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.
I didnāt intend to make any comment on morality. US law seems relevant given that itās near-impossible to find one of these nonsense AI startups that isnāt either in the US or targeting US customers. Indeed, this one looks to be based in Los Angeles.
I literally stated that the thing I was referencing in my comment (that you replied to) was from ZA. but I appreciate your doubled-down US-centrism in your second reply. nice job! glad you can remind me again! I mustāve forgotten about it in the handful of hours since you last did it!
@froztbyte @Eiim āZAā is not a country abbreviation that many united statians know, at least from my anecdotal experience.
āknowing about ZA as the ISO codeā is not, in fact, the thing I was addressing there :)
Iām familiar enough with country codes that I do know what ZA means, but in the context I didnāt realize that it was referring to a country, I thought it was just an abbreviation I wasnāt familiar with. In retrospect that probably should have stood out to me more.
