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.
This isnāt a shit opener as this isnāt an opener (at least I hope so, I have seen parts of this conversation, and didnāt check timestamps, and I assume it didnāt start this dumb), Musk is having a longer conversaition with LeCun here, and it is a great example of why you shouldnāt wrestle with pigs. The pig doesnāt 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: āWell what research did YOU do you nobody?ā To which LeCun said āat least 80 papers on AI since 2022 how much did you do?ā which Musk Le Epic countered with āthat is not enough you are slackingā.
Donāt feed the trolls, esp not when the troll is a billionaire who needs a security detail to get out of the toilet.
this could have begun here https://xcancel.com/ylecun/status/1795034443809165464#m thatās bulk of the thread i think https://xcancel.com/ylecun/status/1795589846771147018#m
i received brain damage from replies. everyone has a bluecheck
Iām gonna make a bot with a yellowcheckmark that just replies wargames āA strange game. The only winning move is not to tweetā at all their tweets.
