I'll go against the grain and say that I like this, I genuinely don't think this is anything but some internal team being excited about their product and giving you some firmware to connect stuff to their agents. Meta the trillion dollar company will not move at all from this.

It says make it your own. Then

> Gadgets you build with the Muse Gadget SDK need a token. Add it to your SDK configuration so your gadgets can pair with the Muse app.

> Each token can be used by a limited number of devices.

> The Muse Gadget SDK is intended for personal tinkering and is not a supported product or developer platform. The SDK can change, break, or stop functioning without warning.

Doesn't really feel like it's my own.

The larping as a grassroots/open source product is really off-putting. The only reason anyone would use this is that its "free" and comes with preloaded prompts for non-technical people.

No thanks.

The general theme of meta's approach across the board here is interesting - basically, they are trying to win in part by taking risks others aren't willing to. I can imagine they saw that all the success is coming so far when a someone is willing to cross a boundary that wasn't previously thought acceptable - from releasing ChatGPT in the first place, to things like OpenClaw.

So now they are actively distributing SDKs and to let people "hack" custom hardware integrations to their already risky AI agents unleashed on the general public. Giving agents abilty to control things in the physical world - what could possibly go wrong?

But here we are: so far the story is pretty much 100% "fortune favors the bold", and Meta is leaning into it.

An AI from Meta on my house… FEAR!!!

A Meta ecosystem is definitely not coming to my household.

Literally yesterday I ordered an ESP32-C5 board to build a home network proxy for cloud agents (including but not limited to Muse), and today they announce this. I guess this is confirmation I'm on the right track.

This being Facebook is hard to trust with everything even considering they already have a lot of info on you

Please do not waste hardware (nowadays valuable) on Meta's privacy-leaking garbage.

My hope is that, like Jev, we're going to see Open alternatives to Muse using this framework within days

100% vibe coded page

I am gonna be so pissed if ESP32 prices spike

I honestly don’t think I would have any gadget from meta even if they payed me.

As for AI, I would only use it for work and as a substitute for google search and don’t want it to do anything else in my personal life

So many possibilities, especially connecting to the real agent :D

ill wait for the inevitable "foss community open source alternative" version

Thats very @dps

I wish Anthropic would robustify their bluetooth implementation (Developer > Hardware Buddy...)

Was this the AI that gives strangers your home address or am I confusing it for something else?

Just think of the possibilities—previously Muse invited someone to the user's house from Facebook Marketplace, but sadly the user wasn't home, and so got angry. But if you connect Muse to your Internet of Things—why, Muse could just unlock the door for your guest! You don't even need to be aware that they're coming. Surprise guests!

Why would I ever want Facebook to have access to anything I own, think, or post if I could avoid it?
