为什么 Anthropic 不做 Personal AI
不久前,9 月 29 日的 OpenAI DevDay 开发者日,舞台上飘出了几个圆滚滚的小气泡。 它们叫 dots,是 OpenAI 最新的个人 agent。每个 dot 跑在 GPT-6 Astra 上,拥有一台独立的云端电脑和浏览器,用户关掉 ChatGPT 之后,它还在后台继续干活。OpenAI 对它的描述是: 「 built to handle everything 」,什么都能接。 三周前的 9 月 8 日, Meta 推出了 Muse,同样有独立的云端虚拟机,同样能在后台持续工作,同样顶着一个萌萌的卡通形象,而且直接住进了 WhatsApp。市场的反馈相当热烈,Apptopia

苹果和 Meta 和好了,是 AI 逼的
没有永远的敌人,只有永远的 AI 焦虑。 10 月 2 日,苹果做了一件很少见的事,因为一个第三方 App,宣布要调整系统规则。 起因是《Inc.》杂志的科技专栏作者 Jason Aten 公开指控,Meta 的 AI 智能体 Muse 在他的 Mac 上读取了私人消息。Muse 是 Meta 力推的「能替你办事」的 Agent,会帮你退订闲置会员,甚至替你砍价。 苹果随即表态, 今后 AI 请求读取 Mac 数据时,系统会主动提示用户 。 这几乎就是苹果和 Meta 过去五年关系的缩影,Meta 想拿数据,苹果出面拦着。 然而仅仅两周后,故事发生了反转。 当地时间 10 月 15 日,Met
