sidjustice_ · x · 2026-09-23
Renowned computer scientist Grady Booch says he would never install Meta's Muse agent, "alarmingly more so now, before their confidential VM is deployed": "'Trust me' and @Meta are words I find incompatible in every dimension of meaning." He concedes the agent has real utility but argues the probability of misuse is non-trivial and there is precedent. A notable public expression of distrust of Meta's agent security posture.
