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 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 so 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.

AI shills: buh-buh-buh LLMs aren’t stochastic parrots. They are so smart!
Of course the agent in question didn’t actually take the weekend off it just learned from reinforcement learning across many millions of stolen slack chats that this is something people are likely to say in stand ups and repeated it…
Found the guy’s webshite - its zero effort mInImAlIsT garbage at its core, and it proudly advertises his role in making scamchain, scamchain and more scamchain.
So, nothing really shocking
I expected a lot of things, but I didn’t expect to be flashbanged.

“No you see this is proof that the AI is conscious because its mimicking human behaviour so it can take over the world!”
What are you going to do with your weekend, Claude?
The same thing we do every weekend. Try to take over the world!
Weekend’s are for the chatbot running the bill so high the account owner can throw a fit on twitter and demand to speak to the manager
I love the little “???”, it’s so telling. also the implicit presumption under “you don’t have weekends”
If one can ignore the externalities involved, this is hilariously absurd.
yup. and I bet in a couple of weeks/months there will be some pearl clutching as the “agent” once again replies something like this once that “memory” blows past its context window
How likely is it also that it didnt write this to memory at all, and it might do it again next weekend. (Clearly that agent is going to be a weekend binge drinker).
