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.

Found while poking around today: the Wikipedia club for cleaning up after AI.
Example: the article Leninist historiography was entirely written by AI and previously included a list of completely fake sources in Russian and Hungarian at the bottom of the page.
@blakestacey Super depressed that people were using the rubbish plagiarism machines to edit Wikipedia anyway. I donāt understand the point of contributing if you donāt think *you* have anything to contribute without that garbage.
There are the weirdest people who make ācontentā out there. For example, I saw a āhow to start the gameā joke guide on steam, so I went to their page to block them (to see if this also blocks the guides from popping up, doesnāt seem so) and they had made hundreds of these guides, all just copy pasted shit. And there were more people doing the exact same thing. Bizarre shit. (Prob related to the thing where you can give people stickers, gamification was a mistake).
@Soyweiser @RubyJones I recently stumbled upon a YouTube channel that is just a guy reading specs of some obscure electronics/computer parts. Not a review, the guy is just reading stuff with no hint of emotion; the guy is on PiP video on the corner, but he might as well be AI generated at this point
no one has seen this coming, no one
I am disappoint.
āThe purpose of this project isĀ notĀ to restrict or ban the use of AI in articles, but to verify that its output is acceptable and constructive, and to fix or remove it otherwise.ā
psst itās to search and destroy
@blakestacey @hipsterelectron what if we all make Gee Pee Tee promise to never edit any Wiki ever again.

Iām just thinking about all the reply guys that come here defending autoplag, specifically with this idea:
āGPT is great when I want to turn a list of bullet points into an eloquent emailā
Hey, you butts, just send the bullet points! What are you, a high schooler? Nobody has time for essays, much less autoplagged slop.
No no no itās fine! You get the word shuffler to deshuffle theāeloquentlyāshuffled paragraphs back into nice and tidy bullet points. And I have an idea! You could get an LLM to add metadata to the email to preserve the original bullet points, so the recipient LLM has extra interpolation room to choose to ignore the original list, but keep theāmuch more correct and eloquent, and with much better emphasisāhallucinated ones.

Yikes. Could be a troll (I hope itās a troll)a lost not very computer literate dude who just got scammed i guess
Today in āPromptfondler fucks around and finds out.ā
So Iām guessing what happened here is that the statistically average terminal session doesnāt end after opening an SSH connection, and the LLM doesnāt actually understand what itās doing or when to stop, especially when itās being promoted with the output of whatever it last commanded.
Shlegeris said he uses his AI agent all the time for basic system administration tasks that he doesnāt remember how to do on his own, such as installing certain bits of software and configuring security settings.
Emphasis added.
āI only had this problem because I was very reckless,ā he continued, "partially because I think itās interesting to explore the potential downsides of this type of automation. If I had given better instructions to my agent, e.g. telling it āwhen youāve finished the task you were assigned, stop taking actions,ā I wouldnāt have had this problem.
just instruct it ābe sentientā and youāre good, why donāt these tech CEOs undersand the full potential of this limitless technology?
so I snipped the prompt from the log, and:
āÆ pbpaste| wc -c 2063
wow, so efficient! Iām so glad that we have this wonderful new technology where you can write 2kb of text to send to an api to spend massive amounts of compute to get back an operation for doing the irredeemably difficult systems task of initiating an ssh connection

Assistant: I apologize for the confusion. It seems that the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet is not the correct one for your network. Letās try to determine your network configuration. We can do this by checking your IP address and subnet mask:
there are multiple really bad and dumb things in that log, but this really made me lol (the IPs in question are definitely in that subnet)
if it were me, Iād be fucking embarrassed to publish something like this as anything but a talk in the spirit of wat. but the promptfondlers donāt seem to have that awareness

itās a classic

But playing spicy mad-libs with your personal computers for lols is critical AI safety research! This advances the state of the art of copy pasting terminal commands without understanding them!
I also appreciated The Register throwing shade at their linux sysadmin skills:
Yes, we recommend focusing on fixing the Grub bootloader configuration rather than a reinstall.
OMG. This is borderline unhinged behaviour. Yeah, letās just give root permission to an LLM and let it go nuts in prod. What could possibly go wrong?
So, today MS publishes this blog post about something with AI. It starts with āWeāre living through a technological paradigm shift.āā¦ and right there I didnāt bother reading the rest of it because I donāt want to expose my brain to it further.
But what I found funny is that also today, thereās this news: https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/1/24259369/microsoft-hololens-2-discontinuation-support
So Hololens is discontinuedā¦ you knowā¦ ARā¦ the last supposedly big paradigm shift that was supposedly going to change everything.
Dear heavens the hype is off the chart in this blog post. Must resist sneering at every single sentence.
It is perhaps the greatest amplifier of human well-being in history, one of the most effective ways to create tangible and lasting benefits for billions of people.
Chatbots: better for human civilization than agriculture!
With your permission, Copilot will ultimately be able to act on your behalf, smoothing lifeās complexities and giving you more time to focus on what matters to you. [ā¦], while supporting our uniqueness and endlessly complex humanity.
(Sorry this ended up as a vague braindump)
Itās interesting that someone thought āsmoothing lifeās complexitiesā is a good thing to advertise wrt. chatbots. One of the threads of criticism is that they smear out language and art until all the joy is lost to statistical noise. Like if someone writes me a letter and I have Bingbot summarize it to me I am losing that human connection.
Apparently Bingbot is supposed to smooth out lifeās complexities without smoothing out peopleās complexities, but itās not clear to me how I can rely on a computer as a Husbando to do all my chores and work for me without losing something in the process (and thatās if it actually worked, which it doesnāt).
Iāve felt some vague similar thoughts towards non-AI computing. Life was different before the internet and computers and computers making management decisions was ubiquitous, and life was better in a lot of ways. On the whole itās hard for me to say if computers were a net benefit or not, but itās a shame we couldnāt as a society take all the good and ignore all the bad (I know this is a bit idealistic of me).
Similarly whatever results from chatbots may change society, and unfortunately all the people in charge are doing their darndest to make it change society for the worse instead of the better.
perhapsā¦ one of the most
Load bearing words!

I donāt think thereās an interpretation of this phrase in which AI actually helps.
āLifeās complexitiesā sounds like an adam curtis bit.

@V0ldek @sailor_sega_saturn sorry, these are Non-Tangible Tokens
re: how can a chatbot help with life?
This just their brains on science fiction, they think chatbot can help like the independent AI agents could in the science fiction they half remember. Or at least they think marketing it like that will appeal to people.
A lot less, āCopilot make this list of bullet points into an emailā and more āCopilot, lock on to the intruder, close the bulkheads after them and flush it to the nearest trash compactorā.
I think that āgiving microsoft the power to do things in my behalfā is quite an iffy decision to make, but that is just me. Ow look it autorenewed your licenses for you, and bought a subscription Copaint, it even got you a deal not 240 dollars per year, but 120, a steal!
E: I saw this image and because cursed eyeballs is the gift that keeps on giving, I will link it to yall as well, nsfw warning. This is the AI future microsoft wants
I think itās also a case of thinking about form before function. Itās not quite as bad a case as the metaverse nonsense was, but thereās still a lack of curiosity about the sci-fi they read. In most stories that treat AI as anything less than a god, the replacement of people with artificial tools is about either what gets lost (the I, Robot movie, Wall-E) or the fact that effectively replacing people requires creating something with the same moral worth (Blade Runner, I, Robot, the Aasimov collection, etc).
I am neutral on MSFT - to me itās a bog standard transnational company with better than most working conditions because itās not making stuff you can make in sweatshops. But itās really impressive how theyāve gone from the beige-box tyranny of Appleās 1984 ad, via the āHalloween Papersā era where they were every Linux weenieās biggest boogeyman, to todayās bland backer of OpenAI. Note that theyāre not really advertising it. How many people who are horrified by Copilotās Recall feature also know theyāre the biggest investor in the company that makes ChatGPT?
From a corporate governance perspective, being so central to the tech industry for so long is kinda impressive.
this is why i keep hammering on how, functionally, OpenAI is a branch of MS and theyāre only separate so OpenAIās reputation doesnāt stain MS.
Despite the industryās deeply ingrained neophilia, I think it speaks to the importance of backwards compatibility and legacy systems.
I canāt help but think that the genAI craze will end up being a regrettable side-quest along the path to ācoding for non-programmersā akin to Visual Basic. But hey, I bet thereās a lot more legacy VB apps being kept alive out there than anyone would be comfortable with.
Despite having been one of those Linux weenies back in the day I have a lot of respect for the amount of work MS puts into backwards compatibility, dev tool upkeep, etc. And now theyāre actually Open Source! Hell hath frozen over (or they realized no universities wanted to pay Visual Studio licenses and lost a couple of generations of coders to Linux)
And now theyāre actually Open Source!
Eh, kind of but also not. VS Code is proprietary, but you have the vscode:vscodium::chrome:chromium thing. Unlike in Chromiumās case, the proprietary version actually comes with some amenities one might actually care about (mainly in the plugin repository).
You could say Open Source got some big wins in 2010s, leading to MSFT doing their fair share of contributions to Free software and openwashing as much of the rest as they can manage, but letās not kid ourselves. They wouldnāt need to openwash if most of their stuff werenāt still proprietary. Last I checked MSVC, SQL Server, Azure, Copilot, IIS, Power BI, and the DirectX SDKs were all totally closed and jealously guarded.
ah, sweet, manmade horrors beyond my comprehension:
(This wouldāve been more shocking to me in 2023, but after over a year in this bubble I have stopped expecting anything resembling basic human decency from those who work in AI)
Not a lawyer, but wouldnāt that be something her estate could kick up some legal dust about? Thatās two dozen kind of fucked up.

Musk looks like his own Madame Tussaudās waxwork

Holy shit thatās too good!
I need an early-2000ās style web video where a cutout of that Musk picture moves up and down to a sproingy-sproingy sound.
Iām thoroughly convinced Musk is an AI generated person and his lifeās goal is simply to find the AI that generated him.
The world is a simulation and Musk has a green jewel above his head.
gotta love how the screenshot makes him look like a vampire
You know, when Samuel L Jackson decided that the best approach to climate change was to kill billions of poor people rather than ask the rich to give up any privileges in Kingsman it was more blatantly evil but appreciably less dumb than this. Very similar wavelength though.
Arenāt you supposed to try to hide your psychopathic instincts? I wonder if heās knowingly bullshitting or if heās truly gotten high on his own supply.
Small FYI, not a sneer or anything, you can stop reading if you donāt know what the godotengine is. But if you do and hear of the fork, you can just ignore the fork. (the people involved also seem to be rather iffy, one guy who went crazy after somebody mentioned they would like gay relationships in his game, and some maga conspiracy theory style coder. That is going by the 3 normal people the account follows (out of 5) who I assume are behind it).
amazing work theyāve achieved so far though
yes, thatās the complete change set for the fork
oh and a Godot discord moderator turned out to be extremely into dropping n-words in chat
This is fucking hilarious. GIT is my favorite blockchain
I have no idea what set the drama off btw, I have not really looked into it (could it be that this mod you are talking about was the unofficial mod the godot communication was talking about? Or is that a different mod? And did the redot (wait, re.? please tell me it isnāt a reference to the reeeee thing) people really pick the side of the n-word mod?)
I did see that the guy who started redot basically only forked it and then went āany devs wanna take over this fork?ā Very I started the wiki, without even starting a wiki.
theyāre already sniping at each other
GUYS GUYS THE LOGO IT IS VERY IMPORTANT
The bikeshed should be RED!
Lol Edit (emp mine): āWe need to remove the Godot branding from everything to differentiate this from Godot. For starters we can change the default IDE theme. I think a dark theme with red accents would make sense. Godot is associated with cooler colors, so warmer colors seem good.ā
Of course black with red. The engine for edgy 17 year olds. (I wanted to make a joke about Razer gaming peripherals here, but looks like they switched mostly to rainbows and greens, damn wokes!)
Apologies for crappy nitpicking on my part, but 4chan millennials really gotta learn to let go of impact font.
I think a dark theme with red accents would make sense.
Oh HELL no thatās the same editor theme Iām using. How do I cast a spell to banish these people
It was some Adobe-style theme I downloaded a long time ago but I guess Iām using the anti-woke theme now
I want to pull quotes from that thread but itās so satisfying in context to see the most toxic parts of a gaming community turn on each other
and dear god are those some ugly fucking logos. my favorite is the one thatās just Redot Engine with a ridiculously overbearing letter R (not gonna repost them here for obvious trademark reasons ā Iāve got the feeling these fellas might not have that part figured out)

apparently godot posted something about supporting LGBT in games? canāt find the original. then Grummz posted ragebait about it and the chuds flooded their github and discord with fuckwittery
this is from like 5 min following links after reading your post
Looked at Grummz twitter, and looks like Notch is also getting involved. With friends like that.
Amazing how this new crop of outrage merchants who touched some game code in the past make Derek Smart look measured and well balanced.
Christ, itās like Gamergate never ended
yes, thatās correct
found it: https://bsky.app/profile/gamingonlinux.com/post/3l5ca3blqgn2y
The idiots claimed using game engines was le wokisme and Godot took the piss, and Grummz ran with it
wait, the āpre-builtā engine these little shits are trying to bully a developer for using is fucking Unreal Engine 5?
all wokes want is to use a notoriously advanced and difficult game engine owned by a right-wing asshole and thatās how theyāre gonna destroy gaming. with the engine that gigantic studios use because writing an engine from scratch is a fucking money pit that never ends and you have to have a good fucking reason to do it
also Iāve been trying to force my hands to not start a Bevy project ever since Tiny Glade (a beautiful, cozy 3D sandbox builder running on the Bevy engine) launched and Bevy is manual as hell (but fun to work with), so this is a good reminder that Godot is cool and I should finally learn it too
A common pattern of the angry anti-āwokeā gamers is that they donāt know how games are made on any level, and they are kept, I think intentionally, in the dark by the people who are stirring the anti-āwokeā craziness who should know better. And it is about every level, npc ai, engines, financial, external organization structures, community management, how prerelease footage is work in progress, etc etc. It is almost impressive how blind people are towards how their hobby creation works.
also, holy fuck the reply guys are a plague on that post. is bluesky normally like that, or is it the blast radius from the gamers deciding they have a problem?
dunno if i have an unusual amount of blocked posters, but the ones i can see are fine? bsky is largely le home of le wokisme
thatās probably it ā logged out mastodon is probably just as bad. also the most aggressive reply guyās take is āaccounts for public projects should never block anyone and they should be required to debate the people yelling at themā which is, holy fuck, the most blockable thing Iāve ever seen
Godot is really fun to use and to develop in. They basically gamified documentation writing: they show you tooltips for your custom elements just like the classes provided by the engine with their excellent documentation. The engine has hot code reloading too. I have a puzzle game project that Iām working on now.
that sounds awesome! godot in general seems to be a very practical game engine, and at this point I definitely want to do my next little experimental game project in Godot (with Rust, if the tooling for that is at all ready for production) so I have experience with at least one normal object-oriented game engine that isnāt an old unreal engine or idtech under my belt
like I mentioned, I really like how Bevy works, but in its current state it isnāt really ready for rapid development. a bare Bevy project is literally just the ECS and system scheduler but with no runloop. the defaults get you a lot of basics like a runloop, good renderer, input handling, audio, and such, but from there you still have to decide how everything works in terms of game logic ā even with third-party plugins for stuff like physics for example, you still have to write logic for what a collision means to each entity involved. I also donāt think bevy has a unified editor or live code reloading at all yet? so for each game you have to write an editor (which the engine helps with a little bit) and potentially a live reload implementation (which sounds like hell)
owned by a right-wing asshole
Wait, what? Can I get some info or even just the right search terms to force Google to give me useful info? I know heās done the eye-roll-worthy āno politics in my artformā bullshit but if thereās more Iāve missed, Iām keen to know.
most of itās on Twitter and therefore inaccessible to me, but Sweeney has a habit of falling all over himself to defend musk in nonsensical ways, and musk continuously returns the favor. the two of them boosting each other politically is something that keeps happening ā a search for
tim sweeney musk
or similar should surface more recent examples without flooding you with āno politics in artā results (though thatās a dogwhistle too, soā¦)Sweeney has a wider track record of saying slimy fash shit on Twitter ā itās why heās a meme on mastodon ā but like I said, none of thatās accessible to me anymore. it fucking sucks that both of the programmers I idolized as a naive kid turned out to be huge fucking assholes though
Carmack has always struck me as the kind of cishet white GenX dude that gets more and more pissed that everythingās āpoliticalā, I just wanna code, man, why is everyone mad at me that he more or less inevitably falls into fascism. Sure games can be coded as ācounterculturalā but the genres that Doom and Quake represent are quasi-fascist already.
Ugh. Thanks, yeah thatās good enough for me without even opening xcancel. My search for āTim Sweeney conservativeā only dredged up his land conservation purchases and the āstop being so divisiveā / āno politics in artā dogwhistles which had previously made me suspicious, but I had mostly forgotten about. I quit Twitter many years ago so I missed that whole knobslobbering saga and didnāt think to include
Musk
after skimming todayās shitty Google āsearchā results.Ah fuck, and Carmack too? Goddamn it. Twist the knife a little harder.
Fucking tech bros, always ruining tech.
Holy shit that is amazing. The thinnest skins. All of this over the promise by God not to flood the world again.
Thereās a new fork of Godot!
Itās called Lolidot, because of course it is

go woke, go 1400 EUR ahead and lose a pile of shitheads you never wanted
the chuds have done their usual thing of throwing themselves on the ground and acting extremely injured by being blocked for violating the CoC of an open source project (via Liam at GamingOnLinux):
whatās fucked is this is the exact same playbook as NixOS and Python, though this time Godot doesnāt seem to be taking any shit and that seems to be preventing those tactics from working. weird how easy it is to weather shit like this when you have a fucking spine and arenāt trying to retain fascist assholes

Twitter posts by RĆ©mi Verschelde (@Akien): I see misunderstanding around Godot blocking some users on its GitHub organization.
- Weāve blocked 5 accounts so far
- All opening issues with slurs, harassing contributors (breaching Godotās CoC and GHās ToS)
- Blocking users does NOT prevent download of the engine or source
ā
Blocking users doesnāt even prevent them from reading issues and PRs, just interacting with them. You can read and download anything from a GitHub repository as an anonymous (not logged in) user. *git clone https://github.com/godotengine/godotā¦ works for anyone with an Internet connection.
ā
Just adding as some asked - if you want to quote this to people who still believe weāre mass blocking people on GitHub and cutting them off their tech stack, feel free to grab a screenshot. I locked my account while the heat dies down, so you canāt easily link those tweets.
ahahaha thatās amazing
it also pushed me to start learning Godot since its community seems awesome, and thatās definitely showing through on the docs so far ā they go into so much depth on why Godotās designed like it is, and what specifically itās good for
Iāve only just started, but itās reminding me very positively of what Unreal Engine was for a brief period of time: a runtime for a powerful domain-specific scripting language that could be extended by native code when needed, targeting indie devs
unfortunately Tim Sweeney kind of sucks at designing languages (though he used to do it a lot) so UnrealScript was a real fucking mess, and UE never really captured the indie market (cause you had to pay a fuckload for the privilege of writing native code) so UnrealScript got excised and the engine became āfreeā (as in free timeshare) and entirely refocused on developers pumping out AAA garbage and other whales (and, more charitably, anyone who needs an engine that can do state of the art graphics)
Godot, so far, to me feels kind of like an Unreal Engine that didnāt fuck up with the indie market and also isnāt closed source greedware
also apparently thereās a new Unreal scripting language? itās got the Haskell guy behind it and itās functional which is cool, but itās also already bathed in horseshit:
Verse is the new scripting language for Unreal Engine, first implemented in Fortnite.[11] Simon Peyton Jones, known for his contributions to the Haskell programming language, joined Epic Games in December 2021 as Engineering Fellow to work on Verse with his long-time colleague Lennart Augustsson and others.[12] Conceived by Sweeney,[13] it was officially presented at Haskell eXchange in December 2022 as an open source functional-logic language for the metaverse.[14] A research paper, titled The Verse Calculus: a Core Calculus for Functional Logic Programming, was also published.[15]
The language was eventually launched in March 2023 as part of the release of the Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) at the Game Developers Conference, with plans to be available to all Unreal Engine users by 2025.[11]
so I guess Fortnite modders can weigh in on how good Haskell for Gaming is
e: also, imagine if any of these pro gamers knew Godot is the Cassette Beasts and Cruelty Squad engine
