    Instinct completes a $1 billion Series C funding round at a $10 billion valuation

    AI assistant startup Instinct has completed a $1 billion Series C funding round, with investors including Sequoia Capital, Benchmark Capital and Coatue, valuing the company at $10 billion. TechCrunch AI reported on September 28, 2026 that this comes just one month after its previous funding round at a $2.5 billion valuation, and that the company's invite-only service only launched in August 2026. The report said that Instinct completes tasks for users through its own phone numbers and computers, and recently launched a concierge feature that can make calls on users' behalf, as well as a trusted person network that lets different users' agents coordinate plans with each other; it has not yet launched a mobile app, nor disclosed user data, and faces competition from Meta's AI assistant Muse. Huxiu reported on October 3 that founder Noah Shinn is 23 years old, dropped out of undergraduate studies, published the Agent paper Reflexion as first author at NeurIPS, and later joined Sierra as a research scientist; the report also said the company has only 14 full-time employees, users spend an average of more than $1,300 per month through Instinct, but its excessive requests for permissions have sparked privacy controversy.

    Bill Gates warns AI could trigger an event killing a billion people

    Bill Gates issued a warning that artificial intelligence is powerful enough to potentially trigger an event that could kill a billion people. The claim appeared in a September 26, 2026 report in The Paper's "Morning Read" column, which also rounded up news including Apple being ordered to pay more than $5.7 billion for infringing Taction vibration technology patents. Cailian Press's morning briefing on the same day also mentioned Bill Gates's warning, and reported that the Chinese and U.S. heads of state reached an eight-point consensus at their meeting, that the Foreign Ministry answered reporters' questions on artificial intelligence, and that Meta's AI product Muse was found to have vulnerabilities that could affect user data and virtual environment security. There has been no subsequent development or official response so far.

    Brookings Institution Releases Study on U.S. AI Infrastructure Investment

    On September 26, 2026, the Brookings Institution released a study by Columbia Business School professor Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh estimating that cumulative U.S. AI infrastructure investment from 2025 to 2032 will total approximately $10.3 trillion, averaging 3.63% of U.S. GDP annually—higher than the historical investment intensity of railroad, highway, and fiber-optic construction. The report notes that capital expenditures by five companies—Oracle, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Alphabet—are projected to reach $800.5 billion in 2026, exceeding their operating cash flow of $707.1 billion for the first time, with the gap reliant on borrowing and external financing. The report also mentions that the debt-to-asset ratio of Meta's Hyperion project is close to 90%, and that large cloud providers' off-balance-sheet lease and purchase commitments total approximately $2.4 trillion; IT assets such as GPUs are calculated on a 6-year economic life, and if demand growth cannot keep pace with capacity expansion, this could create pressure for declining utilization rates and lease prices. Currently, this research has been disclosed through a report by Huxiu, with no subsequent developments.
