Need to make a primal scream without gathering 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!
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.

This post almost made me crash my self-driving car.
I am once again begging these e/acc fucking idiots to actually read and engage with the sci-fi books they keep citing
but who am I kidding? the only way you come up with a take as stupid as āhumans are pets in the Cultureā is if your only exposure to the books is having GPT summarize them
Itās mad that we have an actual existential crisis in climate change (temperature records broken across the world this year) but these cunts are driving themselves into a frenzy over something that is nowhere near as pressing or dangerous. Oh, people dying of heatstroke isnāt as glamorous? Fuck off
Seriously, could someone gift this dude a subscription to spicyautocompletegirlfriends.ai so he can finally cum?

Actually not what is happening in the books. I get where they are coming form but this requires redefining the word pet in such a way it is a useless word.
The Culture series really breaks the brains of people who can only think in hierarchies.
If youāve been around the block like I have, youāve seen reports about people joining cults to await spaceships, people preaching that the world is about to end &c. Itās a staple trope in old New Yorker cartoons, where a bearded dude walks around with a billboard saying āThe End is nighā.
The tech world is growing up, and a new internet-native generation has taken over. But everyone is still human, and the same pattern-matching that leads a 19th century Christian to discern when the world is going to end by reading Revelation will lead a 25 year old tech bro steeped in ārationalismā to decide that spicy autocomplete is the first stage of The End of the Human Race. The only difference is the inputs.
Sufficiently advanced prompts are indistinguishable from prayer
if i only could, iād prompt-engineer God,
Ah yes, AGI companies, the things that definitely exist
not a cult btw
Maybe AI could do Better than weāve doneā¦ Weāll make great pets
