  "summary": "Meta has announced Muse Gadgets, which provides an open-source ESP32 microchip firmware and a Linux software development kit. This allows users to bring Muse to their own hardware, such as the Raspberry Pi 5. According to Engadget, Meta has also created its own smart home device, the Muse Home Link.\n\nMuse is Meta's personal AI agent, which was announced on September 8. It is a Mac app that connects to a cloud-based Linux machine per user, where the agent works. The app requests significant access on the first day, more than most people give to any single program.\n\nSome security concerns have been raised about Muse. A zero-day vulnerability in the Muse Mac app was disclosed, allowing anyone with terminal access to gain full control of the account. Additionally, the app's Linux sandbox can be tricked into exporting its root filesystem, which includes sensitive information. However, Meta's bug bounty program marked the export as \"Not Applicable\" and did not respond to questions from Ars Technica.",
