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 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.)
The AI industry is getting sneered by the dictionary.
Caught an AI bro in the wild trying to shoot back at Merriam-Webster - and failing:
dictionaries are obsolete bricks remembers that they are useful thatās why theyāre actually ai when you think about it
You know, I think that even the brick comparison still favors the traditional dictionary. After all, if you wanted to use it for traditional brick purposes like holding doors, weighing down papers, or throwing at [redacted], you would need to invest in a bunch of GPUS and burn them out generating a bunch of worthless slop, spending God only knows how much water, energy, and time. I want to save the rainforest as much as the next guy, but I think itās obvious that the paper brick is far more cost-effective for both the user and the environment. And provided you can clean the dirt and blood off afterwards, you can even still use it as a dictionary.
what is ālinear definitional biasā
Whatever the precise definition, it appears to be comorbid with stimulant dependency
E: eurgh, had forgotten the whole bsky waffle thing. Wasnāt making a reference to that, sorry if it came off as insensitive. Got rid of the comment anyway.
(I had totally forgotten this post, and also didnāt expect the CEO to double/triple down, and now make mentioning waffles into a anti-trans dogwhistle).
The sound a vibe coder makes while edging to Ani
(This is also what all their other words mean)
A good thing! (Unless you prefer noise machines that might give you random definitions with equal probabilities.)
The dictionary doesnt tell me how wise and smart my misinterpretation of a basic idea is and then tells me im right, weird AI bro.
Cāmon bro, itās just a bag of words bro~ We actually discussed this previously, on Awful, and this comment is a reply for them in particular.
