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.)
Starting this off with a fittingly rage-inducing Twitter thread about an artist getting fucked over by AI
Of course, there are also the usual comments saying artists shouldnāt complain about getting replaced by AI etc. Reminds me why I am not on Twitter anymore.
It also strikes me that in this case, the artist didnāt even expect to get paid. Apparently, the AI bros even crave the unpaid āexposureā real artists get, without wanting to put in any of the work and while (in most cases) generating results that are no better than spam.
It is a sickening display of narcissism IMHO.
That Jorge guy is a real piece of shit
