On "Meta is making a standalone Muse AI gadget"

Meta shipping a standalone Muse device is a bet that AI agents need physical presence to matter, which misreads how people actually adopt new tools. Nobody asked for a dedicated gadget when you can already talk to an AI through your phone, headphones, or existing wearable—the friction Meta thinks it's solving isn't real friction. For search and discovery, this matters because it signals Meta still doesn't grasp that distribution wins on integration, not hardware novelty. If Muse ever becomes useful, people will find it on whatever surface is already in their pocket.
