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.

      Sure if hundreds of millions stop using it. But convincing the uncritical masses to stop using it is a fruitless endeavour. Not to mention all the racists and homophobes and attention seekers it seems to attract.

      And for me it’s my only way of communicating with many of my friends

        A big joke around here is you can send me a carrier pigeon. But aside from this, do yall not have phone numbers? Your main form of communication with your friends is through instagram and it’s the only way?

          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.
