    The larping as a grassroots/open source product is really off-putting. The only reason anyone would use this is that its "free" and comes with preloaded prompts for non-technical people.

    No thanks.

      LARPing would imply pretending to do something, but not actually doing it. Here they appear to be actually doing it (open source product). Is there something Im missing?

        That it's Zuck and Meta?

        He spent his good will, I'm not touching anything from that company again, they've willfully or negligently caused so much harm, this is just the latest

        https://www.cnbc.com/2026/08/26/meta-social-media-trial-sett...

        he's currently addicting our grandparents to ai companions, I guess teen harm wasn't enough, need to get that elder abuse in too?

        A surplus of outrage and a willingness to share your unfiltered reactions to things, I guess.

          celebrities and billionaires always catch more heat, can we not call out their bs?

    Even ignoring all the privacy issues Meta has (and they are many, and we shouldn't), Zuck is happy to do a rug-pull on his users whenever he feels like it.

    "Facebook's main purpose isn't really to connect with friends any more."

    If he wakes up tomorrow and decides everything should be different, and that ruins your plans, well tough beans for you. I wouldn't touch this with a ten-foot pole.

    The general theme of meta's approach across the board here is interesting - basically, they are trying to win in part by taking risks others aren't willing to. I can imagine they saw that all the success is coming so far when a someone is willing to cross a boundary that wasn't previously thought acceptable - from releasing ChatGPT in the first place, to things like OpenClaw.

    So now they are actively distributing SDKs and to let people "hack" custom hardware integrations to their already risky AI agents unleashed on the general public. Giving agents abilty to control things in the physical world - what could possibly go wrong?

    But here we are: so far the story is pretty much 100% "fortune favors the bold", and Meta is leaning into it.

    It says make it your own. Then

    > Gadgets you build with the Muse Gadget SDK need a token. Add it to your SDK configuration so your gadgets can pair with the Muse app.

    > Each token can be used by a limited number of devices.

    > The Muse Gadget SDK is intended for personal tinkering and is not a supported product or developer platform. The SDK can change, break, or stop functioning without warning.

    Doesn't really feel like it's my own.

      Clearly you just made the completely unique mistake of not understanding it’s more like the “ownership” of digital movies, games and music where there is clearly no ownership. That is completely obvious to anyone who would see the word “own”…at least according to most companies court filings.

      (I joke, but not really…)

    Please do not waste hardware (nowadays valuable) on Meta's privacy-leaking garbage.

    A Meta ecosystem is definitely not coming to my household.

    This being Facebook is hard to trust with everything even considering they already have a lot of info on you

    Why would I ever want Facebook to have access to anything I own, think, or post if I could avoid it?

    Was this the AI that gives strangers your home address or am I confusing it for something else?

      And a lot of us would feel the same way, so to prevent this, we start buying a bit more, prices raise a bit, so a bit more people get scared and...

    So many possibilities, especially connecting to the real agent :D

    I wish Anthropic would robustify their bluetooth implementation (Developer > Hardware Buddy...)

    Just think of the possibilities—previously Muse invited someone to the user's house from Facebook Marketplace, but sadly the user wasn't home, and so got angry. But if you connect Muse to your Internet of Things—why, Muse could just unlock the door for your guest! You don't even need to be aware that they're coming. Surprise guests!

      It was discovered that the person hit "always approve" when their muse asked them if it could give out their address.
      • nater5000 54 minutes ago
        Oh, thank God it was such a specific and unique human error. There's no way almost everybody using AI via Meta products aren't just clicking "always approve" on their app lol
