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 youāll 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 cutānāpaste it into its own post ā 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.
(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this)
Heās using it to give examples of exam question answers. The embarrassment
Iād pipe up and go āuhhh hey prof, arenāt you being paid to, like, impart knowledge?ā
(I should note that I have an extremely deficient fucks pool, and do not mind pissing off fuckwits. but I understand itās not always viable to do)
It was there and gone fairly quickly and I wouldnāt say Iām a model student so I didnāt say anything. Iāve talked to him about Chat GPT before thoughā¦
āSo, professor sir, are you OK with psychologically torturing Black people, or do you just not care?ā
I mean, that kind of suggests that you could use chatGPT to confabulate work for his class and he wouldnāt have room to complain? Not that Iād recommend testing that, because using ChatGPT in this way is not indicative of an internally consistent worldview informing those judgements.
Weāre going to be answering two essay questions in an in-class test instead of writing a paper this year specifically to prevent chat gpt abuse. Which he laughed and joked about because he really believes chat gpt can produce good results !
Iām pretty sure you could download a decent markov chain generator onto a TI-89 and do basically the same thing with a more in-class appropriate tool, but speaking as someone with dogshit handwriting Iām so glad to have graduated before this was a concern. Godspeed, my friend.
