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.

Lol, Ed Zitron is a one person neo-luddite machine.
His entire website is one continuous anti AI spam.
Which is fine…but I was trying to find out why #chatgpt5 launch was a failure, according to him. But he fails at a “writer” to communicate that, so he’s probably right that he fears he will be replaced by 2000 lines of code.
🍿
you say “neo-luddite” as if that’s a bad thing
@gerikson
I am well aware of the then-progressive although ultimately failed historical #luddite movement, which is presumably your embedded sentiment.
Neo-luddite being “negative” is just your interpretation.
I even say in the same post “Which is fine…” 🙄
It’s just a label for folks who are, on the surface, “anti-AI”
Let me fix that for you
Can’t tell if you’re trolling or just willfully ignorant.
Either way, they have been cordially directed to the egress.
Ooh, what a terrible fate! What horrid crimes you must have committed to make our beloved jannies punish you with admin bits! :D
@BurgersMcSlopshot
Funny, that’s what I think about folks who haven’t touched AI since Eliza and somehow think their opinion about AI matters.
Wulfy… saying someone cannot be right because they haven’t agreed with you yet is an appeal to authority. People might be wrong, but they don’t have to adopt AI in order to have an informed opinion.
If you’re asking me how to design a prompt for a particular AI, then I don’t know a single thing about it. If you’re asking me whether AI is a good idea or not, I can be more sure of that answer. Feel free to prove me wrong, but don’t say my opinion doesn’t matter.
Have you seen the data centers being built just north of your house? No? Well it doesn’t matter you still might have a point!
indeed
not saying it’s always the supposed infosec instances, but
Why did you skip the funniest part?
Tempted to make that my bio on some socmed site
Have you ever read an article of his in full? Literally packed with facts and numbers backing up his arguments
