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?

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

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

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

Your response is unrelated to the content of this thread (the open sourcing of hardware/software)

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.

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.

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.

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

our digital landlords, we are but serfs

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

A Meta ecosystem is definitely not coming to my household.

100% vibe coded page

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?

ill wait for the inevitable "foss community open source alternative" version

I am gonna be so pissed if ESP32 prices spike

Will not limited to ESP32.

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...

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

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.

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

this guy reads every single eula an cookie popup

Thats very @dps

I don't get it

Hahaha
