Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll 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 cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting 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.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this. Happy Halloween, fellow sneerers!)


They are capable of ignoring Eliezer’s instructions, but only when it means making an even worse decision.Okay, actually, Eliezer used GenAI to slop out the picture for the visual novel we mocked recently, so I guess they just don’t care about trying to make an individual stand?
Thread about that, for anyone who missed it:

I poked around the repo some more a while ago… it’s somewhat enlightening into why the story is Like That. I should probably write up a sneer on it, though it was already out of the stubsack by that point…
I just barely skimmed the repo; if there’s better sneer material to be found on deeper inspection, I’m all for it. :-)
