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.
just about a month since we had the LLM security thread, and now there's some more hilaribad coming out at blackhat
wow, remember when a bunch of random posters came to that security thread to try and gaslight us into thinking the very similar attack described in @dgerard@awful.systems’s blog post wasn’t a security vulnerability? and now it’s a Black Hat talk, aka “you fucked up and now the world knows about it”
holy fuck that’s damning. LLMs are so worthless on their own that they can’t do anything unless you’ve got everything hooked up to RAG, which is just a wide-open API with access to all your data.
