Muse – Meta’s personal AI agent

#392I think Meta's strategy is to capture the 'normie-tier' of AI users. I know most of us here on HN track model releases quite frequently and discuss every parameter weight out of them, but most of the world is just... oblivious? I was discussing latest in tech with an accounting friend out of curiosity, and I kept talking about tiers of GPT-5.6 (Sol vs Terra vs Luna) and asked which one she used on the desktop 'Work'…
I think of my mom who doesn't care and doesn't understand the difference between google AI Overview vs actual google search results. "I looked it up" - she doesn't care what tool she is using she just wants answers to how long bake pork or the best throw pillows to buy or whatever else she is looking up. She's mostly using google AI tools because it's easy and free and on her landing page.
My mom texted me the following when Windows did some big update integrating AI and probably had one of those menu bar popups announce it:
“Sharkweek, my computer says it has AI on it now!?? Yikes! What does that mean?”

> "just ChatGPT, what is Sol?." i'd really like to see some analytics on what proportion of users have ever switched the model in chatgpt because I anecdotally believe it is < 5%
I didn't even know you could. Work pays for ChatGPT and I just assumed it is what it is.

Yes! Though I mainly use it for one-shotting full files, so I'm not copying over small diffs. I did try copilot at some point in vscode, but after a week or so I felt like it was slowing me down. Something I knew would be a simple and quick change was now slow since I didn't have enough ownership of the code to do it quickly myself, and prompting for the change took longer than changing it manually if I had had full…
Using ChatGPT.com for coding tasks has to be a joke in 2026, right? I assumed everyone is using Codex/Claude Code/OpenCode/Pi by now if you’re using these tools.
At my admittedly very tiny workplace, I'm the only one who uses agents at all. The rest just use the web interface, though one tried cursor for a bit.

You are playing games. You implied that people's feelings for FB would prevent people from being the target audience. Clearly that isn't true. Now you're hyper focusing on how people feel about FB, and not whether it precludes them from being the target market. Convenient. And before you respond saying "I never said they aren't the target market, just that they hate FB". To which I say, reread the damn conversation.…
I'm not playing games. All I said to enter this thread was: > I don't think normies have a positive association with meta. And a bunch of you guys contested this for some reason.

Re: Muse – Meta’s personal AI agent
#397It's still very obvious that they have come up with genuine killer usecases for agents for normal life admin. Like this is the best they can do? "Tickets just opened for the movie you're tracking. 4:30 PM or 7:30 PM. Interesting?"
Had codex organise my music collection yesterday. I think it'll do my quarterly reporting soon as well. Indeed a pretty lame example they used.

I think you're right, but I'd add that... if this wasn't obvious to you without being told, you should really question your worldview a bit. A lot of people think that chat.com is an AI called "chat". Most people don't know acronym "LLM". Most people don't know about the existence of companies called "OpenAI" or "Anthropic", or that they are worth a lot of money. Etc.
TIL openai owns chat.com
I hung out with my parents this weekend and heard them talking about "chat", as a noun. I assumed they were talking about ChatGPT; there being a literal chat.com makes sense why they'd call it that.

I'm a coder and a daily driver of ChatGPT and I don't really know what Sol is or how I can access it. I follow discussions here and know of its excistence, but I can't remember its relation to other models or tiers by heart. What ever the default thing the website is giving me has been good enough for my needs for years.
Do you... code by copy pasting chatgpt web???
That's what I do. But I don't write enough code these days to spend time on anything more complicated. For the odd shell script or python program I have ChatGPT write it, then I copy/paste it, make it actually work, and deploy it.

#400The inline browser the agent uses that you can take control of or watch is awesome! This is something I built a lot of tools to do in the past year (including a similar inline UX/image + click pass through) but having it Just Work in a remote, fully managed client for free is extremely convenient and useful. But… this feels like a UX that won’t last once a significant portion of consumers and purchases adopt it. Eith…
I think ChatGPT work (web) uses the client browser for browser use, butn not sure. So it should be possible.
