The podcast episode reports on a massive FBI hack that 404 Media says exposed data tied to FBI employees and their spouses. The breach involves data on all FBI employees and their spouses. The episode then pivots to how some police surveillance data is being pitched for facial recognition and discusses Meta’s Muse agentic AI, including the role of humans in tasks.
Meta open sourced code that lets people build their own Muse AI gadgets using Meta’s new AI agent. The release is built around programming an off-the-shelf ESP32 board with the provided SDKs. As a result, developers can attach Muse to custom displays and input or sensor hardware to create DIY reminder screens and similar devices.
Muse-related consumer agents are being pushed by app companies like DoorDash and Airbnb, creating tension over whether general agents like Meta’s Muse can stay ad-free while vertical agents compete via their own app surfaces. The DoorDash iOS pilot was reported as live for 20,000 US users, and Grocery orders built with Ask DoorDash had nearly 50% higher basket value than traditional orders. As a result, the monetization debate shifts from in-agent ads to merchant fee models and “trust” as general-purpose agents may be advantaged by cross-service advocacy without steering toward a single company’s inventory.
