"Muse anal probe users weren't told that the collected data was used to train AI" - stop using Meta products, you dimwits.

Company known for creepy unethical practices creates new product no one wants for even creepier and even less ethical practices.

Seriously, i couldn't care less if it was the most magnificant product in the world. If its from zuc the cuck I'll skip it.
