Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 16 June 2024
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 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.
You're viewing a single thread.
(Well, this goes some way to explaining "AI" "art")
This has got to be some sort of sucker filter, like it's not that he particularly means it, it's that he is after the exact type of rube who is unfazed by naked contrarianism and the categorically preposterous so long as it's said with a straight face,.
Maybe there's something to the whole pick up artistry but for nailing VCs thing.
It really is as simple as that. The dude got a fair bit of attention from his LSTM blog post and got addicted. Turns out, you can't churn out awesome blog posts that often so you gotta switch to the harder stuff.
according to modern film scholars, this cultural shift was brought about by the lasting audience impact of that scene in Speed (1994) where the bus fucking noclips across a gap while pretending there’s a ramp it’s using to jump (or Keanu made it pop a wheelie?)
"Are you telling me I can jump a bus across a 50 foot gap at 67 miles per hour?"
"No Neo, I'm telling you that when you're ready, you won't have to."
Wasn't 1994 right about when they stopped making movies in black and white?
I bet that guy watches anime on 2x speed and skips parts without dialog to feel more “productive”.
Anime has dialog? Nani?
ANTA BAKA?!*
*translator's note: baka means "plan"
I also hate movies where I can see the actual action going on and it isn't all shaky cam and cuts cuts cuts.
Who? Is that some indie movie director?
Andrej Karpathy is a former director of AI at Tesla and a founding member of OpenAI
So just a rando with a stupid opinion. Go back to your totally-not-naive AGI vision board.
