Meta's Muse AI mirrors OpenClaw's success

meta's muse ai was heavily inspired by openclaw, an open-source project, and built from scratch to scale to billions of people. nat friedman, head of product at meta's superintelligence labs, confirmed the inspiration, stating that the team fell in love with openclaw and wanted to create something similar. muse's system files and soul.md configuration have similar names and content to openclaw's. this raises questions about ai development and copying, with some speculating that meta copied openclaw's best features.
