"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.
I'm starting to see the benefits of these federated services
"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 have issues with getting things done, called executive dysfunction. i tried AI for programming and felt myself getting dumber very quickly. nope, that's not it. better do it myself.
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?
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
someone should ask them directly
"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.
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.
Kinda meta of them
The one thing they can reliably get done is costing more than the value they provide.
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.
I mean he did pay $44bn for it 😂
Having the handle since 2008 and still not owning it says everything. Your account is only yours until the platform wants it back.
I never realized how crooked Zuck's nose is.
His nose is perfectly straight. Its the rest of him thats crooked.
The nose all those smart glasses wearing perverts deserve after being repeatedly punched in the face.
They could have just used 'museagent' for the new slop account and left Muse alone.
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.
