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.)
What the fuck did I just read? I had to double check the year.
I thought even the grifters had finally admitted that upscaling the chatbots wonāt lead to anything, and suddenly weāre back at spontaneous emergence of intelligence if we just throw enough shit at the wall?
What even is this? Hitting autocomplete on every word hoping it vomits out AGI by accident? That is certainly an opinion.
Did Sergey hit his head or something? He canāt seriously expert anyone to believe this at this point.
Iāve been wondering about this for a while. Do they really believe in this stuff or are they just so thoroughly out of ideas for āthe next thing that results in exponentially growing profitā that they just cling to it, while deep down knowing itās not actually real?
