Meta Just Launched Muse for Small Business — an AI Assistant You Name and Put to Work

Image
Meta wants your small business to have an AI employee. On September 29, 2026, the company announced Muse for Small Business through its newsroom — an agentic AI assistant built for owners who double as their own marketing team, bookkeeper, and admin staff. What it does The pitch is deliberately simple: “Give Muse a goal — like running your business or finding new customers — and it gets it done.” This isn’t a chatbot that waits for questions. It’s goal-driven: you set an objective and Muse works across the tools you already use to make it happen. Meta says Muse connects to dozens of them, including Shopify, QuickBooks, Stripe, Canva, Instagram professional accounts, Facebook Pages, and Meta ad accounts — plus Asana, Box, Dropbox, Figma, Klaviyo, Notion, Slack, and Zoom. Running ads, drafting invoices, sorting the inbox: the assistant is designed to do the work, not just describe it. There is one hard line. Meta says Muse will not pub...

Thieves Stole Nvidia-Branded Trailers Hunting GPUs — and Got 20 Tons of Sand

Thieves stole Nvidia-branded trailers and found 20 tons of sand

The heist that wasn't

Per WIRED's reporting on September 28, 2026, two trailers bearing the logos of Nvidia and autonomous-trucking startup PlusAI — Nvidia's partner on self-driving truck technology — were stolen from outside PlusAI's facility near Newark and Fremont, California. The thieves broke the trailers' hand locks, hooked them up to their own tractor cabs, and drove off. To anyone who saw the branding, the trailers looked like they were carrying a fortune in GPUs.

Forty thousand pounds of sand

What the thieves actually got was far less valuable. Each trailer held roughly 20,000 pounds of sand — about 40,000 pounds, or nearly 20 tons, in total. The sand was simulated ballast, used to test how PlusAI's autonomous trucks handle realistic cargo weight during research and development.

"PlusAI uses simulated loads in its trailers to assist with research and development testing," PlusAI spokesperson Lauren Kwan told WIRED.

Discovered by accident

The theft was discovered almost by accident: an acquaintance of a PlusAI executive spotted the trailers somewhere they weren't supposed to be and sent a congratulatory message — prompting the executive to realize they were gone and call the police. The trailers were later found abandoned about half a mile away, with all the sand still inside.

The real prize never left the building. The valuable tech — the self-driving truck cabs — stayed safely inside the warehouse; only the trailers parked outside were taken. Fremont police are investigating, and no arrests have been made so far. Nvidia declined to comment.

A sign of the times

The bungled heist reflects a bigger trend: theft of AI hardware shipments is rising. Verisk CargoNet estimates that cargo thieves stole about $304.6 million in goods in the second quarter of 2026 — more than double the same period in 2025 — as expensive enterprise hardware and GPUs became prime targets.

The takeaway: AI chips are so valuable now that thieves will steal entire trailers just for the logo on the side. This time, they walked away with nothing but a beach.
