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. Merry Christmas, happy Hannukah, and happy holidays in general!)
Sunday rant post. I really dislike that so many people are now adopting āelectronsā when they mean power (it is good as a āthis person drinks the coolaidā shibboleth however).
And I was amused to hear people go āAI (by which they meant the recent llm stuff) malware creating will be a risk in the future, look at the drug discovery that AI is already doingā, wonder if drug discovery people have said ālook how great drug discovery will be in the future, look at all the malware development AI is already doingā.
Definitely have seen salty say this. Whatās next? āQuantum AI development is bottlenecked by waveformsā??? I hate this shit
Sounds like a way to identify people who think of power requirements as energy going in, rather than energy that also has to be dissipated. Wonder how circular the Venn diagram of electron guys vs space datacenter guys is.
energy goes in, energy goes out. you canāt explain that
Imagine how many electrons those space air conditioners must be using!
āI need more electronsā I say as I shuffle my feet on the carpet until my hair turns into a halo. I will take them by force.
Power! Unlimited power! I say as I shoot Force Electrons into the jedi knights.
