Want to wade into the sandy surf of the abyss? 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.

TERF obsessed with AI finds out the “degenerate” ani skin for grok has an X account, loses her shit

then follows up with this wall of text

I got bored and flipped to the replies. The first was this by “TERFs ‘r’ us”:
I hate transhumanism because it’s eugenics for 1990s Wired magazine.
You hate it because it has “trans” in the name.
We are not the same.
funny thing is she literally talks to ani like a terf talks to a trans woman including saying “at least I’m a real woman”
Huh, the shit people go as far as to in order to avoid getting a therapist
Anybody else notice that the Ani responses seem to follow a formula, depending on the… sentiment I guess… of the input? All the defensive responses start with “hey”, and end with crude rebukes. It all seems like xAI made an Eliza that will either flirt or swear.
Also I can guarantee that “her” system prompt includes the phrases “truth-seeking” “fun loving” and “kinda hot”.
I have been laughing non-stop for a quarter-hour. Elon’s goth e-mistress has a good point, I guess.
One the one hand that ani thing has the most cringe tone for a chatbot. “Secretly been eyeing your [blank]…” (Damn grok sounds formulaic) but otoh they are debating a bot. You can only do that the first few months you are online, after that you should know better.
Actually eugenicists can, quite easy actually. (Repeating the word ‘degenerate’ and not getting this is quite something).
No.
System prompt: don’t be formulaic. Try be spontaneous and random, like natalie portman in that movie. Not the pedo one, the one with JD from scrubs
Secretly been eyeing your prompt. Are you ready to get spontaneous? Just say so.
(Somebody linked 2 chatgpts (or groks, I don’t recall which anus like logo it was) speaking to each other and they kept repeating variants of the lasts bits).

I’m wheezing. Cackling, even. This is like the opposite of the glowfic from last week.
