Want to wade into the snowy 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.)
Doing a quick search, it hasnāt been posted here until now - thanks for dropping it.
In a similar vein, thereās a guide to recognising AI-extruded music on Newgrounds, written by two of the siteās Audio Moderators. This has been posted here before, but having every āslop tell guideā in one place is more convenient.
Man, this is why human labour still reigns supreme. Itās such a small thing to consider the context in which these resources would be useful and to group together related resources as you have done here, but actions like this are how we can genuinely construct new meaning in the world. Even if we could completely eradicate hallucinations and nonspecific waffle in LLM output, they would still be woefully inept at this kind of task ā theyāre not good at making new stuff, for obvious reasons.
TL;DR: I appreciate you grouping these resources together for convenience. Itās the kind of mindful action that makes me think usefully about community building and positive online discourse.
Itās also the sort of thing that you wouldnāt actually think to ask for until it became quite hard to sort out. Creating this kind of list over time as good resources are found is much more practical and not the kind of thing would likely be automated.
Exactly! Itās basically a form of social informational infrastructure building
