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.

āThey wish this technology didnāt existā: Perplexity responds to News Corpās lawsuit
I wish the AI bros at Perplexity and elsewhere a very cope and fucking seethe.
Okay, quick personal sidenote:
With how much misinformation, manipulation, outright theft and other horrific shit this AI bubble has caused, I suspect weāre gonna see some attempts at an outright ban on AI. How successful theyāre gonna be, I donāt know, but at the bare minimum itāll enjoy some popularity on the political fringe.
Yea, down with corporate IP trolls, information gatekeepers and idea landlords! Anyway, what was Perplexityās business model again?
idea landlords: making sure that no one is living rent free in someone elses head
On one hand, big ālet them fightā energy. On the other hand this is a bit more Alien v Predator than Godzilla v Kong. No matter who wins, we lose.
this is supposed to be invalidating, but likeā¦ yes? whatās wrong with that?
Burglars telling homeowners to cope and seethe when questioned about their possession of crowbars at time of arrest.
You know youāre dealing with serious people when the dogwhistles come out.
