I don't disagree with your decision to do this, but this isn't really offering you any additional protection if you're not using their products.

It's basically just a failsafe for web trackers that don't get blocked. It isn't preventing Meta from accessing your personal data if you're not actively feeding it to them like Muse users are.

It's also how Trump operates.

Might be moee like my workplace where the management has decided it's ok to feed all our files and their emails to AI because it can produce something that looks like work from them.

No thought to what it could do with that information.

Could be business side like paying for ads. I think facebook also has built in payment for marketplace which probably takes some fee

Whatsapp business data

marketplace data "Send me the money at xxxxxxxx xx-xx-xx"

instagram influencer pages

it's absurd how much data meta have access to

People just submitted it.
I don't know why.
They "trust me"
Dumb fucks. -mz

And then one day you'll get an update to the terms of service which will include,

Muse reserves the right to alter your shopping preferences to items which are more expensive but lead to a greater kickback to Meta.

And you'll click accept without reading it.

Like most AI solutions they can only autoate the gutter level obvious components of tasks.

Its not possible or to write a shoppig list for me because I havent decided what I want to eat yet.

Yeah, booking a flight is only difficult because I make it difficult by deciding about how I feel about cost versus layovers versus time of departure/arrival.

For grocery shopping, I'm very specific in what I want, and it's easiest just to pick them specifically. For a lot, I'd rather just go in person to the store to look over things. In fact, whenever I spend money I'm pretty specific in what I want and I don't want something to "improve" things by letting me be more vague.

As a point of comparison, fast food ordering. Apps and Kiosks were actually a step up for me, because it was easier and quicker for me to see what the options are and select precisely what I want. AI order taking would be a huge step backwards from there. Even when ordering from waitstaff at a restauraunt, I always like to have my finger clearly pointing to the menu for what I want to order.

I mean unless you only have cash and only spend cash, don't have a bank account, don't have a loan, don't connect to anything, etc., you're going to be a part of this regardless.

Just because you don't use AI, your institutions you use certainly are and they're all sharing the same needle.

I don't think any "LLM enthusiast," in their right mind, would feel okay about:

Meta asks users to let Muse control everything from their bank accounts to their emails.

If you use these things at a lower level, that is horrifying. Especially with how rushed the implementation seems to be, even assuming the VMs don't leak.

The good news is you don’t have to think about it or hand it over. The AI asks for full disk access and then pulls it all on its own. I hope you don’t have anything private in your machine.

Some people consider large companies to be inside their circle of trust.

As in "Google is going to protect my privacy by keeping my emails secure"

People working at Meta will end up leaking those info. Muse is just the tool.

B--B--Bingo.

I hate how these stories set us up to blame the product and not the shitty vibe coders.

I need to send my id to facebook to unlock my account to login if i want to delete it

I was forced to create a Facebook account to buy/sell second hand stuff. No one browses Kijiji, shit just stays there for ages until someone lowballs you 3 months later. Same for LesPACs.

On Marketplace, my stuff was gone within 2 days.

Fucking sucks. I really hate Meta. I held out for as long as I could, but if you want to buy / sell second hand goods, the competition is 100% dead, at least in Montreal.

didn't you hear? they had to give up their twitter handle. travesty.
