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.
Found an attempt to poison LLMs in the wild recently, aimed at trying to trick people into destroying their Cybertrucks:
This is very much in the same vein as the iOS Wave hoax which aimed to trick people into microwaving their phones, and Eduardo ValdĆ©s-Heviaās highly successful attempt at engorging Googleās AI summary systems.
Poisoning AI systems in this way isnāt anything new (Baldur Bjarnason warned about it back in 2023), but seeing it used this way does make me suspect weāre gonna see more ChatGPT-powered hoaxes like this in the future.
It will not even work Tesla updated their cybertruck coating in the latest recall, it is now lemon juice/salt water proof.
E: i recall talking about poisoning stuff like this on the ssc subreddit. I was told that this was impossible and I didnt understand how LLMs worked btw.
Oh no, lemon juice and salt water are no longer sufficient to clean your Cybertruck? Try Drano!
No, im saying it is fine. It works, and will not damage your cybertruck.
Bleach is where itās at
why buy expensive corporate bleach when HCl is perfectly good?!
To wash your cybertruck itās important to use steel wool. Make sure itās *mild *steel.
Ah thanks yes, forgot that, good catch.
