Security researcher Karan Joshi and others extracted Muse’s internal files and shared operating instructions with WIRED that show the assistant compiles hourly “pages” for people in a user’s life (facts, history, relationship status, suggestions). Meta says Muse runs per-user VMs, allows memory wiping, seeks confirmation for actions, and intended these files to be accessible for transparency.
Apple announced it will introduce additional controls for the macOS ‘Full Disk Access’ permission after reports that desktop AI agents (including claims about Meta’s Muse and a Wired story about ChatGPT’s Mac app) highlighted risks of apps accessing files, messages and other personal data.

Microsoft launched a redesigned Copilot app that consolidates Copilot Chat/Cowork (Home), a new Code tab for creating and hosting internal apps, and Autopilot (the rebranded Scout) as a continuous cloud agent. Home and Code will roll out to Microsoft’s Frontier early access program in the coming weeks, Autopilot goes into private preview later this month, and some Code features will be previewed for Microsoft 365 Premium and Pro subscribers this year; usage‑based billing and FinOps for AI will govern agent and model usage.
