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 cutānāpaste it into its own post, 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.
Nick Bostromās advertising his new book about what if AIs let us sleep until noon and wouldnāt that be grand.
Also call me paranoid, but āA winter wonderland glittering with possibilities for discovery and playā sounds exactly like the sort of thing an LLM might generate.
Also there was a whole thing about how CGTP tends to use ādelveā a lot because itās been RLHFād by speakers of nigerian english, so yeah.
Outright millenarianism
Bostrom yearns for retirement/unemployment the book.
