Gruber warns Meta's cute Muse agent hides a powerful — and dangerous — persistent VM
Simon Willison · rss · 2026-09-26
Simon Willison quotes John Gruber on Meta's Muse agent: it's groundbreaking technically (each user gets their own persistent Linux VM in Meta's cloud) and brilliantly packaged as the first consumer-accessible agentic AI system. But Gruber warns consumers may not grasp what that means — like buying a power saw, people don't realize how powerful, and thus dangerous, Muse is, especially running on their own Mac. Willison concurs.
