On September 9th, Meta Platforms (META.O) launched Muse, a personal AI agent application that allows users to delegate digital tasks such as making appointments, filling out forms, and monitoring home cameras to an AI assistant. Alexander Wang, head of Meta AI, stated that Muse is powered by Metas Muse Spark series of underlying models and offers a free version as well as subscription services at $20 and $100 per month. He explained that Muse runs in an isolated environment within Metas computing infrastructure, does not read users actual passwords or payment information, and requests confirmation before performing sensitive operations. Users can choose whether to allow Meta to use their interactions with Muse to train AI models; if allowed, Meta will remove critical personally identifiable information before using it for model improvement. This product launch comes as Meta faces pressure regarding AI security, privacy, and ROI. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg previously stated that personal AI agents will be a key driver of the companys future product and revenue growth. Meta also stated that it is exploring business models related to AI agent-based shopping transactions.According to Israeli journalist i24, The Jerusalem Post has learned that the United States is currently attacking Iranian oil tankers.The UK National Air Traffic Control: Our system issue has now been resolved and we are operating normally.

On Monday, cryptocurrency prices hit new lows as a result of regulatory worries and a general investor reluctance to engage in risky assets due to impending interest rate increases.


By market value, Bitcoin, the most valuable cryptocurrency, dropped almost 5% to a three-month low of $18,387.


The second-largest cryptocurrency, ethereum, lost 3% to a two-month low of $1,285 and had lost more than 10% in the previous day. The majority of the smaller tokens had larger losses.


Over the weekend, a significant update to the Ethereum blockchain—which supports the ether token—called the Merge changed how transactions are handled and reduced energy consumption.


The value of the token has decreased amid rumors that comments made last week by Gary Gensler, chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, suggested the new structure would draw further regulation. The upgrades' surrounding trades were likewise unwound.


The regulatory outlook is guesswork, according to Matthew Dibb, COO of Singapore's Stack Funds cryptocurrency platform.


Since the Merge, the markets have shed a lot of their excitement, he said. Given the uneasy global background, he said, "It's truly been a sell-the-news sort of event," and predicted that ether will test $950 in the near future.


"From a basic and technological standpoint, the current situation does not appear promising. There isn't a clear quick positive trigger that will support these markets and inject a ton of fresh cash and liquidity, in our opinion.
