the *private* ig story is a nod to lucy dacus' reaction to a boygenius song being included in obama's 2023 summer playlist, which went viral & became a widely referenced meme. but of course if you explain that, this story sounds a lot less salacious

I think China's second DeepSeek moment is here. This AI agent called 'Manus' is going crazy viral in China right now. Probably only a matter of time until it hits the US. It's like Deep Research + Operator + Claude Computer combined, and it's REALLY good.

It's important to me that this Labour goverment improves your life and your community in ways you actually notice. Al has enormous potential to do that. While the Tories stifled growth and innovation, my government will use Al to turbocharge our Plan for Change.

More than 1 million people downloaded Codex App in the first week. 60+% growth in overall Codex user last week! We'll keep Codex available to Free/Go users after this promotion; we may have to reduce limits there but we want everyone to be able to try Codex and start building.

It's not my data. The source is Cluvio, which is linked to in the article. I'd link to it in this tweet, but ironically, that would kill engagement. And I know that traffic is hard to count. Especially for a private company. But if you have more accurate data, then publish it.
