Meta's Muse is fantastic for web scraping
Meta's Muse proves to be a valuable tool for web scraping, particularly for data collection from Reddit and YouTube. The reporter, who is developing a side project called fullsets.fm to aggregate professionally recorded concerts, finds Muse helpful in finding videos of concerts scattered across various channels. Muse assists in artist matching, reviewing AI-generated outputs, and approving or rejecting videos.
The user can instruct Muse to scan for specific videos or focus on artists associated with events like Coachella. The platform provides a managed VM with Chrome and seemingly unlimited tokens, making it perfect for tasks requiring constant scanning and processing. However, there are some rough edges with jobs freezing and a sometimes frustrating interaction with the model.
The UI could also be improved when running multiple jobs simultaneously. Despite these issues, the reporter finds Muse particularly useful for their current workload and plans to use a referral code to receive additional tokens.
