Everyone is starting to visualize whether Google Search will become completely irrelevant because Meta Muse looks like a copilot for life. That definitely is going to happen." > **— Dave Blundin**, *MOONSHOTS Live, September 25, 2026* [[reminders/AI Economy/Consumer AI Can Reprice Entire Industries Before Replacing Them by Dave Blundin|Consumer AI Can Reprice Entire Industries Before Replacing Them by Dave Blundin]] > "People forget that Meta touches 3.8 billion people. That level of connectivity to an end customer is a massive advantage because it allows a company to push a product very quickly." > **— Peter Diamandis**, *MOONSHOTS Live, September 25, 2026* [[reminders/AI Economy/Distribution to Billions Is a Strategic AI Advantage by Peter Diamandis|Distribution to Billions Is a Strategic AI Advantage by Peter Diamandis]] > "Meta needs Muse to work. Muse is Meta’s primary distribution play for leveraging its existing channels. Meta is using Instagram to cross-promote Muse because it needs a distribution play for AI; otherwise, it risks oblivion and irrelevance. In the future, Instagram and the family of apps will become less relevant because the content will be synthetic. Meta must use its existing app beachhead to move everyone onto its own computer-use agent." > **— Alexander Wissner-Gross**, *MOONSHOTS Live, September 25, 2026* [[reminders/AI Economy/Existing Platforms Are Beachheads for Agent Distribution by Alexander Wissner-Gross|Existing Platforms Are Beachheads for Agent Distribution by Alexander Wissner-Gross]] > "Meta Muse can personally book your flights, order your food, manage your calendar, and do your shopping. It reached number one in the App Store with 2.8 million downloads, becoming the fastest-growing consumer AI product and surpassing even ChatGPT at launch." > **— Peter Diamandis**, *MOONSHOTS Live, September 25, 2026* [[reminders/Agentic AI/Meta Muse Became the Fastest-Growing Consumer AI Product by Peter Diamandis|Meta Muse Became the Fastest-Growing Consumer AI Product by Peter Diamandis]] > "There is now a fork between consumer AI, which is insanely valuable and will completely replace search and other ways people interact with the internet, and recursively self-improving strong AI, which we benchmark relentlessly. The model that crushes the benchmarks is distinct from Meta Muse, which does not have to be the most intelligent model to be the most useful in day-to-day life." > **— Dave Blundin**, *MOONSHOTS Live, September 25, 2026* [[reminders/Agentic AI/The Most Useful Consumer AI Need Not Be the Smartest by Dave Blundin|The Most Useful Consumer AI Need Not Be the Smartest by Dave Blundin]]
