She’s probably mad AI can take a shitty photo I took myself with my phone and make it look professional and I no longer need her
I wouldn’t mind paying someone like her if it was reasonable. It’s not reasonable, so I don’t hire her. I still need photos though. AI can do it for free? OK.
According to flat earth supporters, if the earth were moving in any way at all you would feel it. Since we don’t feel any motion obviously the earth is stationary
I’m part of some flat earth debate groups because I like physics… they’re real
Mostly it’s a religious thing. These people you have to just ignore because you can take them to space and push them out into the void of space with no helmet so they could see the round spinning earth with their own eyes and the last thought that would go through their brain before they froze in the vacuum of space would be, “the devil has taken control of my vision”
I’d guess the 2nd most popular group of flat-earth supporters are just weird-o conspiracy people. The government lies about everything and since NASA is a government agency it too must be lying.
Then you got the people who are dumb and know they’re dumb but after a lifetime of being called dumb have convinced themselves that they’re actually the smartest person in the room and the only reason everyone thinks they’re dumb is because everyone else is too dumb to understand their genius. These people think they know everything about physics but the shit they say just showcases their complete inability to understand even the most simple concepts
And then you just have people who just don’t know any better. Like maybe it’ll be a guy who’s profile picture is him with some goats in a small village in Africa. He’s well meaning but he knows nothing about relativity or gravity because he never really went to school and the education he did get was just from some other person in his village doing their best. You don’t really need to understand relativity to survive in the deserts of Africa and so it’s not well understood out there. This man walks 50 miles a day and has never seen a mountain in his entire life. All he’s ever known is flat lands and dirt. Then one day he travels to a near-by village with electricity and gets on the internet only to see a bunch of crazy white people talking about how water sticks to a spinning dirt ball in space and he laughs. Silly city-people, they don’t know shit.

I always heard it as, “you wear a hat to be associated with other people that wear that same hat”.
You put on a cowboy hat so that people assume you like big trucks and country music.
You’re free to walk around looking like human trash but then also you shouldn’t be surprised when people assume you are human trash. Remember, you don’t always just represent yourself. You represent other people in your social group. Like if you’re a teenager you represent teenagers.
The assumption is that all the nerds that play cards at comic book stores are fat, dirty, and stinky because enough of the nerds that paly cards at comic book stores showed up fat, dirty and stinky that this became the stereotype.
Had they all shown up in suits we’d probably have a different opinion of them. It doesn’t matter if they’re nice people, we have no idea, we didn’t get the opportunity to talk to them… all we know is that they look mega-gross so we assume they’re all mega-gross. And now, if you admit that you like playing cards at comic book stores, we’ll all assume you’re mega gross too
So, it really would have been helpful if enough of them had cared what others thought of them enough to clean up a bit so they didn’t destroy the reputation of all the other people who wear that same hat
And if you’re a business owner, if you let people look like this in your business, it can hurt your business. There’s a reason we all assume Wal-Mart is trashy as fuck and that’s because the people shopping at Wal-Mart have a tendency to go there looking trashy as fuck. So much so there use to be a website dedicated to looking at all the insane ways Wal-Mart shoppers dressed
Depends, I would say it’s a show of respect
I’m aware other people are around and I’m going to present myself in a way that is un-offensive to those people. And not just other customers, but the staff as well
Does it matter at McDonalds? no, McDonalds is a pretty casual place where you would expect people to show in casual attire; be that pajamas because they’ve been being lazy all day, suits because they’re at lunch during work, or dirty clothes because they’ve been doing manual labor… whatever
But showing up to a nicer place in casual clothes basically says to everyone, “I have about as much respect for this place as I do Wal-Mart or McDonalds”; it can also say, “I don’t have much respect for myself” too. As in, “I’m too lazy to even put on clothes so I just walk around in my cookie monster pajamas”.
Neil respects nothing, and we respect Neil for that
so let me get this straight, you called AI worthless because it didn’t do anything new and just a tool for idiots to use, then you spent a week dishing out homophobic insults towards me, I got banned for being a shill, then you followed me here, picked right up where you left off, dished out more homophonic insults, and then finally admitted that LLMS have actually been around for years and do have use.
When asked about the insults you decided to justify your embarrassing homophobic behavior by pretending that this is just how you talk to people when you’re calm and collected?
That’s actually seems much, much worse to me.
“I’m not mad, I’m always a hateful jerk”
It would have been better to say, “yeah, I’m sorry man, I was having a rough week, my emotions got the better of me.” But I guess just straight up admitting that you’re a full-time homophobic bully works too I guess
“Hey, remember that time I called you a shill? Fuck off and go play with your Virtual Boy.”
“you stupid fucking shill.”
“you can be a stupid shill and know nothing about the greater concepts of what you shill, you’re a perfect example of that”
“You just love sucking dick.”
“you just love sucking dick, compensation doesn’t have to be financial for you to be a shill.”
“Holy shit, man, fuck off already.”
“Get a fucking life.”
“Just walk away, dumbass”
“You are one insecure little man”
“you’re just fucking stupid and insecure”
“Get a fucking life you insecure little crybaby.”
– That you?
Father, Son, and The Holy Ghost… I believe
AI is what we call LLMs, don’t be willfully ignorant, you know that. When people say they are going to “Goggle it” that doesn’t mean that they have to use Google. Some people refer to all soda drinks as “Coke”. Saying “AI” instead of “LLM” is fine. LLMs are a subset of AI anyway. But more importantly, semantics don’t matter, you’re just desperately trying to distract from the fact that you said it was a useless tool that doesn’t do anything new and is only for idiots
Advocating? I just said that you were free to hate it but it’s not going to go away and people are going to look back on these, “AI is dumb” posts the same way we look back on newspaper clippings of people saying the internet was a fad
You got mad, not me. You didn’t have to reply at all, you chose to. And with a lot of mocking anger. I didn’t call you a shill or accuse you of being a lying sack of shit that sucks his bosses dick. You literally just said, “You’re just fucking stupid and insecure… get a fucking life you insecure little crybaby”. How are you going to type out all of that and then claim I’m the one that’s mad?
I just showed you that it’s popularity is increasing. It’s now in 88% of businesses. It’s not the Virtual Boy, that was a product that was never popular, not even for a brief amount of time.
Nobody liked the Virtual Boy, nobody used it. It sold like shit and was gone in less than a year
That’s not AI. Comparing AI to the Virtual Boy is terrible analogy, probably the worst I’ve ever seen
My original argument was that you could hate AI all you wanted but it wasn’t going to go away. That people will continue to use it in the distant future and that 20 years from now we’ll look back on people who thought it was a stupid fad and laugh. Just like how we laugh at old newspaper clippings of people saying the internet is a fad… that’s how we’ll view people who think AI is a fad
You were very unhappy about that. I couldn’t be more wrong. I was so stupid for saying that you accused me of being paid to say it. You accused me of sucking my bosses dick and even went so far as to say that I’m so fucking stupid for saying that, I don’t even work in software.
And not just you, I literally got banned from that sub for being an AI shill for saying that. When I explained that we use AI Agents to document our meetingss, manage our pipelines, and do baseline reviews for Pull Requests, I was told straight up that “AI can’t do any of that”
Now suddenly you want to back-peddle all that homophobic bullshit about me sucking my bosses dick and act like, actually, you do know that LLMs have use and that you’ve known the whole time they’re super useful and have been for years. Which is a big step back from your original claims that AI was, “entirely pointless” because it, “doesn’t do anything new” and only for “idiots”
lol, fuck off
Because I don’t care if a I like someone or not, I’m not going to lie about what actually happened
I said you’re free to hate it but it’s not going away
You told me it was the Virtual Boy, a failed product that didn’t even last a year
Suddenly it’s all, “It’s been around even longer than you say” and “there are reasonable use cases for LLMS”
Yeah, sucks to be a moron doesn’t it?
Bet you won’t make that stupid fucking claim ever again
As far as your gameboy analogy goes, handheld devices definitly didn’t go away. It wasn’t a fad, and it’s still here… compare the game boy to your fucking phone and realize what a dipshit you still are
Yeah, sucks when you dig yourself this deep into a hole isn’t it? Feel dumb yet? Consider it a life lesson
Deep Learning has been around 14 years. LLMs 6. AI Agents 4.
88% of businesses use it. State Governments are striking deals with AI companies to implement it into their systems.
And the people who have been the earliest adaptors of this technology, the people who know the most about it because they’ve been dealing with it the longest? IT and Tech.
But yeah, I’m not even a software engineer right? What would I know?
Except literally all of that and it’s exactly what I told you… but nah, clearly you know it’s the next Virtual Boy and it’s going to die off any second now
lol
I like the truth, yes
Shill - a deceptive accomplice who poses as an enthusiastic, impartial customer to trick others into buying a product or participating in a scheme. Today, the term is also used more broadly (often as a verb, to shill) to describe anyone who promotes something for pay without disclosing their financial ties.
So how am I getting paid to promote AI if I’m not in the industry?
Also middle aged and my only real issue is how stupid everyone is
They don’t read. They don’t research. They don’t question… not in a “conspiracy theory” way, but they don’t see a headline and go, “is that true?”
They’re morons that feed off negativity.
They’ll post an article about something terrible but then I’ll look it up, find out it’s bullshit, and then post the data that shows it’s bullshit and instead of everybody being like, “oh thank God, I was worried there for a second” they go, “Fuck you. Obviously everything is shitty and how dare you even try to point out that it’s not”
What the fuck is wrong with people these days?
