You don’t have to but we don’t have time to get to know every single person in the world on a personal level, and the way someone looks can tell you a lot about them
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 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, 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 to clean up a bit so they didn’t destroy the reputation of all the other people who wear that same hat

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”.

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?

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 a useless tool that doesn’t do anything new for idiots
I’ve never once advocating for for anything. 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
I’m not even mad, you seem to be fuming though
- Comment on "influencers" are setting us back 1 week ago:
I just showed you that it’s popularity is increasing. It’s now in 88% of businesses. It’s not the Virtual Boy, it’s the Nokia or the iPhone
MP3 players didn’t go away, they just became a part of your phone. Handheld gaming didn’t go away, it’s one of the best selling consoles on the market. We went from VHS to Tivo to high-def streaming on demand; nobody just gave up having the ability to record movies and tv shows and then watch them at will
Yeah, cell phones existed but they were bulky, expensive, not very user friendly… then something happened and suddenly they were accessible to everyone and everyone jumped on it and never looked back. More and more people used them, the technology became a part of daily life, and it only got better over time; that’s AI
You think we’re all just going to stop using AI any day now just like we did with The Virtual Boy, The Zune, and Betmax. That’s not fucking happening. Those things were never even popular to begin with. AI is fucking everywhere and nobody is going to just wake up one day and stop using it. Yeah, the technology behind it will probably change a bit, get faster, get better… but what we refer to as AI, is here to stay
So yeah, you can hate it all you want but your anti-AI shit is going to look stupid as fuck in 20 years. Like the internet, it’s not a fad. And just how we laugh at people who claimed the internet was dumb, had no use, and would die off… that’s how we’ll laugh at people like you who think AI is, “entirely pointless” because it, “doesn’t do anything new”
lol

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 gaming 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
- Comment on "influencers" are setting us back 1 week ago:
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

- Comment on "influencers" are setting us back 1 week ago:
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?
- Comment on "influencers" are setting us back 1 week ago:
If you’re 37 and you still call people a shill that’s just sad
Weird you both think I’m an AI shill but also I’m not in the industry
- Comment on Yes, yes they are 1 week ago:
I’m not a historian but I believe the sad truth is that they saw them like animals; capable of being trained to do jobs but not smart enough to understand more complex issues or choose the tasks themselves
Like a dog. You can train your dog to guard your house or hunt birds but you probably don’t trust your dog to vote
It’s fucked up

This is what I’m talking about…
Deep Learning had a major breakthrough around 2012 with ImageNet. What we know today is already 14 years old. It wasn’t as good as it is today, or as accessible 14 years ago, but it was around. And people really think the world is just going to decide to forget we invented it any day now
- Comment on "influencers" are setting us back 2 weeks ago:
You say this, but I got banned from a sub for being a corporate shill for trying to explain to what I’m pretty sure was a 13 year old kid that AI is not going to dissapear and that it’s not just a fun toy used to make shitty TikTok videos
I would explain what AI Agents were and how they worked and what they did and I was told I was a troll that like to suck my bosses dick… and then I was banned
My job? Software engineer. Been one for over 20 years.
Those same people are probably here right now talking about how stupid it is that people don’t listen to experts…

This is a tough one because on one hand I’m old school I like to own physical things. Going to the music store and looking at, and then buying, CDs was my favorite. I like my CD and BluRay collection
On the other hand, it’s a waste of money and material to make a physical copy of something you can sell digitally. Plus you got to package it, ship it, etc…
It’s better for the environment if we don’t make physical products

- Comment on Sound of silence 2 weeks ago:
Where I live both are acceptable, but it depends on where you go
If you go to the “main beach” that’s where you bring music. You show off your body, you listen to loud music, you cruise, etc…
But if you go the “locals beach”, you show up looking like shit, keep your music down, and lots of people drink illegally but they do so low-key so while we all know they’re doing it, nobody cares
To me, both are acceptable. It kind of sucks to think there is no place at the beach where you can party
But it also kind of sucks to think that there is no place at the beach where you can actually enjoy the ocean
SO we have both, you just need to know where to go
