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.
Yes of course I have a phone number, I also have an email address and a PO box and a slack account etc. but I'm not going to be the guy expecting people to go out of their way to use a different messaging system just to message me, because what would just happen is my friends just bother to talk to me less. Especially if it's someone I've just met who doesn't have an existing relationship to me.
Do you really think your friends and family don’t like/love you enough to install an app for you, like Signal, or wouldn’t bother to open any other messenger? Just think about it for a moment. That would be very sad and is probably not true.
My best friend of 15 years? Yes, they would install a new app to talk to me. The guy I met 2 days ago at an event, probably not, no.
Like do you not understand how people meet new people and develop as friends?
Then there's the issue of group chats.
It's really just infinitely easier to just stay on Instagram
If it's just you? Yeah, you're just going to be forgotten and left out.
LMAO Those arnt good fucking friends then eh?
People who only talk to you because it is convenient are not friends. Also, group chat from your number is a thing. Very odd someone would pick instagram of all places to communicate with people as a main.
