"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
The band Muse has surrendered its Instagram and X handles to Meta after the release of its new AI agent, Muse.
The English rock band Muse has been renamed on Instagram and X from “Muse” to “museband.”
Despite the band Muse having had its Instagram account since 2012 and its X account since 2008, it has seemingly surrendered the handle to Mark Zuckerberg’s newest AI agent.
Here's an idea, stop using Instagram and it will die.
Come at me.
I'm starting to see the benefits of these federated services
Just fucking ewww why they need to use and taint such general words with their filthy hands.
Capitalism and capitalists are the root of all evil. In socialist country it would be called "Yopeaiag 242" and be perfectly fine.
"Your personal AI agent that gets things done" must be this year's most uttered phrase.
I've yet to see it amount to much.
My work said last month that we need to use more AI. This week, they said to use the cheapest model and be more conservative. They also say to not trust the output without verifying it. Okay, then, wouldn't it be faster if I just did the work myself? And more accurate.
Fortune favors the fools.
You know who else gets things done? Me. I do them for myself, because I'm a functioning adult.
But if you do everything yourself then how will they steal your data? :(
I dunno, my buddy just set up cameras on his property and use Claude to write code to help them identify things (animals, his lawn mower, people), and then had Claude help him write a mobile app. I'm as anti-AI as it gets, but people absolutely use it and get value out of it.
Wow good thing he used Claude to do that because that definitely doesn't exist in any free and open source capacity already lol
I was more talking about the OpenClaw / This new Meta thing vertent of "Personal Agent" were you log all your accounts into it and it just "does things for you" on its own versus using AI to create an app.
My coworker was bragging about his AI agent automating a very tedious task for him... I've automated this task as well....with a python script. Works instantly, consistently, and doesn't need to connect to the Internet...
Maybe, but you have to hand over the keys to your entire digital life in order to let it try. What kind of idiot would give Fuckerburg access to every part of their life to make scheduling appointments a tiny bit easier?
But theyre also less accurate!
The (not) secret is that the thing they're getting done is mining you for data. :D
Probably Meta paid them off. I bet the band wasn't even involved, probably Meta negotiated with the marketing division of the record label.
Every one of those sites reserved the right to take your username for any reason. They don't need to pay them off, it's in the user agreement
As if pr isn't a thing
"Surrendered" is only applicable if the band had a choice.
Remember folks, calling out shitty wording is necessary to defeat propoganda.
I bet they got paid, but don’t want to disclose that. I hope it was enough to be worth it, and would be hilarious if they announced leaving the platform after the checks clear, but they probably won’t.
I never realized how crooked Zuck's nose is.
His nose is perfectly straight. Its the rest of him thats crooked.
You've at least seen how fucked up in the head he is right?
The nose all those smart glasses wearing perverts deserve after being repeatedly punched in the face.
Didn't he take up some fighting sport? maybe that's a consequence
Hope he receives more consequences
This is what you get when you use their platform. If muse and others used something they could control with their identity this wouldn't be a problem.
They don't actually use fbook/insta, you know that right?
It's a marketing tool for the band, that's all.
Honestly, I doubt any of the band have personal accounts on any social media
Clearly, Zuckerbot and Little Elon can do whatever they want in their businesses. I'm sure Elon had no problem handing it over.
Not to defend rich people, but the dude who had X since the beginning of time just had it taken from him. I assume the same thing happened here. They just woke up and were suddenly muse band. Mostly because I dont see Meta or any tech company ever asking for shit nowadays. Just smash and grab.
If they post something saying that, I 100% believe it. If not, I'm assuming they sold it.
Ya, given zuck doesnt own X the most probable answer is they cut a big fat cheque. Im sure we'll find out soon enough either way.
Having the handle since 2008 and still not owning it says everything. Your account is only yours until the platform wants it back.
They could have just used 'museagent' for the new slop account and left Muse alone.
Literally just call it "MuseAI".

If I had a prize to give, you would get it for that one
Just like the Gemini protocol vs Google Gemini.
