  "account": "During Meta's annual event, CEO Mark Zuckerberg mocked Apple, echoing Steve Jobs' approach, before unveiling a compact device, the Muse Charm. This gadget enables users to interact with Meta's popular Muse AI agent directly, free from smartphone AI apps. The shift in Meta's focus from the once-promoted metaverse to personal superintelligence is evident. Zuckerberg believes Muse will be more significant and crucial than the metaverse, which failed to materialize as predicted. Muse Charm is expected to cater to younger consumers, particularly Gen Z, who view AI assistants as companions and use them for various tasks. The device boasts a small screen and a 5G modem for uninterrupted access, making it appealing to those who might not favor glasses or trust them. However, the success of Muse Charm and its ability to outshine other devices like Rabbit R1 remain uncertain.",
