"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.

Absolutely insane. If the account was inactive, sure or it was some no name band, ok. But really sucks to see it. I don’t see anything about it, but i hope they were at least compensated.

I managed to grab a nice 3 letter twitter name that ended up being the name of a company who just had twitter support (before twitter sucked) send me a message and they offered to buy it from me - reasonable price too. I wasn’t holding it for ransom, it also happens to be my initals too, and I just posted family shit, small links, activities, boring shit for friends. I didn’t care and it was still early enough I could get the same 3 letters with 2 numbers after. Walked away with a nice 5k pocket change. Had I declined it might have ended up in court, but this shit looks like the billionaires club just commanded it.
