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
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…
It’s a great tool… and it’s only getting better.
But more importantly, it’s not going away. You can hate it until the sun explodes but this technology exists now and the world isn’t just going to forget about it. Your best bet is to figure out how to use it efficiently so that you don’t end up the guy that pushes shitty AI code and instead the guy who was able to get a lot done by using AI in a meaningful way and produce good work

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
Because while everyone is assuming this is a tweet by just some guy who keeps running into Americans at the Pub who tell him about how great life is after moving, in reality he’s a business owner making a sales pitch
Knowing it’s a sales pitch, do you still believe he regularly runs into Americans who moved to Italy? Or do you think maybe he’s just making that up to try to sell his business to Americans?
That’s choice is up to you I guess, but at least now you know
Sure but… does he keep meeting Americans that moved and didn’t know life could be that way though?
More than one thing can be true at a time but while this reads like just some guy who keeps going to the local pub and meeting Americans who talk about how great life is after moving, in reality he’s a business man making a sales pitch.
It’s kind of working too. The amount of people here who didn’t think to research who this guy is and just took his word for it is… something.
I’m not saying the guy is a grifter, I don’t know. I don’t know if he’s right or wrong. My point is to make people aware this is a sales pitch not a genuine observation. And it’s a sales pitch by a “spiritual guru”, for what that’s worth
Personally, the US is a big place and so culture varies state-to-state. Where I live, people don’t ask you what you do for a living when you first meet them
This guy is a weird spiritual business guru. This post isn’t an observation on modern American life, it’s one of his many posts that try to sell you on his business where he claims that he can teach you how to monetize your passions and not have to actually work
“freedom of speech is not freedom from consequence”
If you did it for free, what boss is replacing you?
Why can’t you just keep doing it?
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
OH NO!
Anyway, who cares?
If this is the shit you care about you need to spend less time on your phone
who’s done this for the entire season and uploaded it to YouTube?
Mine was hacking
Visually it looks like it’s navigating a maze but 90s films taught me that when it finds the skull in the center of the maze it’s successfully hacked the government
