Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 17 March 2024 - eviltoast

As suggested at this thread to general “yeah sounds cool”. Let’s see if this goes anywhere.

Original inspiration:

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)

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to make it a post, there’s no quota here

    This feels shorter than these things usually are, or I’ve just become inured to this stuff.

    Of course it turned out to be about not taking AI doom seriously, and not about, say, EA collectively falling for a scammer.
