Meta to create a new class of shares to fund AI push The Verge

Oct. 21, 2026, 9:30 p.m.

AI Meta News

Meta says it’s issuing a new class of shares to fund its AI initiatives. As part of its third-quarter earnings report released on Wednesday, the company says the non-voting stock will also go toward potential acquisitions and employee compensation, with trading beginning in 2027. Meta to create a new class of shares to fund AI push Meta says the new class of shares will also fund acquisitions and employee compensation. Meta says the new class of shares will also fund acquisitions and employee compensation. “The scale of investment required to compete, sustain growth, expand infrastructure, and pursue new strategic initiatives amidst the AI transformation taking place in the industry is significant,” Meta says in the press release. Susan Li, Meta’s chief financial officer, added during an earnings call that the new class of shares will “expand our funding tools and give us flexibility to invest behind the unprecedented momentum we’re seeing across every part of our business driven by AI.” Meta has poured billions of dollars into the AI race as it builds (and promotes) sprawling data centers, poaches top talent from other companies like OpenAI, and builds AI models capable of rivaling those from other tech giants. The company expects capital expenditures between $135 billion and $145 billion this year, up from the previous $130 billion and $145 billion estimate. It’s been a busy past few weeks for Meta, which launched its AI agent, Muse, in September. Like other AI agents, Muse can do things like clean out your email inbox, book restaurant reservations, and plan trips. The Muse app shot to the top of app stores shortly after its rollout, and hit 10 million downloads in the US this week. Meta also rolled out its Muse Wonder model this week. Muse’s launch hasn’t come without some snags. Amid concerns about user privacy, a tech YouTuber reported that the agent gave out his address to a stranger on Facebook Marketplace. The company has also had to pause Muse’s conversation-sharing feature after researchers discovered chats publicly available on the web.

Films Ă  la TV

Attention, cet article contient des spoilers sur la fin du tĂ©lĂ©film Harceleurs. Si vous ne l’avez pas encore vu, passez votre chemin ! Dans Harceleurs, fiction diffusĂ©e ce mercredi 21 octobre Ă  partir de 21h10 sur France 2, Virginie Ledoyen campe Camille, une professeure de collĂšge et mĂšre de famille qui va voir sa vie basculer lorsque Dao, l’ami d’enfance de son fils, est hospitalisĂ© aprĂšs une chute mystĂ©rieuse. Alors que la rumeur d’un harcĂšlement enfle, Camille se heurte au silence des Ă©lĂšves et s’enfonce dans une enquĂȘte officieuse. Elle dĂ©couvre que Dao a fait une tentative de suicide Ă  la suite de la diffusion d’une vidĂ©o humiliante. Peu Ă  peu, tous les soupçons convergent vers son fils Mathias (Honorat Bellet). Entre instinct maternel et devoir moral, Camille dĂ©cide de protĂ©ger son enfant, quitte Ă  effacer des preuves de sa culpabilitĂ©. Malheureusement pour elle, la vĂ©ritĂ© finit par Ă©clater, bouleversant irrĂ©mĂ©diablement leur lien et son regard sur son fils. Virginie Ledoyen nous explique la fin de Harceleurs Soucieuses d'ancrer Harceleurs dans le rĂ©el, les scĂ©naristes Nathalie Hugon et Marine Josset ont fait le choix de refuser le piĂšge du “happy end”. La vie reprend tout simplement son cours, mais diffĂ©remment : Camille se met en quĂȘte d'un nouveau travail tandis que Mathias effectue sa rentrĂ©e dans un nouveau collĂšge. Un final en demi-teinte sur lequel Virginie Ledoyen est revenue lors d’une interview avec AlloCinĂ©. “Dans la situation prĂ©sentĂ©e dans Harceleurs, il ne peut pas y avoir de fin heureuse”, nous a-t-elle expliquĂ©. “La vie va continuer pour tous les personnages, mais autrement. On ne peut pas faire de telles choses et s'en sortir sans aucune consĂ©quence. La vie de Mathias est transformĂ©e, elle est bouleversĂ©e et c'est quelque chose avec laquelle il vivra toute sa vie." "C'est pareil pour le personnage de Dao. Il a Ă©tĂ© gravement blessĂ©, aussi bien physiquement que psychologiquement. C'Ă©tait intĂ©ressant que ça ne se termine pas en mode 'ils sont Ă  nouveau copains, bras dessus, bras dessous'. C'est trop grave. Pour se reconstruire, Dao n'a surtout pas besoin de Mathias autour de lui. Bien au contraire. Il a besoin de tourner une autre page et c'est ça que la fin raconte." "Quand il y a des actes comme ceux-lĂ , la vie de tout le monde bascule. Il y a de lourdes consĂ©quences sur tout le monde. D’ailleurs, j'aimerais que ce soit ça que les gens retiennent. J'aimerais qu'ils se projettent dans la peau de tous les personnages. On n'excuse pas la violence. On ne la justifie pas, mais on en montre les consĂ©quences.” Retrouvez Harceleurs ce mercredi 21 octobre Ă  partir de 21h10 sur France 2. Pour les retardataires, la fiction est d’ores et dĂ©jĂ  disponible sur la plateforme france.tv.

New York’s first microdrama film festival searches for its audience The Verge

Oct. 21, 2026, 8:49 p.m.

Creators Entertainment Film

It remains to be seen if people really want to watch vertical content on horizontal TV screens, but many filmmakers and creators were confident that their latest projects would play well at Alza — New York City’s first microdrama film festival. Founded by former Tribeca Festival chief operating officer Pete Torres, Alza, which took place October 16th through 18th, was billed as a showcase for the “the creativity, innovation, and growing cultural impact of stories made for the vertical screen.” The festival featured a selection of microdrama and film premieres as well as industry-focused panels with executives who all seemed to genuinely believe that vertical entertainment is going to be an integral part of the future. New York’s first microdrama film festival searches for its audience At Alza, the entertainment industry is trying to reinvent itself. That proposition felt rather dubious as I sat down in an AMC theater in Manhattan for screenings of director Jerry Bradford’s vertical adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and the original Billionaire’s Broken Vow starring Eric Roberts. Though both of those projects were full-length features, they were filled with jarring jump cuts and abrupt soundtrack changes that reminded me how the films are cut up into short “episodes” for microdrama apps. That wasn’t as much of an issue with shorter series like the romantasy horror Blood Surfer or collections of videos like disability rights activist Lachi Music’s “Glam Struts.” But it was still very strange to see content that was clearly meant to be watched on phones being projected in the center of massive screens in the same theater that’s currently showing Resident Evil, The Social Reckoning, and You Can See Everything. Most fans of vertical videos and microdramas consume them through their mobile devices, but platforms like Instagram and Vurt have been rolling out dedicated smart TV apps that are designed to keep vertical video viewers glued to their couches. The popularity of YouTube — which you can access in so many different ways — has spooked major streaming services like Disney Plus, Netflix, and HBO Max into experimenting with feeds of vertical clips. Alza was filled with people who were confident that they were leading the charge to legitimize vertical content as an art form that’s going to revolutionize the entertainment industry. There’s no denying that some microdramas have been wildly successful, but Alza’s programming left me doubtful that the future is vertical. As odd as I personally found much of what was playing at Alza, it did seem to entertain some of the festival’s other attendees, many of whom were middle-aged women. None of the screenings were packed, but while watching a few steamy, romance-forward dramas, I was surprised to hear peals of laughter and gasps coming from the front of the theater, where festival staffers encouraged people to sit in order to have the best viewing experience. “We’re making content that speaks to mainstream women who are part of this mobile-first movement.” Appealing to female viewers has been one of the primary goals of GammaTime, the microdrama platform founded by former Miramax CEO Bill Block. When I spoke with Block and GammaTime’s head of development, Amy Sullivan, they told me the platform’s library of content has been designed to appeal to viewers and their general moods at different points throughout the entire day. “We’re making content that speaks to mainstream women who are part of this mobile-first movement, who are on their phones in the mornings, the afternoons, at night,” Sullivan explained. “We have easy watches, we have rom-coms, and we have stuff that’s a little spicier — but not too salacious — for perhaps later at night. We’re trying to meet everyone where they are at every time of day.” Block pointed to daytime TV watchers as one demographic that GammaTime has been especially interested in bringing into the fold. Though soap operas are still very popular in the US, their overall ratings have been declining in recent years as people’s attention has been pulled elsewhere. Block insisted that rather than disappearing, traditional daytime TV viewers have been migrating to other sources of entertainment, like on-demand streaming services and social media platforms. “They’re still here, but they’re watching this while they’re pretending to work a little bit at the office,” Block said, referring to people who fire up microdrama apps for a quick hit of fun. “They’re at home, too, but this is the new daytime, the new 5–6PM, and the new 10PM plus.” Block and Sullivan noted how, even when overall production costs are kept low, operating as a successful studio is still very expensive. It takes a lot of money to reach different demographics of potential viewers while maintaining various ad partnerships, which is why GammaTime has outsourced much of its marketing efforts overseas. “We’ve got an edge in Tel Aviv, and I would honestly say the brains of the operation is our partner Slava Mudrykh and his customer acquisition, AI, and marketing teams,” Block said. “Because this is all Instagram and TikTok — that’s where you’re acquiring [new users.]” “There’s so much nebulosity in this space, and it just seems like a lot of times, nobody actually watches the stuff they’re making.” Microdramas are often characterized by AI-generated special effects and melodramatic soap opera energy, and I saw plenty of both from many of the projects I screened during Alza. As more companies try to build a presence for microdramas in the West, it is still somewhat hard to imagine this kind of content taking off the way it has in China. Even though Salvador Paskowitz — who cowrote The Age of Adaline — won Alza’s best director award with his 90-minute comedy Layover, he expressed some skepticism about verticals / microdramas’ potential to be a lifeline for filmmakers and actors who have been struggling to find production work in Los Angeles. In Paskowitz’s view, this kind of entertainment has stopped being a viable way for production workers to build careers because of the sudden influx of generative AI. “Companies like ReelShort and DramaBox were kind of the first wave of these newer verticals, but because they’ve gone so crazy with AI, I think of them like cruise ships that have run themselves aground,” Paskowitz told me. “Now there are a lot of American companies that smell an opportunity, but there’s so much nebulosity in this space, and it just seems like a lot of times, nobody actually watches the stuff they’re making.” Paskowitz believes that filmmakers owe it to their audiences and the brands that they work with to put out projects that actually look good. He also thinks that because studios that want to become the “HBO of verticals” now have an “AI slop button to press,” they’re losing sight of what people really want to watch. Paskowitz was adamant that using gen AI in any capacity for film production is a slippery slope that can quickly lead to the erasure of the human element. That, he said, is why Layover was produced traditionally. “I’m even against doing hybrid productions because it’s easy to start cutting corners, and the public is going to see,” Paskowitz explained. “That idea sends chills through my body because it starts with ‘Let’s replace that tree, let’s replace all these buildings, let’s replace all the background work.’ And then at some point, it’s ‘Look, we’ve come so far. Let’s just replace all the actors.” Something that struck me as the festival continued was how — while some projects featured AI elements — the vast majority of them starred human actors who all seemed very proud of their work and excited to share it with the public. These microdramas might not win any awards outside of Alza, but there are real people making them. That might also be why I was so surprised to hear Block jokingly say that the rise of vertical content “is all part of the decline of the West.” After our interview, Block and Sullivan repeatedly stressed that he wasn’t being serious, which may be true given the line of work they’re in. But even if Block was just kidding, his words stuck with me because it feels like there may be some truth to the idea of decline. Verticals / microdrama production has become a multibillion-dollar industry because we live in a society that encourages us to engage with almost every aspect of our lives through the tiny screens that stay in our pockets. It’s no surprise that Hollywood sees vertical microdramas as the next big thing. But their cheesiness, lackluster production values, and formulaic stories don’t exactly make them feel ready for the red carpet treatment. Additional reporting by Andru Marino.

Meta had to shell out $9.89 billion to pay for a chunk of the child safety settlement it reached with US attorneys general.

Meta’s third-quarter earnings report shows it spent $9.89 billion paying for its settlement with US attorney generals. In August, Meta agreed to pay $17.1 billion to settle a massive nationwide lawsuit that claimed the company harmed children by making its social media platforms “addictive” by design. It will also only pay $5.3 billion of this amount if YouTube and TikTok implement stricter settings and safeguards for kids, which Meta also agreed to as part of the settlement. Meta’s total costs and expenses amounted to $51.61 billion, including the amount it agreed to pay as part of the settlement. The company may have even bigger litigation costs in its future, as a New Mexico court ordered Meta to pay $25 billion over the Cambridge Analytica scandal on Wednesday. Even with the fees associated with its legal battles, Meta reported earning $64.60 billion in revenue, marking a 26 percent increase from the same time last year. “We hit major milestones this quarter toward delivering personal superintelligence for everyone,” Meta CEO Zuckerberg says in the press release. “Our investments are paying off, the core business is strong, and we’re seeing velocity across the board.” Developing

PHP: The three letters that shut down sites all over the internet today The Verge

Oct. 21, 2026, 8:36 p.m.

News Security Tech

Two bugs found with AI are behind major issues today for 4chan, DeviantArt, Wikipedia, and the blog where the bar around the corner posts pictures of people’s dogs. The “critical vulnerabilities” were discovered in the PHP programming language, which underpins much of the internet, including any site built on WordPress. But it’s far bigger than that. Some Dutch and Finnish government agencies took their sites down as a precaution. The NSA Cybersecurity account on X recommended that organizations take their systems offline if “an immediate update is not feasible,” as did the UK’s National Cyber Security Center. Even PokĂ©mon Home and PokĂ©mon Champions were taken offline, Kotaku reports. PHP: The three letters that shut down sites all over the internet today OpenAI is taking credit for finding the PHP2Shell vulnerabilities, but now someone has to apply all these patches, OpenAI is taking credit for finding the PHP2Shell vulnerabilities, but now someone has to apply all these patches, The vulnerability isn’t exactly new. It’s been present in PHP for roughly 20 years, but exploiting it “required an exceptionally complex chain of steps, at the edge of what human researchers could practically achieve,” according to security firm Wiz. However, powerful AI models have made it much easier to turn that kind of obscure bug into dangerous vulnerabilities. As a casual internet user, you might be wondering what exactly the barrage of jargon like “RCE via OOM corruption” means, how concerned you should be, and how exactly a vulnerability this severe flew under the radar for so long. What is PHP? W3Techs, a survey service, says that the PHP programming language is used by “69.3 percent of all the websites whose server-side programming language we know,” including popular sites like Wikipedia and WordPress. The internet security site VirusTotal says its scanner currently registers about 3.8 million sites running PHP with at least one port open. What happened? According to OpenAI, an AI security group called Calif identified a “critical” PHP flaw using GPT-5.6 Sol, and Google-owned Wiz independently discovered and reported the vulnerabilities using AI. The PHP Foundation says that an exploit for one of the vulnerabilities “was theorized” in 2024, but “no concrete vectors were found and other concrete issues with clear impact overshadowed these concerns.” Now the PHP Group says hackers could use the two vulnerabilities for “unauthenticated remote code execution,” like running their own code, changing content, and accessing a site’s stored data without needing an administrator login or password. RCE via OOM corruption, CVE-2026-109618 (GHSA-w8hw-w9fx-j79w): out-of-memory handling can interrupt PHP while internal request data is only partially initialized. Request cleanup may then treat the invalid data as valid. RCE via stale global state, CVE-2026-109619 (GHSA-6wmf-4rv5-p3rp): request-owned internal state can survive after its backing memory has been freed. A later request handled by the same worker may use that stale state before normal initialization resets it. How serious is it? Very. The PHP Group says that basically any site running PHP is at risk. OpenAI, which was involved in the vulnerability research, said: “We consider this one of the most impactful security issues in recent memory.” And Wiz said it’s “among the most severe vulnerabilities discovered 
 in software history.” Last night, the CTO of Cloudflare said that it was “seeing early attacks emerging.” It’s hard to understate just how bad this could get. The vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to take full control of a server. That includes gaining access to passwords, API keys, cryptographic certificates, and databases of sensitive information. They could also execute code on those servers, turning them into vectors to attack other vulnerable servers. And, thanks to AI, it’s relatively trivial for a determined hacker to exploit these flaws now that they have been revealed. What can I do? As a user, not much. The vulnerability affects servers running PHP and doesn’t necessarily target users directly, but it could use compromised sites to spread malware and steal other valuable data. If you’re feeling extra cautious, check the social accounts of sites and services you frequently use to see if they’ve posted any updates before visiting. If you have a website, even a simple blog, it’s time to check what version of PHP your site uses, if any. If you’re using a service like Squarespace or Wix, you’re in the clear, as those don’t support PHP. Customers of Hostinger, GoDaddy, Bluehost, or other web hosting services should be more cautious. GoDaddy says that any site using PHP should assume it is affected and update to the fixed release as soon as possible. It also says that sites running PHP 8.1 or older should upgrade to a newer version, as they’re no longer supported and there will not be an official fix coming. Those on a managed hosting service should check with their provider to see when they should expect the fix to be deployed. If you sell products or services or have any sensitive data on your servers at all, it’s best to disable your site until your host patches their version of PHP.

Flying Roadsters can’t lift Tesla’s flat Q3 revenues The Verge

Electric Cars Elon Musk Tech

As the smoke clears from its outrageous Roadster demo, Tesla reported Q3 earnings on Wednesday — and the cold reality is that revenue has flatlined. Flying Roadsters can’t lift Tesla’s flat Q3 revenues Flat revenue and a 4 percent profit drop show that no amount of rocket thrusters can disguise Tesla’s troubles. Flat revenue and a 4 percent profit drop show that no amount of rocket thrusters can disguise Tesla’s troubles. Tesla said it earned $1.7 billion in net income on $28.0 billion in revenue in the quarter that ended in September 2026. Revenues were flat, while profits dropped 4 percent compared to the third quarter of 2025, when the company earned $1.4 billion in net income on $28.1 billion in revenue. Tesla’s revenue came in above Wall Street expectations of $27.9 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. Tesla’s own company-compiled expectations predicted Q3 revenues of $28.3 billion. The earnings come on the heels of a disappointing Q3 sales report, in which Tesla reported a 2.1 percent drop in customer deliveries compared to the blockbuster third quarter of 2025. (For a direct-to-consumer company like Tesla, deliveries are a proxy for sales.) The drop in sales was widely expected thanks to the expiration of the $7,500 federal tax credit for electric vehicles on September 30, 2025. Elon Musk himself said that the company was in for “a few rough quarters” thanks to the expiring incentive and other macroeconomic factors. But the possibility of a Tesla-SpaceX merger gained new momentum after Musk’s revelation this week that the two companies had formed special committees to discuss the possibility. Musk said a merger would be a “good idea,” even though he claimed he wouldn’t be involved in the process. Beyond merger talks, this past quarter also saw the highly anticipated re-reveal of the next-generation Tesla Roadster, nine years after it was initially announced. The demo in Waco, Texas, featured a redesigned two-seat prototype flying and flipping through the air using cold-gas thrusters provided by SpaceX. While the event generated its own cottage industry of online reactions, it did little to asauge skeptics that the vehicle would actually go into production in 2028, as promised. Developing

Bose announced today it has acquired Skullcandy. Although the two companies are competitors in the consumer audio space, Skullcandy recently partnered with its new owner to bring several of Bose’s audio technologies — including its head-tracking spatial audio and excellent active noise cancellation (ANC) — to products like the Skullcandy Crusher 1080 ANC headphones and Method 360 ANC earbuds. Bose acquires Skullcandy to help it reach a wider audience Bose will leverage Skullcandy’s designs and branding to help the company reach new demographics. Bose will leverage Skullcandy’s designs and branding to help the company reach new demographics. Specific details about the deal weren’t shared, but according to a news release, Bose plans to keep Skullcandy a separate brand that will become part of its premium consumer audio business. Skullcandy will remain based in Park City, Utah, where it was founded. The acquisition will help Bose expand the reach of its audio technologies, including its industry-leading noise cancellation, to a wider audience. “For more than 60 years, Bose has been committed to delivering incredible audio experiences however and wherever people choose to listen. As we work to reach even more people, we’re expanding how we do that, not only through Bose products, but through technology partnerships and a growing portfolio of brands,” Bose CEO Lila Snyder says. Founded in 2003, Skullcandy hasn’t been around for as long as Bose has, but the company’s distinct product designs and branding that includes “longstanding relationships” with board sports athletes will “present new ways for Bose to meaningfully connect with consumers where it has less presence today,” according to today’s release. Bose’s products are a staple among people who regularly fly and travel for work, but Skullcandy will help the company’s products appeal to consumers who don’t necessarily prioritize the effectiveness of ANC on their headphones. In 2024, Bose acquired the high-end audio brand McIntosh and its subsidiary Sonus faber, and this year it acquired StreamUnlimited Engineering and FMOD-maker Firelight Technologies. Bose also announced last June it had created an in-house content studio called Bose Studios, as well as its own record label, Bose Records.

Checking out of your next Airbnb might be less of a hassle now that the company is banning hosts from including time-consuming chores in their house rules. Airbnb’s updated house rules policy, which starts with reservations booked on or after November 20th, says hosts can’t ask guests to “complete tasks that require significant effort or time, or would typically be performed by a cleaner.” According to Airbnb, that includes: Airbnb bans making guests do dishes and take out the trash Airbnb’s new rules limit hosts to ‘reasonable’ requests like putting dirty dishes in the sink. Airbnb’s new rules limit hosts to ‘reasonable’ requests like putting dirty dishes in the sink. - Dishes: Guests shouldn’t be asked to wash and put away dishes, but you can ask them to put used dishes in the sink. - Laundry: Guests shouldn’t be asked to remove sheets from the bed or start a load of laundry, but you can ask them to gather used towels. - Trash: Guests shouldn’t be asked to take garbage off-site, but you can ask them to separate their trash and recycling into designated indoor bins. - Utilities: Guests shouldn’t be asked to avoid using a listed amenity like air conditioning, but you can ask them to turn it off when they leave. Airbnb is displaying hosts’ requests more prominently now in a new “rules and requests” section on listings. You might see an “includes cleaning requests” warning if a host leaves chore requests in their listing after the new policy goes into effect. Hosts aren’t allowed to sneak in extra rules in messages to guests or on signs around their property, either. Some hosts pushed back on the house rules restrictions on Airbnb’s forums, saying they pose health risks and arguing that guests can simply choose not to stay at listings with overly-strict rules. Airbnb says there can be exceptions to the limits on checkout chores, like asking guests to “dispose of trash in an animal-proof container in bear country.”

Claude Duet is Anthropic’s new agent for professionals and small business owners, and it’s launching as a research preview. The AI agent is built around Claude Opus 5.5. Here’s Anthropic’s description of what it can do: Each morning, it sends you a short brief on the most important items across your connected apps. Throughout the day, it keeps tabs on those apps and messages you only when something needs your attention. You can also hand it tasks of all shapes—from simple administrative tasks of scheduling meetings to more complex ones, such as building dashboards with dozens of tools, creating financial or sales forecasts, prototyping, and building web apps. Claude Duet pulls in memory, skills, and connected apps from Claude, and it has a virtual machine with a browser that it can use for completing work. Before any big step, like sending a payment or deleting something, Claude Duet messages you for approval. Given that Duet may be taking action on sensitive information, it has a new “new dedicated classifier and safety system prompt” that are “designed to reject requests to share the strictest tier of information,” such as credit card numbers. Anthropic says Claude Duet is currently an “early version” and that it “still might misread a thread or miscalibrate what’s urgent.” It’s also not “as strong” at personal errands like booking tickets. If you want to try Claude Duet, you can get on the waitlist, though you’ll need to be a Pro or Max subscriber in the US to use it.

Apple just revealed a new brand identity for Apple Music, with the expected turn to Liquid Glass. I’m not much of a fan of their new design language in general; this is where I admit that I’m still running MacOS Sequoia and have grumpy things to say about rounded corner radii and text legibility. It’s just a trend, it will pass, and at some point I’ll probably cave and upgrade when it starts actually affecting my ability to get work done, or more importantly get security updates. Once I adjust, I’ll stop noticing it, and life will go on. As such, I wouldn’t normally find an obvious rebrand like this notable, much less feel like I had much to say about it. But then I happened to catch Apple’s behind-the-scenes video in my YouTube recommendations, and I realized I did have thoughts. It’s a short clip, respecting your time at just a little over a minute long if you want to watch for yourself. Let’s get the obvious part out of the way: It’s pretty peak Apple. More than a little pretentious, with all the resources a $5 trillion market cap can bring to bear on every problem. There’s a design agency (TBWA/Media Arts Lab), a pop hitmaker music producer (Fred again.. and yes, that’s how you spell it), a whole crewed set with cameras and lighting, and a mineral oil tank equipped with a transducer to effectively transmit audio signals into physical ripples. They shot a ton of footage of the oil (chosen for its higher viscosity) interacting with the branding printed on transparent panels. Fast Company has a nice detailed breakdown of the technical aspects if you want to dig in more.

Walmart will soon let AI agents shop on its website for you. Next month, the retail giant will allow you to connect your own AI agent to the site, with systems in place to let you approve and review purchases and set spending limits. Walmart is inviting AI agents to shop for you While Amazon shuts out AI agents, Walmart is letting them in. While Amazon shuts out AI agents, Walmart is letting them in. The embrace of AI agents stands in stark contrast to Amazon, which blocked Perplexity’s shopping agent and Meta’s Muse AI assistant. But Walmart is opening its doors to AI shoppers — as long as they follow the retailer’s rules. It has outlined a set of terms for agents, saying that “agents must not take actions beyond what the shopper intends” and cannot change a customer’s payment method. Agents also can only access information needed to complete their task. Walmart says it will block agents that don’t follow these terms. Agents will connect to new “Agent Profiles” within Walmart. By default, Walmart will require approval for all AI agent purchases, but you can also let it shop within a certain budget, such as up to $100. You’ll also be able to review your agent’s purchases separately from your own in Agent Profiles, as well as turn off the agent at any time. The retailer has built an “Agent Gateway” that connects AI agents through the Model Context Protocol, an open standard that allows AI agents to plug into different services on the web. Walmart says this not only enables AI agents to shop without running into hiccups that they might encounter when navigating a browser, but also prevents them from accessing your shopping history and personal information. “For example, if a customer tends to buy sourdough bread or a particular brand of milk, Walmart will help the agent find those usual items for the customer without sharing the customer’s broader shopping history with the agent,” Walmart says. The company will let users shop with AI agents on Sam’s Club as well.
