly one-third of that industry's total employment. The article argues that the decline in publishing jobs is a continuation of long-term technological change, while streaming competition and AI-generated content are squeezing the video industry's business model, drawing a parallel to the situation of newspapers, whose jobs fell by nearly 85% under the impact of the internet. The author also notes that 70% of the growth in book sales over the past six years came from an unexpected boost from TikTok, illustrating that the interaction between new technology and the arts business is hard to predict.
