I built an AI Tamagotchi before Meta could
TL;DR
Mark Zuckerberg's Meta made AI look so stinking cute by giving it a squishy little face - and this holiday season, he wants to sell you a Muse Charm so you can carry your jolly AI helper around like a Tamagotchi. But I won't be buying one, because we have Muse Charm at home. It cost just $50, and I've decided the learning experience was worth it. View Link My version doesn't sport cameras or a 5G cellular radio, but it really talks to Muse and has cute avatars, too!
Nauti's Take
For small teams, this is a useful prototype test: verify response latency, avatar feedback, and device permissions in real daily use. Smart home control should begin with tightly limited actions and a manual fallback.
Since the evidence currently comes from a single Verge report, the Muse Charm’s durability, privacy model, and practical value remain unverified.
