Meta put Muse on a Tamagotchi keychain with 5G
“Your personal superintelligence now lives on a keychain, has a face named Jolly, and still can’t dial 911.”
The Story
At Connect, Zuckerberg’s “one more thing” was Muse Charm: AirPods-case sized, ~2-inch screen, fingerprint tap, 5G, avatar “Jolly,” keychain form. It cannot make phone calls. Only a few units exist; Meta aims to ship by December holidays with no price announced. Pitch: talk to Muse without unlocking a phone.
Why It Matters
Distinct from Muse-the-app stories (human concierge, iMessage hallucination, Amazon block). This is the object: a pocket familiar. Internet culture already hates AI amulets; Meta shipped the corporate Tamagotchi anyway.
