The idea of giving an AI model access to my email or bank account makes my head spin.
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”
Giving it any agency at all is maddening to me
Meta asking users to hand over bank accounts, email archives and passwords while its own engineers reportedly call a massive breach »inevitable« is quite the sales pitch. At this point, Muse isn’t a personal assistant: it’s a beautifully branded single point of failure with Zuckerberg’s logo on it.
It’s one more data harvesting tool on their belt.
People just submitted it.
I don’t know why.
They “trust me”
Dumb fucks. -mz
People are sharing bank accounts and other sensitive data with Meta? Have these people been living under a rock or what?
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
I’ve struggled to understand the value of this product. I know everyone has to do stuff they don’t exactly enjoy doing but how is putting this thing in charge supposed to make life that much easier? One small excerpt that indicates possible uses:
To allow it to perform tasks that require a computer, like booking flights or shopping for groceries
I’m not risking a problem with a flight of all things due to laziness leading me to put a bot in charge. Ridiculous. Grocery shopping? How much time is putting that thing in charge going to save me? If i ordered grocery store delivery all it’s going to do is take my shopping list and hopefully relay that info to the grocery stores site and schedule delivery and pay for it with my bank account. How much time is it saving me by automating it? A min or 2? I’m ok with ordering my groceries myself, most of the info will already be sitting there on my shopping list… going the “last mile” of ordering the stuff (as the bot could do) would be helpful i guess, but not revolutionary and ultimately something else i would simply rather handle myself. Why risk a problem just to potentially save a min or 2? And for what cost, at that?
The people that need a personal assistant can pony up the $ to pay one. I don’t see this being an effective stand-in for one, but maybe I’m wrong. To me, this is perhaps the most egregious example of a “solution in search of a problem” because I’m still not having that moment of clarity where it’s like “Ooooooh, that’s why there’s so much hype surrounding this tech”
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.
Hahahahahah. Shopping? For what? A filled up gas tank? Bills? Rent? Whatever’s on sale at the closest grocery store? Whatever’s on clearance?
I get what you’re saying, I’m just taking a piss. This just looks like scraping the barrel at this point.
Yeah, I need an AI to apply for benefits and to find me a job.
Please don’t, people try to submit benefit applications done with ChatGPT all the time and when they’re not completely hallucinated forms it utterly fucks them over by making up details that sound good and submitting them, and inadvertently committing felony perjury on their behalf in the process.
This is why Meta’s entire network is blocked at the edge of mine.
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 making sure no one using my network can use their products. Do you not have kids or do your kids not have friends?
Your entire post could have remained a thought in your head and would have been just as useful.
If you still have a Facebook account, you fully support this clown show.
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.
You have an account, you count as an active user. Congrats. You are part of their profits.
Delete the account of support their platform. There is no grey area.
I’m open to another suggestion regarding buying and selling used goods. As previously stated, I don’t see a viable alternative. All the good stuff is on Marketplace. Very few bother to sell outside of that platform anymore, and few look at other platforms.
You’re supporting their bullshit. There’s no justification for it.
ok
As expected.
Just be sure not to complain about the practices of any company or their mistreatment of their employees when you have shown that boycotts are only an option if they’re convenient to you. Otherwise:
You got yours. That’s what matters.
ok
I have a FB account only for a Buy Nothing group, which is way more good than the harm my occasional logging on to FB is creating.
So you’re wrong.
No, I’m not. And Facebook’s shareholders thank you for numbering among their active users.
You support everything they do.
