One More Note on Agents, Meta Connect, Meta Enterprise Platform
Thompson begins with the case that conversational agents reduce friction for ordinary smartphone users, then reads Meta’s latest device announcements as multiple ways to deliver its Muse agent. The same week Meta announced a new enterprise platform. He objects that consumer distribution, playful use and private context differ sharply from enterprise sales and controls; he cites his long-running disagreement with the ‘one identity’ assumption. He considers the arguments that work is part of life and that enterprise revenue helps pay for costly AI, but favors starting with small businesses instead of a full-scale enterprise strategy.
Meta’s own September 28 announcement supports the existence of the initiative and names products, not their adoption or business result. Neither a vendor promise of privacy nor this critique shows whether one agent can separate tenants, customer roles and private context in actual engineering and support workflows; measuring wrong-context actions and successful authorization would move the question.
