Quoting John Gruber
Meta's Muse is the first consumer-accessible agentic AI with persistent Linux VMs per user
“It's the first consumer-accessible agentic AI system, and Meta has truly done an amazing job with that. But it's a genuinely open question whether consumers have any understanding what this means.”
Meta has launched Muse, an agentic AI system that gives each user a persistent Linux VM in Meta's cloud, wrapped in a friendly consumer package. John Gruber argues this is a landmark product in accessibility but raises serious concerns that consumers are unaware of the system-level power they're granting it. The tension between approachable packaging and deep OS-level agency marks a new frontier in consumer AI risk.
