Turns out, Meta’s AI agent Muse goes well beyond managing your calendar: it will also sext with you. This week on Uncanny Valley, Brian Barrett and Leah Feiger are joined by WIRED reporter Reece Rogers to discuss how he put it to the test—and ended up getting more than he bargained for. Plus, why the largest pro-AI super PAC network is funneling millions into shadowy LLCs, how Apple’s new HomeView underwhelmed us, and a study that found men tend to overestimate how much they actually know about AI.
