I didn’t expect this to become one of the more interesting updates of the day.

Tencent is in talks to take a major position in AI startup Manus, according to sources cited by Reuters.

My first reaction was pretty straightforward, but the more I thought about it, the less simple it looked. There’s the headline version, and then there’s the real-world impact on people actually affected by it.

I’d wait before making a sweeping call.
