Jason Aten

So either Jason's details are a little hazy and not precise, or Meta is shipping and targeting a very, very serious exploit of macOS that Apple has so far not fixed.

which if you go by Occam's razor law, the simplest explanation is that JSON actually granted FDA access to Muse and then maybe disabled it.

But that initial grant was enough for Muse to ingest and read the iMessage database.

Right,

Yeah.

And I will point to friend Jason Aten has...

His, this article has been blowing up everywhere.

Yeah, yeah.

But it is a permission that was, uh, that Muse was able to request and many users did grant.

And so the, uh, Inc. columnist Jason Aten reported that Meta Muse app knew the contents of his private messages without, according to him, having him having granted permission.

Now, Meta does dis-dispute that claim, um, but it is worth noting that, you know, messages are actually, if y- if you've got access to messages on your system, they are written to a file somewhere on your file system, and it is possible that Muse could pick them up and, uh, potentially use some of the tools that are also on your system or things like certificates on your system to decrypt them.

And so the interesting thing from the Apple statement is the following quote, "As AI agents become increasingly capable and autonomous, the risks associated with this level of access will grow substantially," end quote.
