Feel like you want to sneer about something but you don’t 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 cut’n’paste it into its own post, there’s no quota here and the bar really isn’t that high

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

    The replies to somebody aggressively (and downvoted) pointing out some of the flaws in Jarts post are bad. Damn.

    an LLM cannot be used to create a better LLM

    By that logic most humans are also not intelligent.

    No you dweeb, they are talking about model collapse, that thing what happens to this 90’s tech.

    Oh, it doesn’t work? That’s because IT’S NOT INTELLIGENT.

    Ok, let’s run this test of “real intelligence” on you. We eagerly await to see your model. Should be a piece of cake.

    This is both a weird adhom and a god is hiding in the gaps style argument. (While I have some sympathy for this Peter Watts style argument it is incredibly weak (their post history (8) is more of this very weak stuff)).
