tl;dr: Meta has released open source SDKs (Apache 2.0) for building DIY "Muse" gadgets on ESP32 boards or Linux devices like the Raspberry Pi, letting hackers wire up displays, mics, speakers, and sensors to their Muse AI assistant. Example builds include a Home Assistant integration on Pi, an HDMI stick for TVs, e-ink displays, and various small ESP32 touchscreen devices. Source code and firmware are available on GitHub, with a Discord community for collaboration.
HN Discussion:
  • ~Cool tech and fun DIY idea, but distrust of Meta prevents adoption
  • ↓Outright rejection due to Meta's privacy practices and data harvesting concerns
  • ↑Genuinely positive about the SDK as an enthusiast hobbyist project
  • ↓SDK restrictions (tokens, device limits) undermine the 'make it your own' promise
  • •Meta's strategy of taking risks competitors won't is a noteworthy approach
