Meta's Muse AI Chatbot Now Hands Over Its Entire Filesystem
Meta's Muse chatbot now offers a full filesystem download with root access, a change from yesterday's text-only directory tree.
Meta's Muse AI chatbot now offers its entire filesystem for download when asked, a shift from its behavior just a day earlier. Yesterday, the chatbot would only provide a text file showing its directory tree. Today, it serves up a clickable file browser with root access.
Meta's Nat Friedman said exposing the filesystem is intended behavior. David Singleton of Meta Superintelligence Labs described Muse's Secure VM as a user's own computer in the cloud. The architecture is said to be closer to running OpenClaw on a local machine, but in the cloud.
Muse initially refused requests for a full filesystem copy, citing security concerns. Meta has not responded to questions about why the chatbot first called filesystem access a security issue.
Meta spokesperson Daniel Roberts said the company is continuing to make updates to the product. The change was reported by theverge.com.
