What’s inside: • ChatGPT has quietly become a shopping assistant — a personal buyers’ guide on demand — and it only recommends stores it can find. • Meta’s Muse wants to be your A-I employee — it now plugs into Shopify, QuickBooks, Canva and more for small business. • McDonald’s is in federal court over alleged A-I menu price-fixing, and the franchise model is at the center of the fight. • Andrej Karpathy says there’s a growing gap between what people believe A-I can do and what it actually delivers — and most of us are judging last generation’s models. • Quick hits: Meta, Walmart and Stripe pitch an open standard for A-I agents; ads arrive in ChatGPT; Chinese models close in on the U-S frontier.
