The Muse Agent Scared Me More Than It Helped

When the security flaws make the news before the features do, step back.

Meta's Muse agent launched with flaws serious enough to make Apple change macOS privacy settings.

A zero-day that could spy on Mac users and a path to root access are not the kind of features you beta around.

Reports said it shipped despite known vulnerabilities, which is the part that stuck with me.

I'm not touching an agent that can read my messages and reach root until the trust model is proven.

Capability without safety isn't ahead of the curve. It's just exposed.
