Against my better judgement, I’m thinking about it. This poll will make my decision for me. Do I eat crow and resub to Claude now that it’s back in Hermes Agent?

Wow. @PirateWires uncovers what everyone suspected: Jacob Coxon was propped up as a puppet by an AI Doomer PR firm Regulatory psyop confirmed.

I’ve seen a couple of posts about this so wanted to demystify. Today, every Muse user gets a free computer in the cloud. It's a real computer, and we’ve designed the security architecture of the Muse Secure VM carefully so you and your Muse can do almost anything you could with a computer sitting under your desk while keeping you and the system safe from threats like prompt injection. We wrote about this at length in our security blog post – security.muse.ai. Activity in the “runtime cell”, which you share with your Muse is unfettered, but sensitive actions are all overseen by the Sentinel, which runs outside of that cell. Similarly, all sensitive secrets - like the passwords you enter into Muse’s secure credential storage - are also stored outside the runtime cell. The runtime cell gets its own root filesystem (including a full Ubuntu linux image) separate from the host filesystem where your other more sensitive data lives. Because it is isolated from the sensitive stuff that runs on the same box, this means that we can, and do, offer users full visibility and control over the files in the runtime cell. Just as you can when you install Linux on your home computer, you can poke around and see all the files that make the system work - both debian system files and the binaries and data files that implement the parts of Muse which run in the runtime cell. This was a very deliberate choice - your Muse Secure VM truly is your own computer in the cloud. You can install software in it, write and compile code, use the browser to surf the web: it is your own Linux box that you can operate as you choose with your Muse. Poking around in this computer doesn't give you any privileged access to Meta infrastructure, or to other people's data If I may geek out a little here for a second… As a kid I loved to take things apart to see how they worked. As a teenager I got into computers and soon found myself drawn to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM and the system registry, later Slackware’s /dev/, /proc/ etc – I could see how the system was laid out and as I explored what DLL files and .so files actually did, I gradually became able to meld the computer to my own will. We’re really proud to be able to put a real computer in millions of people’s hands with a similar level of transparency. We built a file explorer right into the Library tab of the UI. We want you to be able to see the markdown files Muse writes while it thinks about how to serve you better, and explore the internals of the system if you’d like to. So, when you ask your Muse to show you its entire filesystem, and receive gigabytes of files you’re seeing the full contents of the runtime cell. It’s yours to explore and enjoy! If you’re not a geek like me, or simply want to download the data that you personally have created directly with your Muse, we added a feature for that too in Settings > Data controls > Download your agent data.

Web search in Hermes Agent is now fast and free. @perplexity_ai built Fast Search for agents, and it is free for all Nous Portal tiers.

Fast Search is now the default search in Hermes Agent for Nous Portal subscribers. It’s built for agentic tasks, with single-search-call latency of 160 ms at p50 and 230 ms at p95. Learn more: pplx.ai/hermes-fast-search

$META LAUNCHES AI GAME-BUILDING TOOLS Meta is launching Horizon Create and Horizon Studio, letting users build complete 2D or 3D games from AI prompts on mobile or in a browser. Games can then be published across Facebook and Instagram, where users can jump from a clip directly into a multiplayer session without downloading a separate app. Meta says the tools can generate gameplay systems, difficulty, art direction and multiplayer features, while still letting creators manually refine the experience. The rollout is part of Meta’s broader shift to make Horizon a mobile-first platform rather than primarily a VR product.

we're post economic anyways

Jensen Huang: “Now, if they say [that their models aren’t safe] … then I think the answer is that we have to shut the labs down.”
