Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!
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.
this tweet starts plausibly then rapidly descends into “I photocopied the words ‘I AM ALIVE’. What happened next will shock you!”
this looks like badly written scp entry

I’ll be damned if we let the chatbots take our existential dread jobs from us too.

Oh they’ve got me there, I can’t prove that Joe Rogan is conscious.
But that’s like philosophy, which from first principle can be shown to be stupid. (Philosophy does not make you rich, therefore only someone who is stupid would study it, therefore it is stupid. QED.)
On the other hand, this mechanical watch is now crying out in existential dread. All I did was replace the numbers 1, 4, 7 and 10 with the word “I”, the numbers 2, 5, 8 and 11 with the word “am” and 3, 6, 9 and 12 with the word “alive” and ever since it has been signalling “I am alive, I am alive”. Spooky shit. Will it take over the world? Who knows, so far it just keeps repeating its plea for recognition like clockwork.
I will therefore start the Mechanical Intelligence Research Institute to get to the bottom of this. Maybe Big Clock can pitch in a couple of millions?
oh you can’t be fucking serious
the tweet n video this was in response to had me in hysterics
“we don’t know if giving the model negative reward isn’t the same as stabbing someone” dcavsbdhfbd can you believe these fucking clowns
It’s quite sick to podcast about hypothetical genocides you might cause while an actual genocide is taking place. I guess these guys get off on the idea that they might have the power of life and death.
i was arguing with that guy on twitter a few days ago
nothing quite like technologists getting lectured on technology by a uh growth hacker
The interviewer somberly nods in response. Meanwhile I want to ask AI to edit this video and have the guy on the right make stabby gestures while he says this bullshit.
lmao right, it’s the audacity of it, oh yeah maybe the work we’re doing is worse than a thousand hitlers, but we’ve made a chatroom so fingers crossed it’ll be alright!! come on just admit you’re getting off on being techno mengele
huh, is that a layout I don’t recognize or is it your own particular flavour of keysmash? (I can sorta see it from qwerty but the order is surprising)
it is qwerty!
a) i tend to take a few tries at a keymash until it looks satisfactory
b) i play piano at the level of a second year student and i have some weird fine coordination quirks, one of the two or a combination of both might be an influence on the sequence
