Some thoughts I had recently about where the AI market is currently at. The crazy part is how fast the market is continuously evolving and changing. What was true yesterday might not be true today. Seeing this with products like Muse and Instinct and how fast adoption continues to be in the bubble. But when going outside of the bubble I still talk to many people who have not yet used these tools yet at all. Adoption for the broader market is still very very low. Have you personally paid for any AI tool yet?

Meta's Muse is less than a month old and people have stopped chatting with AI and started handing it chores. 5 million US downloads in 22 days. Bills negotiated, forgotten subscriptions killed, doctor appointments grabbed off a waitlist, and now a version built for small businesses that plugs into Shopify, QuickBooks and Slack. It still makes mistakes, and you should know what you're giving it access to. But the shift is real: the AI that finishes the task beats the one that explains it. What would you hand off first?

Meta Connect 2026 was Zuck's most packed keynote in years. VR glasses that weigh about 100 grams. Ray-Bans with no camera at all. Glasses that double as a hearing aid. An AI agent that uses your Mac, gets its own email address, and takes a cut when it shops for you. And to close the night, a keychain. Every announcement, with prices and ship dates, is in the slides. Which one would you actually buy? Follow @rossfledderjohn for more AI related news

Meta's AI agent Muse just got a lot more useful. It's getting its own email address. It now plugs into Walmart, Best Buy, Sephora, GitHub and Notion. It can use your Mac while you walk away. And developers sent in 2,000+ connectors in just a few days. Oh, and it's free. Meta plans to make money by taking a small cut of what you buy. The catch: Amazon already blocked it. Would you let an AI agent shop for you? Follow @rossfledderjohn for more AI related news

Meta's new AI app is better than I expected, and it's not because of the model. Muse can search Instagram. ChatGPT and Claude can't. Ask it for a new bar in your area and it reads what creators are saying about each place, pulls up the actual reels, and adds them to a reservation check it's already running. For most people, that's more useful than another Google Search replacement. Most people ask it one lazy question and decide it's mid. The difference is pointing it at your own saves, comments, DMs and posts. Comment "MUSE" and I'll send you my free guide of copy-and-paste prompts to get the most out of it.

Anthropic just dropped Claude Opus 5.5, and the price went down, not up. $4 per million input tokens. $20 per million output. That's 20% cheaper than Opus 5, on a model that tops Artificial Analysis's Intelligence Index. A year ago Opus cost $75 per million output tokens. Today it's $20. It also beats Anthropic's own Fable 5.1 on Terminal-Bench for 40% of the price, and uses way fewer tokens per task. AI keeps getting smarter and cheaper at the same time. If you've been waiting for the right moment to build with it, this is it. Follow @rossfledderjohn for more AI related news
