Quoting John Gruber

A quoted excerpt from John Gruber's piece "Muse Looks Cute, but Looks are Deceiving," arguing that Meta's Muse — the first consumer-accessible agentic AI system, which gives each user their own persistent Linux VM in Meta's cloud — is far more powerful and dangerous than its cute, easy-to-use packaging suggests, especially when it runs with access on a user's Mac. The piece raises the concern that ordinary consumers don't grasp the scope of what an agentic system with VM-level access can do, unlike an obviously dangerous tool like a power saw.
