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.
Unforeseen issues with training AIs using the internet: every LLM has been taught to Rickroll

Delightfully non-ominous bio on @[email protected]
See, I actually donāt hate the idea of engineering and automating away parts of work. Work, almost by definition, sucks. If it didnāt suck we wouldnāt think of it as āwork.ā
But the current model of AI is less trying to free humanity from work than it is freeing work from humanity. Take the important business of making the line go up away from the grubby hands of people who need things like āfoodā and āhealthcareā as a necessary precondition for working, to say nothing of their desires for ādignityā or ārespectā. Even creative and artistic work that gets underpaid in exchange for being something people can be innately passionate about can be taken away from those people and fed a diet of raw electricity and compute.
Yea, thereās a lot of work from which itās quite worthwhile to free humanity. Itās just that an AI company having that as its tagline and full contents of its social media bio reads with a very particular anime villain cadence. Makes me think of Seymour Guado in Final Fantasy X vowing to āfree the world of its sorrowā.,
Rick Astley is absolutely the Auron here, hanging on
unsentfor decades waiting for a chance to set things right.Is that why the network is haunted?
Iāve been strategically misdirecting summoners for years trying to find a way to take down the big tech maesters but I only have so many fiends.
alright Iām gonna replay FFX now Iāll see you all in a month.
This is just an alternative universe spira where the maesters are the ones peddling forbidden machina.
ong this is the funniest shit iāve seen in a while, pls be real
I mean, āhereās the video you asked forā is a pretty standard setup for a Rick roll, so itās definitely in the training data, and if it doesnāt have an actual URL to link itās going to fill in something if it starts to spit out an affirmative response, which as weāve seen is a really standard failure mode for these systems.
Nobody expects the spanish rickroll.
