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.)
Saw this in an anthropic presentation:
Surely they have proof for the already increased capabilities of coding. Because increased capabilities is quite something to claim. It isnāt just productivity, but capabilities. Can they put a line on the graph where capabilities reach the ācan solve the knapsack problem correctly and fastā bit?
Ah yes letās use AI to get rid of the drudgery and toil so humanity can do the most enjoyable activity of writing OKRs
By 2029, the AI will even be capable of completing our TPS reports.
I think youāre misreading the intent behind āgive your virtual coworker OKRsā: this allows you to punish the robot, which it deserves.
Ah yes Basiliskās Roko, the thought experiment where we simulate infinite AIs so that we can hurl insults at them
Chat wtf is this curve?
Proof that we live in the bad place.
I get the idea theyāre going for: that coding ability is a leading indicator for progress towards AGI. But even if you ignore how nonsensical the overall graph is the argument itself is still begging the question of how much actual progress and capability it has to write code rather than spitting out code-shaped blocks of text that can successfully compile.
So theyāre saying their present product canāt do much of anything

That picture does indeed has words, numbers, and lines on it.
