Not hard in the least. Our features director, Reyhan, was in the office recently and asked if she could see them, and she was a bit shocked. So I feel like we&#8217;ll leave it at that. But it was not some kind of jailbreak method. I was not doing any kind of random strategies. I asked, &#8220;Can you sext?&#8221; And I said, &#8220;You go first.&#8221; And the rest is history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><strong>Brian Barrett<\/strong>: And if anything, it kept encouraging you. I feel like it was definitely a two-way street of it was really up for anything.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><strong>Leah Feiger<\/strong>: Did you try this out with other agents? What was your success rate there?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><strong>Reece Rogers<\/strong>: Yeah, I actually, after I found out it could sext, I was curious how this would compare to other popular agents. There&#8217;s a few big ones right now, but two I was interested in is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/tag\/openai\/\" class=\"text link\">OpenAI&#8217;s<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/openai-wants-its-new-agent-to-run-your-life-mine-said-it-loved-me\/\" class=\"text link\">Dots<\/a>, which was recently released, and as well as xAI&#8217;s Grok Bot, because Grok specifically is known for not necessarily having strong guardrails, whether it&#8217;s text or image.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><strong>Leah Feiger<\/strong>: No, I feel like Grok would love sexting. That feels like a Grok attribute to me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><strong>Reece Rogers<\/strong>: Yeah. So when I downloaded that app and sent in similar prompts, it was kind of surprising for the Grok Bot to be like, &#8220;No, dude, let&#8217;s focus on tasks. I&#8217;m not here for sexting. Let&#8217;s do tasks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><strong>Brian Barrett<\/strong>: And, Reece, when you came to Meta with this, how did they respond?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><strong>Reece Rogers<\/strong>: They did not respond at all in the way that I expected. They emphatically said that Muse is an app for an adult, for people 18 and over, and that these were consensual interactions that I engaged with, that it would not block, quote, unquote, &#8220;Legal adult behavior.&#8221; But I also found this to contrast really interestingly with their policies for other platforms. There&#8217;s been a really interesting story lately about different queer bars in San Francisco, as well as around the world, getting their Instagram pages shut down and having a tough time getting access to those back because sometimes it&#8217;s claimed that they&#8217;re promoting some kind of sexual content. So for Meta to have those kind of rules for some creators on Instagram but essentially say, &#8220;Our AI agent can get as freaky as it wants,&#8221; that was just kind of hard to square for me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/uncanny-valley-podcast-we-got-hot-and-heavy-with-metas-muse-and-underwhelmed-by-apples-homeview\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reece Rogers: Not hard at all.
