> There are paid (micro) influencer campaigns going on and what not.

Extremely important to keep in mind when you read about LLMs, agents and what not both here, on reddit and elsewhere.

Just the other day I got offered 200 USD if I posted about some new version of a "agentic coding platform" on HN, which obviously is too little for me to compromise my ethics and morals, but makes it very clear how much of this must be going on, if me, some random user, gets offered money to just post about their platform. If I was offered that 15-20 years ago when I was broke and cleaning hotels, I'd probably take them up on their offer.

		Parent didn't mention Simon Willinson, and neither me nor parent appear to imply that _all_ people posting positively about LLMs are paid influencers, that'd be a ridiculous claim. It's just that there _are_ paid influencers, at every level, down to non-famous people getting a few bucks, and that's worth knowing. Here's one thing I quickly found on one of Anthropic's campaigns on LinkedIn: https://www.favikon.com/blog/inside-anthropic-influencer-mar...
