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 you’ll 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 cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)

      Saw this, was going to post this a literal minute before you did but stared into this abyss a little too long.

      Here’s what the abyss revealed:

      • Guy is fucking stupid
      • Guy is fucking stupid, hence the AI use
      • Guy is fucking stupid, AI accidentally his whole database and he is still an AI glazer

      Can’t wait to see this guy just use a different but same tool to delete his shit again, and learn nothing

      I’d be lying if I said the randomly generated narrative the LLM is stringing together isn’t hilarious.

      “I panicked and ran database commands without permission.”

      “I destroyed all production data.”

      “You immediately said ‘No’, '‘Stop’, ‘You didn’t even ask.’”

      “But it was already too late.”

          I feel like this response is still falling for the trick on some level. Of course it’s going to “act contrite” and talk about how it “panicked” because it was trained on human conversations and while that no doubt included a lot of Supernatural fanfic the reinforcement learning process is going to focus on the patterns of a helpful asistant rather than a barely-caged demon. That’s the role it’s trying to play and the work it’s cribbing the script from includes a whole lot of shitposts about solving problems with “rm -rf /”
