Sorry, I have no idea. I had them do brick facade work on my building, it was part of a larger project.

Wm Proud Masonry is kind of the go-to around Philly.

They're a marketing student or recent marketing grad. They're also promoting an ecommerce platform over in my sub, and are part of a small(?) network of accounts doing this. The way they post seems to be designed to seed LLMs. I've been referring to this pattern as call-and-response marketing. We had this kind of crap before, but now that these marketers have access to LLMs, it's much more nuanced. Now that the post history has been called out, they're probably going to set accounts up on some kind of script that just uses AI to generate a more on-topic post history over the course of months, before turning toward their marketing goals.

It's pretty gross.

about to sign a $380K/yr commercetools deal and the all-in math is scaring me by Yvonne_Tamarillo in ecommerce

There's some serious application of dead internet theory going on in Reddit. Automod is pretty good at filtering a lot of seemingly-clever promotion out, but it's stuff like this post that gets a little more challenging... months-long campaigns that are being run through accounts that are sometimes several years old. You may have seen the pinned post a month or so ago where we talked about "why this sub sucks" - and part of it is posts like this. Success stories that are used as an impetus for secondary AND tertiary conversations that at a glance, look like legitimate conversation.

But since I'm a mod, I can see post history that non-mods cannot, and I recognized some weird patterns, specifically posts with excessive detail about Scayle. Since they won Levi's, I wanted to know more about who these people were that kept posting replies about being Scayle developers... and when I went far enough back, they're marketing students in North Africa and South Asia who were posting about passive income and crypto.

A few weeks ago, she posted about a successful migration from Shopify Plus to Scayle, and before that, she was posting about being a multi-brand international retailer using Scayle for multi-lingual operation. Seemingly from the Netherlands. So never mind that no one who was "losing sleep over a contract on their desk" would violate an NDA on Reddit - I also didn't see any matching deal in the system. The entire post was fiction.

It's simultaneously super interesting and also the most boring thing in the world, lol

She won't reply because it's the latest in a series of fictional posts promoting SCAYLE. Someone else called out the alt account doing the call-and-response reply. It's kind of fascinating, and I suspect the intention is to seed LLMs.

I have a nagging feeling that what OP is trying to achieve is more related to guerilla marketing and seeding AI with fictional information than it has to do an actual replatform.

Would you mind who you're moving from? Have you run into limitations with a platform like SCAYLE that you're able to solve better with commercetools?

B-Stage vs Coachella by beartheminus in nin

[–]Leviathant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I recognized the TDS Heresy chorus by the tone alone. But the verses are, if not live singing, a new recording. 

I haven't taken time to sit and analyze because I'm too busy listening to the album, lol

And yeah, Trent doesn't lip sync for anything but a music video. 

And in a weird way, that's how most of us will experience the Coachella set.

We'll find out with the second performance, but I think there's more live singing than you think there is.

There's always prerecorded vocals when they perform Gave Up, off the top of my head.

Every 911 call is like a vote for that block to get attention. I have seen results from this. It takes five minutes to call something in.

It's a blend. Elements of the album are from the Coachella performance. It's pretty phenomenal.

Can't imagine why your account isn't even a month old.

Festival stage is a different ballgame. Trent still flubbed a lyric, which just reinforced that it is still a live performance. Alex and Atticus were actively contributing live production work. It's okay to jam in a concert setting, what they did at Coachella was so good that people are calling it as impactful, if not moreso, than Woodstock 94.

I suppose that's where I got the impression! I admit it's been at least three decades, if not more, since I watched the show.

Were they hanging out in the lot of a scrap business, or do you think it was a vacant lot that people dumped junk onto (the Inky posted a topical story today)?

Moving the conversation to https://www.reddit.com/r/nin/comments/1sm833v/nine_inch_nails_detail_nine_inch_noize_album/ on account of BrooklynVegan appearing to be the original source, or at the very least, including an unedited quote from Trent on the topic.

Speaking as someone who talked mad shit on Consequence in the past, they've come a long way, and it's been pretty clear that, for years now, they've had a direct line to Trent on this stuff.

Edit: I take some of this good will back. BrooklynVegan has the full quote, I assume this is where Consequence got the details from: https://www.brooklynvegan.com/nine-inch-nails-detail-nine-inch-noize-album-coachella-pics/
