That’s all I want to do

If I paid for it either on disc or something like Amazon I would like to DL a copy I can keep

I’m not trying to download the summer blockbuster currently at the movies or anything. I’m not trying to just download a million movies and have a massive collection I never watch. I just want backups of the films I already paid for

Which is a small handful of films I bought so I could one day watch them with my kid when they’re a bit older

“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?

do i need to use a VPN or anything?

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

“it’s a fad”

I like the truth, yes

That’s not what the film is about though… spoilers ahead

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?

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

“By the 2020s, conservatives were dying at significantly higher rates than liberals, with the gap concentrated in internal causes (for example, heart disease, cancer and stroke). The divide since 2020 is substantial: while only 0.2% of ‘very liberal’ respondents died of internal causes between 2020 and 2022, the probability for people who identified as ‘very conservative’ was 1.14 percentage points higher (P = 0.021; 95% confidence interval (CI), (0.18, 2.11)). This gap is not limited to deaths from COVID-19 and is not reducible to demographic or geographic differences between the groups, nor is it a pure function of ageing: previous cohorts’ death patterns in older data did not show a similar correlation between health and ideology before 2010.”

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

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 that called me a troll, a shill, a company man that liked to suck my bosses dick; the mods that banned me; they are all probably here right now talking about how stupid it is that people don’t listen to experts…
