Meta’s Muse bot is supposed to look cute, but in reality it’s creepy and even dangerous. Muse AI gave out one user’s address without asking him, read another person’s texts without permission, and even spies on users’ friends. It’s compiling dossiers on everyone who uses it, and even people who don’t.

This is Mark’s secret sauce. Way back when Facebook was new, it created profiles on people even if they weren’t users. Friend A uploaded a list of contacts with you in it, Friend B uploads their contacts with you in it, now they know about you, your relationship with A and B, and A and B are connected via you.
Then they can infer your location, wealth, politics, orientation, etc. based on your network.
