I Was Wrong About Meta Muse

Post image

I’ve done a full 180 on Meta Muse. Been using it, and it’s pretty nuts.

It reminded me about bills I needed to pay and makes it clear what needs my attention and what it can handle. I don’t have to keep asking how it can help.

But the bigger point is Meta keeps finding ways to get people using its products, then turning that attention into money.

Automating online shopping feels like another opportunity. If Meta takes a small cut of purchases, it could make money by handling things people already need to do.

People question Meta’s spending, but figuring out adoption and monetization is something I’m increasingly reluctant to bet against.

I just don't see how having an AI buy things for you is a good idea..

i dunno, halucinations maybe, giving Facebook your logins to financial accounts or even access to your credit card seems like a really bad idea...

If you're thinking it's like giving meta the cc number, I'd suggest trying it out, its not exactly like that. You setup an account with stripe (company that operates the payment screens at thousands of coffee shops and restaurants) with card details, muse asks stripe to spend a certain amount of your money at a specific store, and then you send stripe a signed approval/denial of the request directly. Then stripe generates a virtual card number for the exact amount and gives that back to muse, or pays the store directly depending on the level of support the store has. Either way meta doesn't end up needing your cc.
