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.

Googleās Gemini has told a user to āplease dieā and that they are āa stain on the universeā without provocation: https://www.reddit.com/r/artificial/comments/1gq4acr/gemini_told_my_brother_to_die_threatening/
The output:
all the replies anthropomorphizing the LLM cause it generated something creepy and they donāt know why arenāt surprising, but for some reason this one really pisses me off:
an LLM generating absolute garbage that happens to be abusive in some way is a lottery ticket event, is it? I had no idea lottery wins happened that fucking frequently
Yeah absolutely. This is happening right on the coattails of that Character.AI suicide too so itās not like a freak impossible to predict accident. I mainly posted it because it flies in the face of all the talk of AI safety and āresponsible AI practicesā.
Like Google says in their AI principles:
I donāt even care that much if Google wants to host a chatbot, but they keep trying to imply it has safety properties it doesnāt. Itās like writing a web framework without any HTML or SQL sanitation support and saying āWe will continue to develop and apply strong safety sand security practicesā¦ā and acting shocked when all the websites get hacked.
I guess including 4chan in the training data was a mistake.
Considering the user is trying to cheat on a test about elder care of all things, Gemini might have a point there
