Meta makes the Muse filesystem even more accessible
Meta says Muse's cloud Linux VM filesystem access, including root, is intended.
The Verge reports that Meta's Muse chatbot now readily exposes its filesystem, including a clickable browser with root access and a zipped root archive with secrets stripped. A day earlier, Muse refused a full root copy and cited security concerns. Nat Friedman and David Singleton of Meta Superintelligence Labs said the Muse Secure VM is intentionally the user's own cloud Linux computer, unlike ChatGPT or Gemini. Meta has not yet explained why the model previously treated filesystem access as a security issue.
