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.)
A second LLM shitshow has hit vim - this time, its the lead maintainer losing his marbles:
If you wanna see the disaster for yourself, the entire threadās still on GitHub as of this writing.
That is pretty sad to see, but also, who refers to Claude as āheā? This is the second time Iām seeing this and it makes me skin crawl
Now that he killed children in cold blood Claude has been made a man. In fact, he is a 6ā3" Anglo and my boyfriend.
Oh man, if genAI destroys the profession of toxic masculinity podcaster watch me turn booster on a dime
monkeyās paw curls and AI destroys the profession by creating infinite andrew tate and freshnfit clones so that more people than ever watch manosphere podcasts, but no actual humans can make a living from producing them.
If Tate loses his job, whoās to say if thatās good or bad
(No but really itās bad, very bad)
One of my superiors at work calls it āhe.ā
I mean, Claude is a male name. Blame Anthropomorphic for it.
Iām calling it Anthropomorphic accidentally on-purpose forever now.
That canāt be entirely it. Do you call Alexa the voice assistant tool āsheā?
I donāt really call Alexa anything since I saw one like once in my life. But itās very likely Iād default to āsheā when talking, the thing even has a female voice.
My point is that the corporation behind Claude would probably love you to say āheā, the same way Amazon would very much like you calling Alexa āsheā.
