Meta's Muse Builds Profiles on Every Person in Users' Lives, Drawing on Hourly Memory Files
1 articles · Updated · WIRED · Oct 3
Summary
Internal files extracted from Meta’s Muse show the AI can create “a page for every person in the user’s life,” compiling details on family, partners, friends, colleagues and others in an hourly process.
Those pages can expand from sparse notes into sections covering facts, history, relationship dynamics, recurring threads, birthdays or anniversaries, and suggested ways to strengthen ties.
Researcher Karan Joshi obtained the instructions by prompting Muse through its normal chat interface to copy and share its own software files, while Meta said the files were intentionally accessible for transparency.
Meta said each user’s data sits in a dedicated virtual machine, users can wipe memories or disconnect services, and Muse seeks confirmation before actions such as purchases or emails.
Privacy and AI governance experts said Muse appears more relationship-focused than rival assistants, highlighting how agents tied to messages, calendars, finances and health data can infer far more than users explicitly disclose.
