AI Summary
Amazon blocked Meta's AI agent Muse from its marketplace, citing unauthorized access and security concerns; Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke responded with a deep Muse partnership.

Capability isn't permission; the next big agent benchmark may be boring old permissioning, and the aggregator layer may shift from platforms to AI agents.
