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.)
Dan Olson finds that āAI overviewsā are not as constant as the northern star.
But also,
Olson says,
Hat tip to the AI bro in the comments willfully misunderstanding why he sees so much āsexualized schoolgirl trashā from human artists. Both in the sense of āillustrators take commissions from horny strangers who are one of the most consistent sources of actual income and one imperilled by genAIā and in the sense of āmy dude in the modern internet if youāre seeing it that frequently itās because the algorithms have decided youāre into that shit.ā
Thank god for wikipedia and other wikis, may they live long and prosper.
