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, 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.
HN thread on leak: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40135250
thatās a pretty big hint as to how someone got the APK ā they most likely just dumped the device, and I look forward to an analysis of the contents of the full ROM dump.
most of the orange site thread is absolute garbage, but their CTO posted this incoherent crap on discord (of course itās discord):
whatās fucking wild is a lot of the orange site posters just take this indecipherable bullshit as fact? like a bunch of the thread just starts criticizing the leak because thereās no LLM model in it but like, thatās the fucking point? according to the leakās README, the LAM is just a thin and ridiculously insecure way to hook GPT up to a tiny selection of third-party services without even using a proper API. itās mostly just a ridiculously fragile test automation that wonāt scale, triggered by GPT (or, letās go stupider, itās probably actually activated by a fuzzy match on the transcript of the userās voice input). so many orange site posters are trying to talk past the fucking point of the leak, and for fucking what? an overpriced ugly orange cell phone that isnāt actually useful for anything.
and not to talk past the elephant in the room myself: you can extract the fucking node backend source from rabbitās login āminionsā (services?) if you just spend enough time with them? what in the fuck?
MVP = Minimum Venture-fundable Prototype
Holy fuck! That man does not sound like an engineer. Why is he the CTO of anything?
