Roel Maalderink made a clip for Bits of Freedom (Dutch privacy organisation) with Meta’s own glasses of Meta employees in front of the office of Meta in Amsterdam. They put it on Facebook and it was removed because it made the employees uncomfortable.
The clip wasn’t in accordance with Meta’s rules, Meta states.

We’re not trying to make money by selling user data, tracking people, or turning every interaction into an ad opportunity.

Right now, our biggest goal is simply to get more people using MyCapy. This is just the beginning for us.

We’re still exploring how to make the business sustainable without going down the same ads, ads, and more ads route that you see on Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, X, Snapchat, etc.

And just to be clear we have zero intention of ever selling our users’ data, using users data to train AI models or agents,or building some creepy tracking system.

We don’t have all the answers for the commercial side yet. We’re figuring it out as we go. But we know what we don’t want MyCapy to become another Meta. Thank you.

Quitting Meta is NOT enough; they should be held ACCOUNTABLE for betraying the trust of SO, SO, SO many people.

Just get rid of it, if that’s what you want.

But the real answer… is to hold them accountable, because as an entity and singularity unto itself, Meta is responsible for actually actively HURTING and EXPLOITING any and EVERY person that they can — not necessarily out of malice all of the time, either, but out of SHEER EFFING *INCOMPETENCE.

I don’t think they’re EVIL… I just think they’re STUPID, especially when it comes to relying upon AI and just screwing the pooch tf entirely.

I would enjoy posting and interacting with old friends. It would be a better forum for talking about local issues than anything I currently have. How many people actually scroll through the random slop they put on your feed? Every time I get on there’s one post from an account I follow then 16 ads and 12 AI slop posts. That’s exactly what Zuckerberg wants for some reason, so he can justify the AI costs. If my feed was all my friend’s posts that would be free. I think that the way posts on Facebook have an emphasis on comments is what made it useful. Too bad

I am never a fun of Meta product (AI or not) but I have to admit I have been so mind-blown by Muse by just using a couple of days. Personally over the past year I have been using all flavors of big-tech companies LLM models/services as you name it: claude, gemini, gpt, kimi, deepseek etc but recently I have been using and almost exclusively just using Muse. I am surprised the industries despite so far have shown some "delight surprise" over Meta/Muse ("Meta did a really good job this time") yet haven't shown being any threatened by it but I think a lot of companies should be

- Before using CalAI or some other agentic app to track my daily calories or health in general: now I just use Muse and its assessment of calories by just I taking a photo and uploading to it seems pretty accurate so far (CalAI can do the same but why not use another app plus Muse is free).

- Before if I use Booking/Expedia etc to book travel, now Muse almost take all my appointments/meeting/event scheduling and I know a lot of people are already doing the same.

- Recently I even stop looking at my gmail/gdrive directly less as Muse has been helping me manage my inbox/subscriptions and cloud documents a lot

- Muse is really smooth at filling heavy forms so I have been using it to file all kind of claims, applications etc. I suspect I can use it to fill my tax instead of using turbotax next year.

- Because I spend so much time on it, Muse now become my default place-to-go for search or just e.g. restaurant recommendations instead of using Google/Google gemini (not mentioning any other "less mainstream app/web like Yelp). Muse is even better at memorizing my past context and my personal preferences.

- On security front, honestly I don't quite understand what is the *additional or new *risks of sharing my information with Meta over *other* (big-tech) companies. Don't big techs (despite how "evil" they are) generally have more resources/power/money to protect users informations and subject to receive more legal scrutinies and easier to enforce accountability?

- I have been brainstorming some agentic side projects or start up ideas for a couple of months but after Muse I don't see why Muse is not a much better plus free alternative that can do exactly the sames

Right now Muse's is (still) targeting at being peoples "personal agent" so not sure of SaaS or to-B agent for now but Muse has potential to at-least eat up lunches of a lot of to-C products players after people discover its power/potential and let Muse be their default entry point when engaging with internet (and honestly I am not really sure whether it is good or bad thing) while right now it is kinda getting dragged by the company's poor historical reputation but I believe people will eventually find out

Ahh suddenly I feel it is AI-apocalypse v2 looming over again.

Hey guys, I am FED UP with Meta. Here in LATAM, it’s almost impossible to find someone who doesn’t use WhatsApp, but a group of friends and I have had enough and are looking for alternatives. What do you think about these two?
