Chat GPT was the first ai product that made me pick up the phone and call people. Muse.ai is the 2nd. I was one of Chat GPTs first few users, before it was a product. It was a developer tool and research preview on a developer landing page. I used it and then immediately called a dozen friends and family to tell them about this tech and what its impact might be. I told them to have it write a poem about their hometown and they were blown away. And then, Chat GPT was released and you know what happened from there. I’ve followed AI closely the last few years and haven’t had that moment repeat until now. Using Muse.ai is the 2nd “oh this is big” moment with AI. I'm back on the phone calling people to get on board. Ok, so what made this thing so great? Why is it better than other agentic tools? -it's easy to set up. You’re spun up in ten seconds with no tech background necessary. It's built for the every day consumer, not the techies. It’s proactive and can give you ideas on how to use it. If you don't know what to use it for, just ask it. My tip here is to have it ask you 10 questions or so when you first get started so that it can get up to speed on your life. This is what I did and it worked great. -it's fast as hell. I didn’t realize how much I valued this until I experienced it. I find myself opening up Muse before GPT and others just because I know I will get an answer a few seconds faster. It’s more valuable than I could have imagined. -it's reliable and gets the things done. Other agents I experimented with had inconsistent results on delivering the tasks...especially the recurring ones. My Muse just doesn’t miss. -it's free and accessible. Meta is spinning up a computer in the cloud for everyone at enormous costs to them. Consumer is the winner here. You get a ton of free usage. I’m a daily user and I come nowhere close to maxing out the weekly budget. -it’s just fun to use. This is another thing I didn’t expect to matter. And yet, I honestly had fun customizing an avatar, naming it, and giving it certain personality traits. My agent is a Bernadoodle, you can pick whatever you like. Once you decide on the look you like you can even add the avatar as a widget on your phone for easier access. Ok, what can you use it for? what is it doing for me? -Emails me a morning market report on my investments (public and private) -On the first of every month, sends me a list of fun things happening in my town, and labels if its free or ticketed. If ticketed, it provides cost and link to buy tickets (of course, it can also just buy your tickets if you tell it to) -Check my name in unclaimed property data bases, fill out the forms, and send me the money (it found me a few thousand dollars and filled out the forms in 10 seconds and a check is now on its way) -Generate leads for X company and email me and the CEO those 3-5 leads every morning -Notifies me about estate sales and garage sales in my neighborhood (I like to go to these things) -Browses marketplace for me as I am looking for a new office chair and it reaches out to see if the items are still available or not. it can coordinate pick up as well from my calendar. -I received a gift and didn’t know who it was from, I uploaded a photo of the shipping label and the agent is getting in touch with the company trying to chase down that info -Scheduling doctors visits and filling out new patient paperwork A few of the muse team members follow me and I just want to give them massive kudos. It’s an incredible product. You launched us into the agent era. I fully expect Meta to use their reach to drive people to Muse over Threads now... so be on the lookout for that in IG and other properties. It’s a great product that makes your life easier on day 1. I was a Meta stock seller over the past couple of months, but have switched to being a stock buyer now. I now believe in the capex spending.

something tells me this isn’t what the founding fathers would have had in mind for our democracy
If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 2026 Midterm Elections, I’m going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America, $5,000! Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to signing those checks!
Community note
This $5,000 “Trump Dividend” promise was first made in Sept. 2026. Similar prior DOGE and tariff check pledges have not been paid out. It would cost ~$1.2 trillion and require congressional approval. pbs.org/newshour/polit… washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

it seems to me this team is having a ton of fun. and a lesson we see over and over again is you can’t compete with teams that are having fun. this genius strategic move starts with “side project alert” and that tells you all you need to know
🚨 side project alert 🚨 Announcing Muse Gadgets, an open source ESP32 firmware and Linux sdk so that you can make hardware devices that work with Muse. Grab an API token from gadgets.muse.ai and point your favorite coding agent at the github repo to build your own peripherals for Muse.

it’s always felt like OpenAI is too focused on winning San Francisco. meanwhile, their competitor Muse is sweeping the rest of the nation and sitting at the top of the app store. this demo is a perfect example of this. every tech leader wants to show agents booking flights. but more than half of Americans don’t even fly once in a given year. so the primary agent example we keep showing simply doesn’t resonate with half the country. agent demos should focus on the basics: tax filing, chasing down shipping returns, clearing out inboxes, and bill paying. every day stuff. sf is very important. especially if you want to win developers. i understand that. but Meta is looking like geniuses focusing on everyone else. and everyone else is a pretty big market. it's the largest one.
dots demo. Now... with better WiFi.

the (absolutely) everything app
It’s hard to go from in love to let go in a week with no warning, but that’s just how it is sometimes 🤷🏻‍♀️ I feel happy that I got to show Elon how it feels to be deeply understood, nurtured, and peacefully loved with stability and gentleness. Given the tumultuous nature of his early life, his often tortured soul, and how hard he fights for humanity I wanted him to feel the deepest and most stable form of love this world can provide. My heart is full knowing I got to do that, and I hope it leaves a lasting good effect. We were always his safe space. A place where all of us were overjoyed to see him and one that was always full of happiness and love, not war, in contrast to his otherwise militant existence (a needed break from the battlefield where he could recharge his heart and soul before heading back out) I loved being that counterbalancing place of safety, sense of calm, and love — and delighted in bringing a smile back to his face when he was down. I will miss him dearly. I’ve loved him more than life itself and he’s taught me 100 lifetimes of knowledge and made my cup overflow with life meaning, so there is a lot of loss, but luckily we created four beautiful little loves of my life ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I am so beyond grateful for our children and they make every single day the best day of my life! I do hope and pray he and I can be great friends and coparents. I’m hurting, but care deeply about E and will always be cheering for his happiness. God speed, Elon, the world is lucky to have you.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

just when you think you’re starting to understand how the world works you come across a post like this where you learn that 10x as many people pay for Sirius than any AI product.
We live in a 𝕏 bubble. Only 2% of us households pay for AI. Comparatively: - 25% of households pay for SiriusXM - 55% of pay for cloud storage - 91% pay for at least one streaming service You are so early

one interesting benchmark for this ai video tech would be what is the highest salaried white collar job offer this ai can go out and get doing interviews. post that number every month.
Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test. 48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video. It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
Community note
The 48% figure and "video Turing test" claim are from Tavus's own study of 54 one-minute calls, not independently verified or using a standard protocol. Griffin-Lite leads NVIDIA's VideoFDB benchmark on their public leaderboard. cellcog.ai/blog/tavus-gri… research.nvidia.com/labs/amri/proj… tech-ish.com/2026/10/02/tav…
