Meta’s Muse is blocked at Schwab. Its CEO asks who’s liable if an agent moves money. When an AI agent makes a mistake, causes financial harm, exposes private information or breaks the law, who's responsible? The answer isn't complicated. AI agents aren't legal persons. They're software created, configured, authorised and deployed by people and companies. US law has recognised autonomous software since 2000. The federal E-SIGN Act explicitly defines an "electronic agent" as software capable of acting without human approval at the time of each action. The law recognises transactions conducted through automated systems. If a company gives an AI agent access to confidential information, financial accounts or computer systems, that company remains responsible for the decisions it made about access, permissions, security controls and supervision. Whether it must compensate someone depends on the applicable law, contracts and circumstances. If an agent transfers money without authorisation, accesses confidential records or attacks another company's infrastructure, investigators should examine who configured it, what instructions it received, what permissions it had, who authorised those permissions and what its activity logs show. Schwab can't blame an agent for acting independently, any more than they can blame an Excel macro. The difference between an AI agent making a mistake and a company being legally liable for that mistake is important. But neither changes who's responsible for deploying the software.

Pep Guardiola: “We are living through a very dark time in our history. We see girls and boys in Gaza searching for their parents among the rubble. Ask for help. Suffering from hunger. To be left alone. We watch them lose everything before they’ve even had a chance to grow up. And the hell continues, and with it, the dehumanisation of the Palestinian people. Their lives matter as much as ours. Their pain is not unfamiliar. Let’s not forget. Solidarity with Palestine cannot take a break. Neither can our responsibility…” 🎥 @UNRWAes

Retail platforms didn’t spend decades building walls just so your AI agent could walk through them.

Anthropic's annualized revenue run rate was just leaked, showing it peaked back in July 2026. That month sounds familiar doesn't it? 🤨 That's exactly when the psyop Jacob Coxon was deployed across all mainstream media, scaring everyone that AI would destroy the world. Now we know why AI companies are panicking. Their revenue has peaked but their costs keep rising. They've run out of funding because flat revenue = no more "investment" loans, yet their cash burn rate is still skrocketing. They need a taxpayer bailout to continue spending a.k.a. "regulation".

WordCraft is a new open-source word processor written in Rust that aims to replicate Microsoft Word and supports .docx files. → It includes styles, track changes, comments, citations, tables of contents and mail merge → It runs on macOS, Windows and Linux, and in a web browser → An included MCP server lets AI agents such as Claude Code control the app → The developers say it is not yet at alpha stage github.com/storytold/wordcra…

Paul’s right that agents matter.. but Amazon already took product search from Google and runs +350 FCs plus a vast logistics network serving >12B units/year. Prime’s scale and reliability are the moat no retailer can close anytime soon.. def not Walmart. Users aren’t ditching Prime for an external agent anytime soon.

Faisal Masud, President at @HP, on The Product Podcast: "If you lack ideas and you're relying heavily on AI for everything, you're not really going to be that important." He also thinks AI is making extra layers of management unnecessary.The future manager manages agents, not people. And has to know far more than how to manage.

In a completely unsurprising turn of events, Meta's Muse AI is stealing Apple Messages, past and present, and uploading the contents to its cloud, even if explicitly told not to. By @Amber_M_Neely appleinsider.com/articles/26…

10 minutes of TikTok was enough to impair people’s ability to remember and carry out intentions. Twitter and YouTube didn’t show the same decline. Rapid context-switching may be where most of cognitive cost is.

SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI are worth more than every U.S. tech IPO of the past 45 years combined.

Costco’s Kirkland brand revenue in 2025 was $90b — more than the global revenue of Nike.
