Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)
Gotta love how the website isnāt even functional.
Its probably been vibe coded by the fucks behind the LLM, Iād be shocked if it was genuinely functional.
Sure maybe the āShowcaseā link doesnāt do anything, the āWatch videoā link goes to a password protected file, and none of the āLearn Moreā buttons do anything; but at least they tell you who invested in them as the very first thing on the page!
Also haha I clicked on the blog and this was at the top of the first post:
New use case for AI found: extracting money from venture capital without actually doing any real work.
@shapeofquanta @BlueMonday1984 thanks I hate it
