Chinese AI Agent Manus Automates 50 Social Media Accounts Simultaneously, Raising Dead Internet Concerns

Manus, created by Singapore-based startup Butterfly Effect, launched in early March 2025 and quickly became a sensation in tech circles after video demonstrations showed it running 50 simultaneous social media accounts in real-time without human intervention.
