Give us all your data, but: “no automated system is perfect,” the company admitted, advising users to “review Muse’s activity and only grant the access you’re comfortable with.”

Those commercials where Muse is autonomously rescheduling flights, baby sitters, etc... While the user unknowingly relaxes nearby are insane. Who would ever want that?

These execs are so out of touch. They have human personal assistants wipe their ass for them and think everyone else wants their phones to do the same.

    Same here. I’d be willing to sell it though. It’s beyond maddening to me that they think it has value and then turn around and blatantly steal it. Cut me in and I’ll happily check all the boxes. Spy away if the price is right.

    What’s insane to me, is how people keep agreeing to the surveillance madness and we have reached this level at all.

    Because nothing bad happened to them.... Yet.

    Nothing bad happened the first time the clicked accept on the EULA without reading it. Nor on the 2nd, or 10th or 100th and so they become desensitised to giving up rights and nothing bad happens... Until the nth time.

    But look how cute that avatar looks like. It couldn't do anything bad, look at it ...

    No seriously, dressing it up as something happy and cute was an evil genious decision.

    I dunno how genius it was. It seems pretty obvious to me. Definitely evil, but let's not give them too much credit.

    Well, they are the first AI business that are doing it as prominently, aren't they? So if it is obviously why is that so? I don't want to give them too much credit for it either but it is certainly a clever strategy.

    Anyone who touches this even with a ten foot pole deserves any and all consequences. In 2026 there's no excuses left.

    Meta spent years demonstrating what happens when you trust it with personal data. Now it wants your email, password vault and bank login too. Calling that an AI assistant doesn’t make it less absurd.

    Okay but have you considered the fun and non-offensive corporate Memphis monster branding?

    I mean, look at that thing! It’s practically begging to have your back password, as a treat!

    BonziBuddy was a thing just before the dotcom bubble burst. Just saying.

    They even look the similar.

    I hope people don't actually give this thing agency while it's in its infancy

    If Meta gives you something, you should assume as much.

    The thing that literally invites people to your home with a lowball offer on your behalf when you try to sell something?
