    People are giving Meta access to their emails, messages and calendars and other apps? Are they out of their mind or what am I missing?

      They also give them to Google in Gmail

        Gmail is 1 part of the puzzle. A big part but still one part. But when you give something access to your email, calendar, iMessage, browser, passkeys of other apps, location it can autocomplete the missing parts and can pretty much complete the jigsaw.

          I would never run Grok Bot or Muse with any sort of authentication.

          I did try booking a flight with Muse and it worked surprisingly well. But I never used it after.

      People are both lazy and curious. Meta is an attention grabbing juggernaut. Put the two together and plenty of people will experiment with giving Meta / Muse access to more of their digital lives.

      It's scary to think how the hyperscalers will continue to get more and more access into everyones tools and lives under the guise of "AI assistant".
