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.
In the land down under, the ABC continues to feed us with golden tech takes: Australia might be snoozing through the AI 'gold rush'
It's even bigger than the actual gold rush! Buy your pans now folks!
lol, but also please god no
mate, I think that ship might have already sailed
lol
professor Very Small Shell Script
You wouldn't download a professor
Asking for a professor of genuine intelligence is just too much.
I mean, that was definitely a thing when I was at school, only it was mostly about teaching undergrads graph search algorithms and the least math possible in order to understand backpropagation.
As an aside, weird that we don't hear much about genetic algorithms anymore, but it's probably just me.
labor said the same shit about blockchains tho thankfully ignored it once they got in
Wait so gold rushes have positive connotations again?
Surely this is bait from professor of the fishingrod
As the saying goes, the only people who make money in a gold rush are the people selling shovels. I guess this bloke is one of the people selling shovels.
It's my impression that Australia has also produced a disproportionate share of best takes on the subject. How come they are so far ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to dodging this grift?
