Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? 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 youā€™ll 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 cutā€™nā€™paste it into its own post ā€” 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.

      Q*

      My understanding is that it was renamed or rebranded to Strawberry which itself nebulous marketting maybe itā€™s the new larger model or maybe itā€™s GPT-5 or maybeā€¦

      itā€™s all smoke and mirrors. I think my point is, they made some cost optimizations and mostly moved around things that existed, and theyā€™ll keep doing that.

        OH

        I first saw this then later saw the ā€œopenai employees tweeted šŸ“ā€ and thought the latter was them being cheeky dipshits about the former. admittedly I didnā€™t look deeper (because ugh)

        but this is even more hilarious and dumb
