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.

This feels like quackery but I can't find a goal...

But if they both hold up to scrutiny, this is perhaps the first time scientific evidence supporting this theory has been produced – as explored in my recent book.

There it is.

I haven't seen qualifications this relevant and high-quality since "architects and engineers for 9/11 truth."

Still a bit sad we are not doing nano anymore.

Wait for AI and Crypto 2.0 to burn out, we'll get there

[-] coriza@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I had a flash of a vision of tomorrow, it is Nano crypto AI

[-] Soyweiser@awful.systems 4 points 1 month ago

Sadly it seems the next one is gonna be Quantum.

[-] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago

You see, nano is real now and boring

[-] Soyweiser@awful.systems 4 points 1 month ago

But things being real doesn't stop the cranks. See quantum.

[-] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago

Quantum superpredicting machines are not real, and that's what they're about. Nano- has lots of uninteresting bs like ultraefficient fluorescent things, but nanomachines are not and that was interesting to them (until they got bored)

Finally computer science is a real field, there are cranks! Suck it physics and mathematics, we are a real boy now!

I love the word cloud on the side. What is 6G doing there

[-] istewart@awful.systems 6 points 1 month ago

6G nanometer-wave, gently caressing your mitochondria thanks to the power of antiferromagnets and BORIS:

Has this person turned up shilling their book on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory yet? If not, I think it's a lock for 2025

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
