Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

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 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.

(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this.)

I want someone to take this and run it in a self-feeding loop, I want to see what the limit supremum of AI Imagery looks like

Do you want agi basilisk anime girls because this is how you get agi basilisk anime girls

Honestly it's either that or some rosewattasttone level translation errors which sounds like a pretty good risk to take for me.

Past a certain point it's easier for people to cut the genAI out of the picture and just actually draw the shit they're being asked for rather than badger the machine into creating something satisfactory, at which point irony will be well and truly dead.

yep, have made the same critique. the way people "overcommit" on this is a fascinating interplay of sunk cost fallacy combined with some other shit
