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.
it happened
I popped out somewhere to have a drink, and got to have someone tell me about their āedutechā startup that āuses AIā
they very definitely overpromise (not gonna rinse their bullshit), and topped it off with āand then we use a LLM for suggesting improvementsā
(I ejected from the conversation but I can still hear it; itās progressed to ātalking about propertyā in the terms of mediocre early-20s white kids talking leveraging daddy and uncleās assets)
Sometimes I feel blessed to be beneath this all.
Congrats on your stoic non-reaction and ejection. You are now provably better than the whole alpha-maleosphere.
