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.

I wonder what the fuck the median engineer is even doing if ā1000xā engineers supposedly exist.
@bitofhope @BlueMonday1984 Maybe heās going to rewrite AI in a weekend to make it good!
Itās also incredibly misleading, maybe it was possible to ācompletelyā re-write the UI back in 2005ānever mind that most of the value would come from, the underlying geographic data being mostly correct and mostly correctly labeledāthere is no way in hell that the same would achievable in 2024. (Also the notion it would take any coder
2 * 1000 / (365 * 5/7) =
7 years to achieve a comparable result is proposterous)Apparently the 1x engineer is taking weekends instead of working 24/7.
