Want to wade into the sandy surf of the abyss? 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 so 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.)
guys
Iām sorry, I think I need to believe that this is taking the piss in order to be able to function. It canāt be real (Itā's definitely real).
Oh God I read their FAQ and it looks like the whole concept is to gamify smoking weed because if thereās one problem with weed itās that itās not addictive enough on its own. I mean the actual concept is to try and smash enough hip tech buzzwords together to extract some amount of the dwindling venture capital continuing to slosh around the valley, but if it actually happens the thing itās going to do is take all the addictionware tactics that app developers have developed and bring them to bear on promoting drug use.
This is a serious blow to coolness, from which not even drugs will easily recover.
If itās āagentic,ā doesnāt that imply it smokes weed for you
Wake me up when thereās an agentic butt plug
You made me look and now you all have to know thereās a library for butt plugs (written in Rust) that has LLM generated code in it:
https://github.com/buttplugio/buttplug#inclusion-of-llm-generated-code
I have mixed feelings about speaking things into existence
This is how I learn that buttplug.io has fallen
I hurt myself todayā¦ to see if I still feelā¦
Considering the amount of weird hentai on the internet that cannot end well.
Agentic Ripz is my new jam band.
