  • John Gruber warns that Meta’s “Muse” AI, despite its cute and accessible packaging, is a powerful and potentially dangerous “agentic AI system” whose risks consumers likely don’t understand.
  • Muse is technically groundbreaking, providing users with their own persistent Linux VM in Meta’s cloud, making it the first consumer-accessible agentic AI.
  • Gruber draws an analogy to a power saw, emphasizing that unlike a tool with obvious physical dangers, users are unaware of how powerful—and thus dangerous—Muse is, especially when running on their personal devices.
