Meta’s AI agent Muse gives out user’s home address without permission, sending buyer to his house
“When Usman asked if a keyboard for sale on Facebook Marketplace was still available on Saturday, he received an enthusiastic and immediate response.
“Yep still available!” wrote Matt Robb.
The two agreed on a price, and Robb sent his Toronto address. Usman, wife and daughter in tow, showed up several hours later at Robb’s home and sent a text that he had arrived.
Robb responded, “yep I’m here!”, but he was not at home. Nobody walked out of the apartment building.
Usman had not contacted the real Robb. Throughout the daylong interaction, the human version of Robb never knew Usman had messaged him or had agreed to buy the keyboard. He did not know Usman had received his address or that he was waiting outside his apartment building.
Usman had spoken to Meta’s new AI agent, Muse, released 22 September in the US and downloaded 3m times. The company advertises the semi-autonomous AI product as a personal assistant.
Without Robb’s consent or approval, Muse had given out his home address, creating the false impression that Robb was expecting the would-be buyer at his apartment, he said.”
In honor of Mexican Independence Day, I’d like to introduce you to Frida Kahlo. Her work and life are captivating.
Frida was a painter and an activist, whose presence was nearly unknown to the world. She almost died of Polio at the age of 6, then as an adult she was in a horrible auto accident.
The latter effectively ended her aspiring medical career and was a catalyst for her painting career. Which she began during a year-long recovery.
Her art, which the world almost didn’t have, is an expression of her activism. Her focus being inclusivity, culture, and indigenous rebellion against colonialism.
My favorite quote from her:
“I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.”
