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 so 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.

LW not beating cult allegations by including on title bar a link to an actual secular candlelit ceremony instructions, whose narrative places computer touchers generally and chatbots specifically at pinnacle of human development. as in, on par with invention of language and fire. amazing self-report
Ow look petrov day. Looks closer its about the acausalrobotgod.
And really? A Battlestar Galactica reference? (The so say we all stuff).
tbf iāve only skimmed it after going through sixth or so after looking at scroll bar
I was skimming it and then scrolled down to check if they went all āAI scaryā, and then I saw some weird ritual parts in the end where I saw the āso say we allā bits.
This is a literal indoctrination ceremony to soften people up to the idea of progress at all costs.
A ritual relying on a terribly eurocentric history of humanity, that quotes Nick Bostrom alongside Galileo and Thomas Edison? Why, LessWrongers, you shouldnāt haveā¦no really, you shouldnāt have.
Also they do the āthatās a nice quote isnāt itā¦itās from Hitler!ā bit, which seems like kind of a cheap routine to have in your ritual.
