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.
(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this)
good luck! it sounds like youāre coming in remarkably well-prepared, so unless theyāre gonna go fingers-in-ears (and it sounds like the PMās better than that), youāre at least likely to make an impact
between this and all the SEO on OpenAIās marketing horseshit and breathlessly parroted press releases, itās exhausting to find good sources for how any of this stuff actually works in reality. shit, Iāve had old primary sources on things like Sora get buried after OpenAIās promises didnāt pan out. Iām hoping you can find what you need ā our back archives might have a few links if you havenāt searched through here yet.
Kinda nervous about it, not gonna lie. Really appreciate the positive vibes!
