Want to wade into the snowy surf of the abyss? 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 so 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.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)
being told that āai useā is ābecoming a core competencyā at work :\
I was looking into a public sector job opening, running clouds for schools, and just found out that my state recently launched a chatbot for schools. But itās made in EU and safe and stuff! (Itās an on-premise GPT-5)
Iām hearing different things from different quarters. My momās job spent most of the last year pushing AI use towards uncertain ends, then had a lead trainer finally tell their whole team last week that āthis is a bubble,ā among other little choice bits of reality. I think some places closer to the epicenter of the bubble are further down the trough of disappointment, so have hope.
