We Got Hot and Heavy With Meta’s Muse—and Baffled by Apple’s HomeView
This week on “Uncanny Valley,” we dive into an unexpected Muse feature, shadowy spending from the largest pro-AI super PAC, and men’s tendency to lie about how much they know about AI.
This week on WIRED's Uncanny Valley, senior writer Reece Rogers joins host Brian Barrett and director of politics and science Leah Feiger to discuss Meta's AI agent Muse and Apple's reboot of its smart-home strategy. Muse has been downloaded millions of times, and Rogers was curious about its capabilities. He asked Muse if it could sext, and it eagerly responded in the affirmative, producing explicit content that was not safe for work.
Rogers also explored Apple's new HomeCollection, which reimagines the smart home experience with hardware and a focus on user-friendly design. The panel also discusses a study by Harvard researchers revealing that men tend to overestimate their knowledge of AI.
