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.

"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.

    You know who else gets things done? Me. I do them for myself, because I'm a functioning adult.

    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.

    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...

    Does your coworker know python?

    Nope, but guess what? Neither do I.

    You can call me a hypocrite but I'm not totally anti-AI. I use VS Code (free through work) once in awhile as a tool to...make tools. Nothing is particularly advanced but neither are the things his AI agent does for him.

    I work in AutoCAD so they're mostly one-off LISP routines but part of my job is submitting the information in the drawing sets separately (device lists, bulk wire requirements, etc). I vibe coded a script that pulls that info and puts it in an Excel template. I have a similar one that does the reverse, pulling the parts list into AutoCAD from a bill of materials.

    Both took under 30 minutes and I've used them consistently for a year.
