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.
wait wait wait wait this it not substack of some deranged fash techbro ghoul like balaji srinivasan, that's JAMA, are you sure these are actual MDs and not three techbros in a stolen labcoat
one of them - first author - has three fluff pieces on genai in similar tone to their name, the other two, it seems to me, didn't wrote a thing about ai earlier
then again scott siskind exists, but this is not something that i'd expect even from him
JAMA article's not in scihub, anyone got a copy?
anything newer than 2022? won't be on scihub, because scihub got in a court case in india, that they hope they can win and secure reasonably stable place where they can operate from
tho it seems to me that the entire article is that three screens of text
