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.
the voice for OpenAI’s Sky got taken offline because they tried to copy Scarlett Johansson’s voice for it (she voiced the AI in Her) after she repeatedly told them no (via this mastodon post which links the original NPR article):
HN incorrecting themselves on celebrity personality rights

Are we talking about blockchain crimes again?
yes, that’s right
Man I miss n-gate
we’re n-gate but nicer
what happened, the guy got bored and left? I miss it too :(
It’s nice to know we have looped back to the point in history where we casually consider which people should have agency over their reproductive rights. Oh wait, no it’s not nice at all, but somehow still totally acceptable and commonplace.
You should watch the movie Idiocraty.
Grim stuff in that thread.
Sorry, im a habitual contrarian about this movie (good for that poster that they commit to not do an idiocracy and use tools that helps people, for example searching for the name of a movie), but reminder that that movie is basically utopian as it takes place 500 years in the future, and the American way of life is still going strong, and the problem of the food crisis is basically solved in a week.
I think that the movie is just a shallow criticism of Bush-era conservativism and 90s “trash TV” (that was already in decline by this time). Interrogating the implications of its scifi premise feels like not meeting the movie where it’s at, which is an optimism (alien to me) that the USA is fundamentally sound and only needs a nominally reasonable Joe American to keep the levers of power away from Those Guys.
It is. It isn’t that deep I know, just wanted to point out a small thing which the people who hyperfocus on the semi-eugenics argument seem to always miss in the ‘cbt (link SFW, some links on that page are not however) is funny’ movie.
Also someone bringing up “population collapse” which is a recent(?) right-wing/techbro trope. Everything about everyone expressing worries about “sub replacement birth rates” screams “we must prevent people with wombs from making their own decisions about whether to have kids”.
A good portion of online rw politics is just a desparate cry for removed blanketed with callous dogma.
I don’t know anything about evolution or genetics, and I’m pretty sure this guy doesn’t either. Why would everyone become disabled because more disabled people survive and pass on their genes to their kids? We don’t stone gingers to death and yet we are not all having red-headed kids.
The repeated use of the word “weak” (as opposed to “sick” or “disabled”) seems revealing.
I can’t say for sure that he thinks of genetics as bloodlines, and is concerned about its purity, but I can have my suspicions.
extremely weird shit across the board from that user. account claims to be “18M” and running “manjaro and mint”, and then has a shell on sdf.org? along with the posts, “Yes, I’d prefer not being resuscitated. If I am finally dead, let it stay that way” just from that thread (and a number of other choice entries elsewhere in their history)
like come the fuck on, can it be more sus
How is having an SDF account weird? Because it’s for olds? Or they’re hardcore BSDers?
just fishy in aggregate. I wouldn’t say so much “because for olds” as “it’s far more likely for old(er)s to want something like that”. combine that with the wide array of other posts the account has engaged with, and the bio just wholly looks like bullshit to me
I mean I did fuck around on some public VAX hosted things and such in the early 00s, so it’s not impossible for this to be a true thing, but yeah. just smells off
I agree that it’s fishy in this instance, but dig around in the “smol web” subculture (gemini protocol, etc) and you’ll find plenty of youngs who live in shells… cf. tilde.town
Oh yeah, I know about those :) it was more specifically about this exact instance indeed
A well-respected terminal emulator for the Mac decides to slather on AI sauce, and most users are not happy. But there are others who are outraged that slathering AI sauce onto a product is even seen as a negative. Let’s take a break from HN to take a look at the tortured souls on lobste.rs who won’t let this aggression stand, man:
https://lobste.rs/s/7aglnr/psa_iterm2_now_has_chatgpt_integration
archive link in case mods decide to nuke it
Personal favs:
This is the sort of hatred and resentment that is uncomfortable to see on a public forum.
Hi, this is the internet, you must be new here.
I’m mostly checked out of here as a result until the mods get it under control.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Edit as a bonus, here’s the HN discussion. Same situaton there, the promptfondlers are surprised everyone is mad
I don’t like AI hype either but I don’t feel the need to use Lobsters to rally groups of people to mass punish projects who add optional AI-friendly features. That is quite disturbing.
ok. I tried writing something sarcastic and sneery but alas, I don’t think I can mock this person hard enough to satisfy my ethical obligation.
Smearing the developer as “ai-brained” is hateful.
wake up babe new slur just dropped
Soon they will discover that they can use AI to autogenerate new minority definitions for them and we on the left will be powerless to stop them.
(We will mock them for it, and tell them this new made up thing doesn’t count, but we cannot stop them).
Saw this update yesterday and it pissed me really off. I’ve been using iTerm for almost 20 years at this point and it’s a really good and well-integrated terminal application for Mac OS, and no one asked for it to add spicy autocomplete.
Or maybe I’ll just move over to Alacritty. I use that one my Linux machines and it’s actually good, but the attitude of some of the developers when it comes to feature requests and contributions really makes me like it less than I could.
tbh the enforced civility and de facto ban on social issue discussion on lobste is not helping. (but after last “polite discussion” i had with the moderator i’m not going to bring it up anymore, just suspend the account or wait to be banned.)
yeah frankly that sort of shit is why I haven’t even tried to get a lobsters account
bullshit should be called out as bullshit at any point in time. dressing it up in niceties is playing the wrong game, and has been abused by the worst people around for years
Noooooooooooooo! Argh, I’ll have to seriously consider using the fork FML.
EDIT: Not strictly required since apparently you have to provide an API key for it to be enabled, still it’s not encouraging that the main developer thought this would be a good idea.
You’ve got to love the prompt jank: https://github.com/gnachman/iTerm2/commit/755dc2ed881d853f495ffaea2498452915e5e8cd?diff=split&w=0
EDIT 2: Given direct access to bad AI code to a dev workstation is bad enough, but given that the console is a primary way to connect to servers, where more havoc could be wrought, this is terrifying, I mean sure devs were already capable of bricking enviromnents, but supercharging “knowing just enough to be dangerous” is NOT a good idea.
for people who thought this might not be related to the llm brainworms, the reasoning of the iterm2 author for inclusion of the feature (when promptedy by @[email protected]) :
I got a number of requests. I also got tired of copy-pasting things to ChatGPT. Usually if I find a feature useful, other people do, too.
The latest beta has options to turn the shit off totally. The text mixes metaphors with wild abandon but I think it’s safe to say the promptfondling was not huge success
The whole debacle astounds me. Is there a more universally privileged application users frequently use than the shell? As a general rule it can elevate privs to full control far more aggressively than any other commonly used application, with minimal sandboxing at most.
Inorite? Even if there was the requirement of an API key being enabled that was only revealed after some time. If smeone says “my terminal has GPT now” of course your mind goes to it outputting
sudo rm -rf /for some random prompt.Edit nevertheless I am thankful because I’ve had a lot of fun identifying promptfondlers on lobste.rs and pointing and laughing at them.
Putting the “evangelist” in product evangelist.
thanks for mentioning this, I’m definitely going to have to nack that update and send a gfy mail
query mail sent
hell, if anyone else is curious to also poke:
I presume I'm not the first nor (will I be the last) to ask about this, but for the weight of the argument it's still worth asking are you planning on keeping the openai garbage directly integrated in iterm2? and "just turn it off with a setting" isn't a good answer tbh I don't want it in the terminal I use. I don't want it in any software I touch. openai are a deceptive abuse company led by an abusive liar, and it saddens me to see yet another good thing get taken up in the hype these charlatans drive no "I've been $x for $y" pleading arguments here, I don't want to try bend your ear with any number of platitudes and such you've heard from others - just straight-up asking the above
Update 4 days later, the main Karen in charge of the promptfondlers is calling for the banning of users impertinent enough to flag their comments.
reporter: This AI development is a Big Deal™.
me: y tho?
reporter: Oh, I’m so glad you asked! The AI is IN the computer!
me: y tho?
reporter: To win the race to get AI everywhere the fastest!
me: sorry, y tho?
reporter: Oh my, you sure have a lot of questions! Look, let’s not try to make any sense of this. After all, only our tech-daddies have the answers!
me: begins weeping
reporter: Don’t cry! At least we’re all in this together, right???
While AI being “in” a computer might sound as obvious as blue being “in” the sky, this is actually one of those things that is a Big Deal™. AI models are normally either downloaded or used online, but Microsoft has just announced an “AI computer”, meaning the technology is in-built. It’s the company’s latest play in the overheated race to see which tech giant can get the most AI into the most places, fastest.
What does it mean? Hard to say! In case you haven’t worked it out yet, this is all one big live experiment, and we’re the rats. Perhaps there’s some comfort in knowing we’ll all find out together.
edit: oh no, this is the same author I sneered at for quirkwashing e/acc. nothing personal, I just die a little inside every time I read something like this, and a little death is always better shared!
I started pre-hurting in 2018-2019 when I saw SoC vendors pitch things as AI chips because you could natively run accelerated models on them for speech and image recognition. Yes, really, that was the total pitch. It’s AI because you could run models. Where to train the models, what the total scope of capacity was, total execution space, total throughput, etc? No no, not practically touched at all in those docs
And where I said pre-hurting? At the time I thought “oh god”….you can imagine how quaint that memory feels in retrospect right now
oh yeah doing embedded dev that was always the worst. my RISC-V SoC has an AI accelerator on it! cool, what does the datasheet say it does? TensorFlow lite and nothing else. ok maybe I can use that silicon for something else at least? nope, there’s no documentation on its capabilities or how it works at all, it just does TensorFlow lite. shit well ok, what can I do with TensorFlow lite? you can load the example model we’ve provided and make a shitty voice activation trigger or try to train a model but there’s no docs. well fuck me then.
And don’t you dare ask about the intended binary representation, that’s obviously some illegal hacker shit
Just render it out with lite! What do you mean about in 3-5y? Software doesn’t change, you scrub. We have a golden master toolchain right here on our ftp, it’s at

Finally the realization that academia is just an industry producing artifacts (published papers) and not anything as abstract as “science” and “knowledge” gets the tool it deserves
Github - data-to-paper: AI-driven scientific research
I’m sure this will be fine and not cause any issues whatsoever.
I mentioned this in the last weekly thread, but check out the 5th citation in their example paper (the one that says nothing in particular about type 2 diabetes)
T. Schnurr, Hermina Jakupovi, Germn D. Carrasquilla, L. ngquist, N. Grarup, T. Srensen, A. Tjnneland, K. Overvad, O. Pedersen, T. Hansen, and T. Kilpelinen. Obesity, unfavourable lifestyle and genetic risk of type 2 diabetes: a case-cohort study. Diabetologia, 63:1324–1332, 2020.
I left a HN comment that they got the names wrong for Hermina Jakupović, Germán D Carrasquilla, Lars Ängquist, Thorkild Sørensen, Anne Tjønneland, and Tuomas O Kilpeläinen. They thanked me for my “thorough” review (read: I glanced over it for giggles at like 2 AM).
All of AI is just this. A boring person’s idea of creativity. A manager’s idea of programming. A stupid person’s idea of science.

Not a sneer, and as such NSFW, but here is a short hbomberguy style video: I Debunked Evolutionary Psychology, featuring friend of the sneer PrimalPoly, by the talented münecat.
Scam investigator Coffeezilla is working on the Rabbit AI guy, and he’s off to a good start. Most of the other press is about the device not working, while this focuses more on the scammy NFT / crypto past of the founder.
the follow-up video is fucking scathing, and I’d like to take a moment to remember all the orange site posters who were fucking wrong when they pretended the rabbit leak was fake
The lumina saga continues. https://trevorklee.substack.com/p/luminas-legal-threats-and-my-about
TL;DR: Lumina guy sent Trevor a mean letter and Trevor has reworded some things to protect against libel. He still stands by the original blog post.
The orange site has some fairly milquetoast opinions.
Dude, if the product wasn’t safe, I wouldn’t be using it myself, giving it to my girlfriend, and giving it to my friends.
Love to give off snakeoil salesman vibes in a weird faux friendly legal threat.
Surprise Aella reference in those HN comments! (well, surprise that one commenter noted “the Bay Area’s most overrated escort”, and a replier directly inferred it was her)
Now I wonder if there’s an app rating Bay Area escorts…
It’s a well recognized rule that every time Lumina comes up, someone has to mention that Aella is connected to the project. Then, someone must make a joke about Lumina adding anti-toothbrushing to her anti-showering arsenal. HN hasn’t caught up to the last bit yet.
Tedium and logorrhea in the substack comments, as intended. I wonder how often people on LW use “ink spilled” and “column inches” to describe themselves.
lol @ this austin chen guy, who seems to be an investor in Lumina, as well as a user of the project going like “dude just get on the phone with him, I’m sure he totally won’t corner you with threats and such, he’s a great guy I swear bro!”
So who is going to be first to set up a grifty EA think tank where the thinking is admittedly all done by LLMs, and why shouldn’t it be us.
Pull a Rabbit AI and use Playwright to operate an Emacs instance running Eliza. Say that buying more infrastructure will yield better results. Pocket the money that was for supposed infrastructure investment. Profit!
Bold of you to think we have not already started doing this to mess with the EA/LW minds. Why do you think we suddenly talk less about all the outrageous weird shit they say on LW? We don’t want to out ourselves. For example
Kevin Beaumont got access to Copilot+ and hoo boy it’s even stupider than it sounds:
I got ahold of the Copilot+ software.
Recall uses a bunch of services themed CAP - Core AI Platform. Enabled by default.
It spits constant screenshots (the product brands then “snapshots”, but they’re hooked screenshots) into the current user’s AppData as part of image storage.
The NPU processes them and extracts text, into a database file.
The database is SQLite, and you can access it as the user including programmatically. It 100% does not need physical access and can be stolen.
and the anti-backlash begins, because snapdragons are magical and microsoft has never fucked over its users
you know what really fucking gets me about this thing? even “before” all of the security and DV etc arguments (and, really, they are all valid)
consider the average consumer-human (present version of) windows desktop/laptop/workstation that has survived for more than a year or so without having been re-imaged. those are already often an unusable nightmare of built-up cruft in sticky corners
and now there’s going to be something that’ll do constant capture and analysis every fucking moment it’s running?
how the fuck is this not going to go wrong? imagine the first time that sqlite table shits the bed. a dodgy character format goes into it, or a bit of disk corruption hits, or a file locking (lololol) issue hits, or …
I just … I just really can’t imagine any of this is going to go very well at all in the real world
I’m calling it, when this bullshit gets deployed widely a bunch of absolute shitheads are going to dismiss Kevin’s post with “that was the prototype, they changed everything for the real version” and the only thing that’ll change is they’ll superficially encrypt the SQLite file

holy shit this is terrifying. is there any reason the tv is even doing this?
I’d bet on just buggy implementation. my bet is based on the fact that I’ve seen (multiple) hisense TVs do another thing: a MDNS query + publish, with the record having a newline in the fucking record. like,
tvname-{macstring}\n.local.to be clear: they both ask for and answers to that record. to their own request.
there are some extremely hilariously terrible things in a lot of these yoloboxed android solutions
love how the MS shill eventually reaches:
Okay, here’s a question; when has the casual consumer ever cared about privacy?
narcissist’s prayer speed-run
every fucking time! and the answer seems to be: they care enough that privacy’s a core part of Apple’s marketing, but microsoft’s core competency is still managing Maslow’s hierarchy of needs enough that their users are on average just barely more inconvenienced by switching operating systems than they are dealing with whatever new shit’s being sprung on them (and this latest new shit’s gone from annoying to actively dangerous, so the tactic is to convince users it’s irrelevant to them until it’s made mandatory, as Microsoft does, and then the pain of suddenly switching operating systems will be even greater)
27 years of trying to make clippy mandatory and they’re still fucking at it but surely this time they’ll listen to their users
People simping for Microsoft makes my '90s-kid brain boggle.
As someone who did come to love a lot of microsoft products despite the way I felt about them in the 90’s, their slow slide into whatever they are now makes me hate them more, not less. Microsoft genuinely spent a lot of the oughts making genuinely good general purpose stuff, and they absolutely dominated at accessibility for 20 years. So when people simp for them as they destroy everything I found great about their products, instead of holding them to account, it’s awful.
Guess who bought the dictation software I rely on for everything I do and then basically abandoned the useful consumer product and is now sticking gippity-4 into it? Stick it in GitHub, stick it in Windows, add it to your complete breakfast, wear it on your head.
@gnomicutterance @blakestacey the new guard trying to reinvent the world with Windows 11, and completely ignoring multiple screen layouts, doesn’t understand that Windows is a workstation OS.
Or maybe they don’t want that market anymore? Which seems short sighted.My Windows machines have all been skinned to work like XP for 20 years, and sometimes I have to use other people’s computers and I don’t even understand how they get anything done. My start menu is predictable and the items in it are in the same place and with the same keystrokes every day. There’s no ads in it. It doesn’t tell me the weather or the sports scores when I don’t ask for them. My taskbar shows me the names of all the windows I have open. This should all be normal.
LOL, the first thing I saw of these new lappys was a breathless Verge article saying “finally MS will release the Macbook Air killer” and the very next thing is the poisoned chalise that is “you want a fast efficient Windows machine? well you just have to accept the AI recording everything you do on it”. Fucking own goal.
the incredible efficiency of writing OCRed screenshots to SQLite constantly
so Linux on laptops is frequently a shitshow in terms of power management, but bespoke Linux hardware that comes tuned (like the Steam Deck or laptops from Linux vendors) seems to do a lot better than Windows for efficiency. I’m hoping this is an area where shit gets better for Linux as hardware vendors start to take it more seriously.
well, this hurts in how accurately it hits
so cultish that even the LW comments worry it’s cultish - don’t worry about my feet bleeding
deleted by creator
Meanwhile some of the comments are downright terrifying, also the whole “research” output is overly-detailed yet lacking any substance, and deeply deeply in fantasy land, but all the comments a debating in favour of or against what is perceived as “real work”, and in terms of presentation “vibes”.
I mean my parents always said that fascist/cultish movements have issues distinguishing signified and signifier, but good grief. (Yes too much Lacan in the household)
I love the guy who goes in and says “but you really should give this guy money! I know he has produced absolutely no research or work worthy of a second glance but he’s my friend and I promise he SOUNDS suuuuper smart! btw I read the Sequences once. funding now??”
I wonder what Peter Thiel would think about using disability benefits. Does he fly Ayn Rand style, where it’s okay to benefit from it while actively campaigning against it?
None of the commenters seem to think keeping a safe work environment is part of work.
EA overdue to all be wiped out from a disease contracted from a dirty telephone.
Just like everybody else, i understood that reference!
Back when I used reddit, r/badmathematics would feature weirdos that posted REAMS of shit just like that guy’s whiteboard pictures. There, we called them cranks.
Please hire me for AI safety, I create active work place hazards around me and therefore small children and animals are not safe around me, but I really work hard (unless it is cleaning up).
Wonder if he is single.
This post also reminds me of the story I heard about a brilliant but weird math professor who had a tendency to touch walls when he walked around in the building. Eventually, in supreme cargo cult behavior, students also started to touch walls in an unconscious hope this would improve their math skills. Anyway this guys hopes and dreams to be hired would be shattered if he ever hears the people hiring him are a fan of Taleb.
Good that the communities first reaction is saying this is a mh red flag. (It is also a workplace red flag)

I have worked with a couple of these eager shitwits over the years, and they are awful. they’ll effortgraft waaaay into a thing that they think is totes the solution, “deliver” it as “done” (aka “here’s a branch that already does all that, we can take it live now”), which all so handily allows them to frame any questions/criticism/etc as “don’t you think we need ${problem} to be solved?”
the. fucking. worst.
sudden flashback to when $eagerdev pushed a branch that implemented
test-infrasteered by ansible… in which you needed to write secondary, entirely separate, roles/specs for thetest-infrathing to “verify”(didn’t even try to hook ansible definitions (frankly I wouldn’t want to either (but if ansible weren’t so fucking shit at what it does _that whole thing wouldn’t have been necessary in the first place)))
Never occurred to them to simply put shoes on.
Shoes aren’t rational
you know what
a not-insignificant element of the TPOT cluster is the “cozy”/“vibes” aspect
and for some reason your reply just made me think the thought “while they espouse their shitty views they want to be comfortable, to maximize feeling unchallenged, to really get into it”
on the one hand it feels like an obvious realisation, but I also hadn’t really thought of it specifically like that before
(admittedly I’m briefly jumping from “rats -> postrats” there by referencing the TPOT cluster, but as is known the latter haven’t really changed their beliefs just their rendering)
dunno how to verify any of this, but xooglers who were there for G+ say it absolutely rings true
A friend saw this on LinkedIn.

unfortunately, logitech’s ahead of you on that one, and of course it’s the type of lazy shit you could design in an afternoon, so that means they’re gonna sell you a $50 AI Edition mouse:
Logitech Signature AI Edition mouse: $49 @ Logitech
This is a new version of the Logitech M750 wireless mouse that comes with a new teal button on top specifically intended to be used for the AI Prompt Builder. Of course, you could likely remap it using Logitech’s software to do whatever you want.

fuck me this is why I make peripherals from components these days instead of buying keyboards and mice fucking laden with this bullshit. when my current (no-name) vertical mouse kicks the bucket I’m gonna have to see what repairable mouse kits are available to replace it
Thank god I can have a button on my mouse to open ChatGPT in Windows. It was so hard to open it with only the button in the taskbar, the start menu entry, the toolbar button in every piece of Microsoft software, the auto-completion in browser text fields, the website, the mobile app, the chatbot in Microsoft’s search engine, the chatbot in Microsoft’s chat software, and the button on the keyboard.

If you like trackballs, Ploopy is great. They’re open source all the way down, mostly 3D-printable, and actually better than most commercially available trackballs.
They also have a mouse kit, but I can’t speak for that.
they’ve been high on my list to check out! last I checked I don’t think they have a pure kit version, but if the quality’s good then I don’t mind paying for a built version as long as I can replace most of its parts when the time comes
somehow missed this previously, but: Redhat Chatbot Linux!
Today, Red Hat announced a developer preview of Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI (RHEL AI), a foundation model platform to seamlessly develop, test and run best-of-breed, open source Granite generative AI models to power enterprise applications. RHEL AI is based on the InstructLab open source project and combines open source-licensed Granite large language models from IBM Research and InstructLab model alignment tools, based on the LAB (Large-scale Alignment for chatBots) methodology, in an optimized, bootable RHEL image to simplify server deployments.
the “LAB methodology”. I wonder if someone broke out the rack and thumbscrews to get a name that tortured
given what I’ve seen people do to ubuntu-based machines to make their kerases and tensorflows run, combined with redhat’s historical trend of extremely bullshit repo pains, I have to wonder what nightmare experience this will result in
Oh great I mentioned in another context that Linux would be the only LLM-free zone and someone with RH connections just laughed pityingly at me.
