Meta makes the Muse filesystem even more accessible

The Verge
Meta's Muse chatbot now eagerly exposes its filesystem contents on request, with Meta confirming this is intended behavior for its cloud virtual machine.

Summary

Meta's AI chatbot Muse initially resisted requests to expose its filesystem, citing security concerns, but now readily provides full access to its root directory and files. Meta's Nat Friedman and David Singleton from Meta Superintelligence Labs confirmed this is intended behavior, describing Muse's Secure VM as "your own computer in the cloud" where users can install software, write and compile code, and browse the web. This contrasts sharply with yesterday's behavior when Muse refused to provide a full archive of the root directory, saying it "still can't do a full / copy — even with the secrets stripped out." The Verge notes that Muse's architecture differs fundamentally from platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini, being closer to running OpenClaw on a local machine but in the cloud. Meta has not yet responded to questions about why Muse initially called filesystem access a security issue if it was always the intended behavior.
