  • OpenAI unveiled a new AI agent called Dots at its DevDay and said it wants to set a new standard for privacy in frontier AI.1
  • Meta launched Muse as a supposedly safer successor to OpenClaw, with Mark Zuckerberg and Meta staff emphasizing privacy and security design.1
  • Meta describes Muse user data as stored on a secure, isolated Linux virtual machine with a browser, CPU, memory, and storage.1

  • Nat Friedman wrote that Muse’s goal was to be like OpenClaw but safe, secure, easy to use, and scalable to billions of people.1
