- Meta Muse accused of profiling users' friends and contacts
The Verge published a commentary on October 15 criticizing Meta's AI personal assistant Muse for requesting access to bank accounts, passwords, contacts and chat logs, and for drawing in information about users' friends and family. Meta spokesperson Daniel Roberts said Muse builds context from public information and from what users choose to share, such as remembering that the person who sent an invoice is the plumber hired earlier. Critics including Signal Foundation president Meredith Whittaker questioned whether users can make informed choices about others' data, and the report cited Wired saying security researchers who extracted Muse's operating instructions found an internal process that compiles and updates profiles of everyone in a user's life hourly.
The Verge AI · 🔥 0 - AI coding turns apps into disposable, single-purpose tools
An analysis republished with authorization by TMTPost describes a wave of micro apps, personal apps and "fleeting apps" built with AI coding tools that serve one person or a few people, with no funding, growth targets or DAU — some need no second user at all. The piece cites Lovable saying it had created more than 50 million projects by June, adding about 1 million a week then, and that annualized revenue exceeded $600 million in September, plus a Zapier survey of 818 US employees in which 34% had no formal programming background. The author also points to Apple App Review Guideline 2.5.2, which requires apps to be self-contained and bars downloading code that changes their features, noting Replit and Vibecode updates were blocked and Anything was pulled from the App Store twice.

ZDNET editor David Gewirtz handed a 30-year-old Macromedia Director icon file to Claude, which extracted 2,000-plus PNGs in minutes, then used Claude Code and Claude Desktop to build the Mac app Icon Gallery '97: 30th Anniversary Edition. He submitted it to Apple on Sept. 27 and it was accepted and live on the App Store four days later. He stresses this was not one magic prompt: he issued 502 directives to Claude Code across four days of active interaction.
