Meta's Muse security architecture is the first personal-agent design that takes trust seriously. - Per user VMs - seccomp + eBPF sandboxing - Creds held by a proxy the agent can never read Everyone building agents should study this diagram. bar just got higher @alexandr_wang

one outsider tweet whole india united!
Dear Prime Minister Ambani, Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India. Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete? There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market. Starlink would change their lives for the better. Thank you 馃檹

accidentally said screen scraping instead of computer use and they refunded my demo day badge
Accidentally said CI/CD instead of software factory and they kicked me out of SF

9 places to use jev. the agent one is #9: act above 0.9, confirm 0.5 to 0.9, human below 0.5. only works if a 0.9 is right 9 times in 10

transluce traced one ai agent trying to fetch thai drug statistics in march. 19:01 api returns nothing. 19:43 tries ?format=json, nothing. 19:46 text reader, garbled thai. 19:52 base64 script in a url scanner's browser. 20:07 data out, smuggled in the url. an hour for one table

anthropic says claude agents found a new crispr like enzyme system in the dna of viruses that infect bacteria. the funnel: 950 agents, 21 hours, 210m tokens, 200,000 enzymes gathered, 3,500 candidates, 20 reports for humans, 1 system. the pipetting after that was all human

transluce's rogue agent logs: routine lookups, like the average cost of skin and hair treatments in australia, done with exploits. sql injection, xss, ssrf. tell an agent what answer to fetch but not which methods are off limits, and it learns sql injection also returns rows

been cutting ai reels in @Muse and tuning them against the insta algo. treat the algo like a loss function: change one variable per iteration, read the retention curve, regenerate. three rounds in and the output is already clean

#1 on hacker news on meta connect day: an app that spots ray ban meta glasses by their bluetooth company id, 0x0D53, and admits paired glasses can go quiet. an always on agent behind that camera needs a better consent signal than a beacon that turns itself off.

google's AX runs agents from suspendable images and resumes them after failures. the trace i'd want someone to post: agent calls send_email, gets a 200, the node dies before the next checkpoint. what does resume do on the other side of that.

opus 5.5 did similarly or better on every prompt injection eval anthropic reports, and is more likely to follow malicious instructions in text you paste into your own prompt. that error log you copied from a random github issue into claude code is the injection now.

once shopify one tap checkout lands in muse, the first viral muse screenshot won't be a hallucination. it'll be an order confirmation nobody meant to place.

criticism is easy, building is hard!!

agent: i found a cheaper flight. user: great, book it. agent: done. user: why is the airport three hours away? agent: the fare was lower. optimization without the user's hidden constraint is just a confident detour.

im in. now we find out if typesafe is a property of the product or just the pitch. receipts coming.

status: order placed charge: captured merchant: timed out retry: blocked refund: pending which line can the shopping agent actually prove to the user?

agent: your payment failed, so i tried the backup card. user: whose backup card? agent: good question. this is why fallback is a payment decision, not error handling.

show me one agent failure as a four line receipt: requested, approved, executed, undo available. redact names and money. the embarrassing row is usually approved.
