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 - this one was a bit late, I got distracted)
My organic chemistry professor used ChatGPT to write a lab procedure. My other chemistry professorās daughter is VP of AI at Microsoft. AAAAA
Two posts in two weeks about professors using ChatGPT has me questioning my desire to go back to school
Colleges have always had their share of awful professors. Same as it ever was, really.
Ah I recall a CS prof who had his computer world writeable shared on the network who used to smoke cigars in the no smoking allowed building. When confronted with his computer being world writable he first denied it, so much so that students how to give him a live demonstration of them changing files on his workstation. That was amusing.
