Wasn't something I expected -- seems to be related to having Wipr Extra enabled. Emailed the dev about it and will share if I hear anything back. For now I have it uninstalled and have not experienced this since. Recorded a video of enabling Wipr Extra and the auth page refreshing to show three random people, might be a pain to redact it but I can try to if people really don't believe me.

UPDATE:

I've tried selectively enabling and disabling Safari extensions and it seems to be related to the Wipr 2 content blocker.

Removing that. Caution to anyone else who uses it.

Apologies to Meta.

It’s my personal laptop that I’ve only ever used and reoccurs after clearing Safari history fully.

I don’t know how? I don’t have much of a Meta account to speak of, only the one tied to my Quest and that is 2FA to an Authenticator app.

Don’t know how it would cause Meta’s auth to show me other peoples accounts. I looked up some of the people and they seem to be other devs. It obfuscates email addresses but most are in a format that’s not hard to figure out [name] @ [name domain.com]

Just more Meta sloppiness from what I can tell.

Here is a screenshot of what I'm seeing: https://imgur.com/ciuNwCG

I don't know any of these people, it seems to be rotating through different accounts listed here.

Enough of a reminder to me that Meta is a sprawling surveillance apparatus (now increasingly vibe coded) that has always had a lax attitude toward people's privacy and data. Won't be touching this product based on this experience.

I don't use Meta much, but was curious to test this out... went to sign into my Meta account (Quest only) from the Muse Code site https://dev.meta.ai/products/muse-code and had other people's profiles listed in my login auth -- looks like developers / people I have no relation to.

Looks like Meta may be exposing your profile and email to other people right now. Accounts settings are inaccessible to me to deactivate my account. Getting spammed with login code requests that I'm not generating.

Anyway, be wary.

Cool product but I agree with others that their site does not really demonstrate the value proposition of the device in a clear way. You shouldn't have to watch the keynote to understand what it is.

I also have a hard time believing it will work as well as they say it does gen-1 at a $200 price point. I'm very skeptical.

The teenage engineering design is nice though, looks like something out of the movie Her.

Why not just start the meeting by asking people what they did that weekend? Take an honest interest in their life rather than having them... fill out an emotional intelligence wheel?

A lot of podcasters make money off of live shows and merchandise too.

If they had a large, devout audience, but couldn’t make money, it seems their main issue was relying on the wrong form of monetization.
