Quoting John Gruber

# A quote from John Gruber Source: [https://simonwillison.net/2026/Sep/25/john-gruber/](https://simonwillison.net/2026/Sep/25/john-gruber/) 25th September 2026 > Muse is getting a lot of attention — including mine — because it’s both groundbreaking technically \(each user gets their own entire persistent Linux VM running in Meta’s cloud\)*and*because it’s packaged in an easy\-to\-install easy\-to\-use way\. It’s literally presented as[a cute mascot](https://daringfireball.net/linked/2026/09/24/song-meta-muse-cute)\. It’s the first consumer\-accessible agentic AI system, and Meta has truly done an amazing job with that\. But it’s a genuinely open question whether consumers have any understanding what this means\. If you buy a power saw that can cut your fingers off, you are almost certainly aware that you are buying a power saw that can sever your fingers\. \[\.\.\.\] I don’t think people realize how powerful — and thus dangerous — Muse is, especially if it’s running on your Mac\. —[John Gruber](https://daringfireball.net/linked/2026/09/25/aten-muse),Muse Looks Cute, but Looks are Deceiving
