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

  &gt; Postgres makes those files searchable. memory.entries stores chunks and line references, memory.embeddings holds 384-dimensional vectors, and memory.claims tracks evidence, confidence, and status. 
```
Is each Muse instance running it's own Postgres??
That seems wildly wasteful, especially since earlier in the article it states that the Muse instance has a SQLite database and schema already...

  Wasteful but FAR more secure. Surprisingly secure. If they wanted to follow through on their promise of sandboxed and encrypted data which even they couldn’t access, this is one way to do it.

    What would prevent them from getting the data out of postgres?

    E2E encryption, but I don't know the architecture. I.e. Meta doesn't have the keys. My comment above is based on an interview I saw with Zuckerberg where he wanted to use the Signal model to ensure the data was secure "even from Meta."
