Want to wade into the spooky 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 you’ll 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 cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

S-tier big brain ai safety researcher chimes in:
Masterful gambit, sir. Why didn’t we consider the fact that “automating all labour would produce more revenue”?
I realize it’s been poisoned since/by coiners, but god I hate that usage of “democratize”
Just pretend that it’s coming from a different root word “mocratize” meaning the opposite of whatever the fuck crypto is doing
could I, like, not do that? would suit my needs better. kthx
thanks for asking. ~~No~~ of course
it's democratic if i couldn't do it yesterday but i can do it today, even though it's not the same in any meaningful way
edit: in all seriousness, it's disgusting the way they are pretending there is some noble intention behind any of this.
yeah it’s very much an intentional usage of poisoned language to construct a targeted outcome
but arrrrrrgh
As usual the libertarians are saying "democratize" when they mean "commodify".
What professional athlete is a) working for OpenAI and b) wants to turn Sora into the bottomless fountain of goon?
A horny one.
And just as importantly, free-sprinted
Oh God my brain is so used to turning typos into likely intended words that I missed "free-sprinted", which I'm going to guess in this context involves being athletic and horny and bottomless and possibly suffering from protein-powder-induced lead poisoning.
That might explain why copilot is a cum sprite
truly a hellish predicament
Lightly concealing his identity behind a generated anime avatar may be the wisest thing that kid ever did
The kid arguing for deepfake porn ofc sees no problem with Ghiblifying himself with his plagiarism machine. Total fucking douchebag status.
"How dare you suggest that we pivoted to SlopTok and smut because of money if something that we totally cannot do right now is more lucrative?"
Really, Colin?
