Want to wade into the snowy surf of the abyss? 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 so 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.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)
The title is Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says ‘I think we’ve achieved AGI’. He then seemed to slightly walk back the claim, but it might be slightly more accurate to say that:
"Huang said we've achieved AGI. Because he thinks everyone except him is a replaceable idiot"

Is it "We achieved AGI, the Machine is now Conscious" Day again already? It comes around so fast
Apropos of nothing, archive.is ddos-d a website and altered page snapshots as part of some sort of inscrutable net drama causing Wikipedia to stop using it.
So if anyone cares about such things here's a wayback machine link instead
That said: lmao. Where are all these billion dollar LLM-run Tamogotchi feeding startups hiding? Still in the strawberry counting phase of starting a business?
"Congratulations guys, we did it. Job well done. You're all fired."
