I'll go against the grain and say that I like this, I genuinely don't think this is anything but some internal team being excited about their product and giving you some firmware to connect stuff to their agents. Meta the trillion dollar company will not move at all from this.

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?

sorry, cannot see past the terrible person
there are plenty of other awesome open hardware/software we could share and talk about, from people like us, some in /new right now

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.

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.

Literally yesterday I ordered an ESP32-C5 board to build a home network proxy for cloud agents (including but not limited to Muse), and today they announce this. I guess this is confirmation I'm on the right track.

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.

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.

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

My hope is that, like Jev, we're going to see Open alternatives to Muse using this framework within days

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

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.

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
