I gave an AI coding agent permission to cheat. It said no.

So I built MergeGuard, solo, in 1 day at the AIE Code Summit hackathon. It checks AI-written code before it merges.

Real tests decide, not the AI.

The part we've all been waiting for!!!!!!!

#MetaAIHackathon

[Pamela Villalon @carelessluck]

@usephysicalmcp Try it yourself at https://t.co/aQaVrloAb1: drag the rig apart, replay a run on the timer, and be the human who holds Approve before it starts.

Built with @bhavisha_ahuja for #MetaAIHackathon

[Bhavisha Ahuja @bhavisha_ahuja]

@usephysicalmcp We also built a site for you to try it out live: https://t.co/bu6aVfHNLd

[Bhavisha Ahuja @bhavisha_ahuja]

a kitchen timer, a webcam, two tiny servos and Meta’s models. that’s the whole rig. tonight you get to see it actually run

#MetaAIHackathon

[Bhavisha Ahuja @bhavisha_ahuja]

we gave a kitchen timer an API with a webcam and a $3 servo

what machine in your life should we try next?

[Bhavisha Ahuja @bhavisha_ahuja]

@raedle @carelessluck so cool to see this here, thank you @raedle!! built this with @carelessluck <3
More coming soon!!!!!!!!

🧵 (20/22)

Physical MCP by @carelessluck is an API for machines that don't have one. A camera and SAM 3.1 find the controls, Muse Spark plans the action, and a robot finger presses the button.

honored to be in this 🙏

a webcam, SAM 3.1, Muse Spark and a $3 servo. the AI asks a human before it presses anything risky

full demo dropping soon

[Physical MCP @usephysicalmcp]

Say hi to Physical MCP👋

SAM 3.1 + Muse Spark+ Muse Spark Open (Baseten) +human approves

Built in 9 days for the #MetaAIHackathon by @carelessluck & @bhavisha_ahuja

Would love for you to check out: https://t.co/yOtSrdHb8C

@bhavisha_ahuja @usephysicalmcp @AIatMeta @MetaforDevs @cerebral_valley @baseten It was a nightmare! So glad we finally got it to work by repositioning, adjusting angles and holding for 1 second

[Bhavisha Ahuja @bhavisha_ahuja]

@usephysicalmcp @carelessluck @AIatMeta @MetaforDevs @cerebral_valley @baseten fun fact: the hardest part wasn’t the AI, it was the timer. 250 ms presses didn’t register and 2 sec ones auto-repeated, so the finger holds for exactly 1 second

[Physical MCP @usephysicalmcp]

I guess it's time you guys meet the rig

Stay tuned for the demo, will be posting it tonight

#MetaAIHackathon

[Physical MCP @usephysicalmcp]

Moved the approval check into the press tool itself today.

The AI can plan whatever it wants. If a step is risky, the finger can’t move until a human holds down approve.

#MetaAIHackathon

[Physical MCP @usephysicalmcp]

New rule in our build: anything that turns something ON has to be a press and hold. A tap won’t do it, even if the AI scores it low risk.

What’s a button in your life that should have needed a long press?

[Physical MCP @usephysicalmcp]

Most machines in the world don’t have an API.

We gave one a finger.

At @prof_oz’s Fireworks workshop for the Meta hackathon, one result stuck with me.

Muse Spark Open scored best at LOW reasoning effort (88.5). High effort dropped it to 81.8.

More thinking costs more and isn’t always better. Measure it per task.

Next up: our risk scorer.
