Agent identity won’t come from inventing a bespoke protocol overnight Agent identity will come from giving dedicated access to what exists today - in the human internet. It’s playing out faster than we imagined
Privacy and security, argued in public
What these assistants hold, what has already leaked out of one, and what happens when somebody points an attack at an agent that reads your email. Every post is linked to the original, and every product named has a listing with its published policy quoted on it.

@chowtato Muse is also the most private and secure of all the options. Every user gets a virtual machine

Muse just allowed me to export all my Instagram followers More surprisingly, it agreed to export each my of my follower's followers I'm guessing this gets patched soon? (for comparison, Grok Bot will not give you a list of all your X followers)

Meta Muse was actually mostly complete in May way before Instinct. We didn't ship it because we felt we needed more time to RL Muse Spark w/ the harness and prioritize privacy and security. I'll have to admit, I was in the other camp. As a YC founder, you always hear "launch now!" so I wanted to get Muse out the door first before competitors. It was actually Mark that wanted to push timelines back to really get the privacy and security right. Say what you will about Zuck, but this guy really cares about privacy so much that it was actually painful to me. I can admit when I'm wrong and in retrospect, he might have been right.

Muse looks fantastic and equals Instinct in so many ways. All personal assistants will more or less be just as capable as the next. There is no moat anymore, it’s table stakes. The only way to stand out now is user trust & privacy. That’s what Halo is focusing on, ensuring privacy with 100% user data stored locally.

There is a world in which Instinct or Muse could get hacked and the 2-factor tied to email or message is not going to save you. I am going to spend this weekend moving all my 2FAs to one-time code generator with Google Auth or something. Email is as good as toast

did Muse just nuke Instinct? it has access to your entire insta/fb network, posts you've interacted with, your targeted feeds...that is insane levels of personal context now add in fb marketplace 🤯 plus it's insanely fast, speed is probably the biggest criticism of Instinct i've seen

This app seems very very well made. It doesn’t try to hide the info it has about you but does progressive disclosure really well so you’re not overwhelmed by what it is doing. Pretty impressive.

meta already built the best ad targeting system on earth by inferring who you are without requiring explicit intent. muse could give it the missing layer which is explicit context. your net worth through finance connectors, purchases across the broader internet through email, how you actually spend your time through calendar, etc. if this works meta’s behavioral graph becomes a personal context graph. that’s a pretty insane extension of an already powerful data flywheel. the irony is that much of this new intelligence may come from google which should obviously be playing the same game but hasn’t quite put any of the pieces together at all.

"We use @link by @stripe to generate virtual cards so you never need to share your credit card info. We're the first agent to offer Link Purchase Protection, which means if there's a mistake or issue, Link has your back." - @jrlevine, product lead on @meta muse

Completely agree. Companies like Instinct have an enormous ads opportunity. Far greater potential than charging customers directly.

Wow meanwhile Instinct out here changing my passwords without asking

i used instinct pretty aggressively on day one. it felt magical. and then it turned scary. giving it access to my email was already scary. then it started establishing sessions across apps and websites i use, on its own. watching an ai get that much access to act as me made me appreciate granular permissions on APIs a lot more. think about it. would you give even a clone of yourself unrestricted access to tools that could cost you money & happiness? i'd feel more comfortable with a dedicated app where sessions stay on device. but even then, i'd want it to ask before logging into anything on my behalf. and honestly, whatsapp/imessage doesn't feel like the right interface for this. i want to see where it's working, what it's doing in real time, and be able to step in before it does something i wouldn't have. that's why i prefer codex for example. the form factor is built around you trying to code, lives in projects and connects to your IDE easily. i'm not completely in the dark about what it's doing. ai agents don't have to live inside the apps or interfaces we already use. familiar interfaces help with adoption. they don't solve trust or control. if something can act as me, i need more than a chat bubble telling me it's done.
