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 cutā€™nā€™paste it into its own post, thereā€™s no quota for posting and the bar really isnā€™t that high

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many ā€œesotericā€ right wing freaks, but thereā€™s no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iā€™m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged ā€œculture criticsā€ who write about everything but understand nothing. Iā€™m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyā€™re inescapable at this point, yet I donā€™t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnā€™t be surgeons because they didnā€™t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canā€™t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

    This isnā€™t a shit opener as this isnā€™t an opener (at least I hope so, I have seen parts of this conversation, and didnā€™t check timestamps, and I assume it didnā€™t start this dumb), Musk is having a longer conversaition with LeCun here, and it is a great example of why you shouldnā€™t wrestle with pigs. The pig doesnā€™t care about facts, is just there to entertain itself, and eventually you will do something stupid (like this claim about science) and you will be covered in mud.

    The conversation started with Musk going: ā€˜Well what research did YOU do you nobody?ā€™ To which LeCun said ā€˜at least 80 papers on AI since 2022 how much did you do?ā€™ which Musk Le Epic countered with ā€˜that is not enough you are slackingā€™.

    Donā€™t feed the trolls, esp not when the troll is a billionaire who needs a security detail to get out of the toilet.
