A key component of the Cambridge Analytica outrage was your friends subjecting you to data theft without your consent or knowledge. Facebook is running the same playbook on your text messages. Even if you’re not on Meta properties, they’re ingesting your interactions.
Aten installed Muse on both his iPhone and a Mac mini that he uses to test out various Al agents and tech. It took Meta a single day to begin "helpfully" pitching article ideas based on texts he'd sent to a podcast co-host.
When he asked Muse how it got the information, it said that it read banners from incoming texts. But that's not true, either.
After doing a little digging, Aten says Muse synced 187,000 lines from his Messages database, despite Full Disk Access being Off.Unless Aten is the most popular person on the face of the planet, I sincerely doubt he'd gotten 187,000 lines of text in roughly 24 hours. What happened is that, without permission, Muse went into the app and downloaded the information.
He had not given Muse permission to access Messages, and full disk access was not enabled. It just went ahead and uploaded those texts anyway.
Muse can take "unexpected actions" indeed.

Trump's foreign policy is not isolationist. On the contrary, his ideologues want to build an international empire run by far-right political movements who serve American crypto, mineral and tech companies, many with links to the president. Read more here: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

The challenge as I see it: 1) making sure the election isn’t stolen; 2) cementing this unpopularity not as a unique Trump feature, but as an intrinsic part of the Republican brand. Republicans must be made equal to failure, corruption, incompetence, cruelty, and authoritarianism in the public mind.

I grew up evangelical; I graduated from Wheaton College (IL) and I remember thinking, even as a 20-somethng kid, that all the Great Men Of White Evangelicalism, all the pastors and speakers who regularly appeared at our four-times-a-week-attendance-required chapel services, were such small, mediocre men who could never compete or be great outside of the White evangelical bubble. The only thing that's changed over the years is the White Evangelicalism and the GOP got married, so the bubble got bigger and better funded. But man, the mediocrity, the smallness, the weirdness is so real. Honest to God, these men are so pathetic they really do NEED a federal government doing socialism on their behalf to be able to compete in any way.

3. Examples:
• "Trump has kept most of his super PAC money on the sidelines, causing Republican leaders to conclude it’s too late to fully deploy the cash in the midterms and that he intends to hold on to much of it for his own purposes."

• "Trump’s political advisers have been assuring anxious allies that MAGA Inc., the president’s super PAC that had more than $400 million on hand as of July 31, will come to the rescue ... But Republicans are increasingly skeptical and suspicious that Trump — who must personally approve the spending — has other ideas."

• "Some people around Trump have concluded that he has little interest in spending the bulk of his super PAC funds on this year’s midterm races."
