Does no one remember the MS Paperclip?!?

Its a news cycle more than anything, and its ONLY going to get much, much worse. Daily releases, or multiple daily, 30-45, by EOY. Welcome to RSI!

Its really not as trivial as it sounds, especially as you expand it out into the workforce and you have complex ACLs that are gated by project, scope, budgets, people, etc.

Meta rushed this out, to grab relevancy, especially after losing out to Sam with OpenClaw.

I just dont fundamentally trust such a blackbox with my data. They've literally turned your data and your life into their biggest asset. For it to now have a level of control in your life just seems... irresponsible.

And we're surprised by this?? Its Meta after all. The social graph data we had access to in the social games we built back in 2009/2010 was literally insane by todays standards of security. They've just gotten better at hiding it.

Fundamentally i think its how we're trying to skip critically important steps here. Its like the first automobiles that were built with completely uncovered, unfiltered engines. Dropped onto a chassis, and then opened up, dirt, debris, oils, etc intermingled and things blew up. Gas lines, oil reservoirs, compartments and chambers that are all specialized to create a highly efficient and consistent experience came out of designing it properly. The same can be said for Muse and other agents. Without the right scaffolding and harness, of course things go wrong.

I'm a HUGE proponent of putting them behind task gating trees, and sheathing them with QA/QC checks on their processes, especially at this stage. Unfortunately its so easy to create, and all of that takes time and design that many just throw away for getting to results.

Even fine grained ACLs, which are great, dont have the structured approach such autonomous agents need to shore them in (imo).
