Feel like you want to sneer about something but you donāt quite have a snappy post in you? 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 here 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.
Apparently thereās a new coding AI that is supposedly pretty good. Zvi does the writeup, and logically extrapolates what will happen for future versions, which will obviously self improve andā¦ solve cold fusion?
Yep. The recursive self improving AI will solve cold fucking fusion from a computer terminal.
Where are they going to find 500 people in India who are good at solving cold fusion and will do it for pennies.
Who needs things like āexperimentsā and ādataā? Surely a
chatbotsuperintelligence can extrapolate all of physics from two frames of a video of an apple falling.ā¦ fucking hell thatās a few layers of quackery and far-AI promise nuttery all at once
Iām not going to substantively touch on most of those, because by and large I think everyone here gets it
but
'feel' the future
ā¦ itās so ā¦ ājust vibes, manā. petition to crowdfund these poor dipshits some buttplug.io-compatible sex toys or something, give them something else to feel besides vibesIāll give even odds that he was jacking off while writing that
I am extremely impressed (and a little concerned) by the fact that lemmy decided that text needs syntax highlighting
