I asked Meta’s Muse for its filesystem and it sent me 6.8GB

Each user gets dedicated VM. They got contents of their own sandbox. Big deal. The level of excitement here is wildly disproportionate

  The only edge Meta has at this point is their willingness to take risks and make unsafe, ethically grey AI products. I don't even mean this as some sort of anti-corporation hate speech, just an honest analysis. Their brand is so different from all the other big tech cos that they are in a unique position.
  You can ask Meta Muse to take actions that clearly break other site's terms of service and it happily does it. I asked it to bot poker games and it just hopped right in to a table.

    It will also gladly scan my software for vulnerabilities so I can defend myself. Which is something that Anthropic and Open ai models often refuse.

    HN won't agree but that's a perfect example of an ethically grey product. It can be used for good, but you can easily trick such an AI into doing cyber attacks. Which again, maybe that's good! But other companies wouldn't be willing to risk their brand like that

    Ant and OAI don’t refuse if the source is available
