enterprise dildomancy

figure 1: the loved one whacks a keyboard with a dildo, thus reproducing Tumblr

"coded by dildo" coined in this post and I have a whole tag here going back nearly 10 years

wikipedia articles: hey this is pretty good!
wikipedia talk pages: what is wrong with you people

it's not actually any more painful than any wikipedia talk page, it's surprisingly okay for the genre really

remember: wikipedia rules exist to keep people like this from each others' throats, no other reason

I've just realised:

this reads just like a neoreactionary trying to be literary

e.g. the Dimes Square literary astroturf crowd

same problem as gen AI output: too much style, zero understanding of basic structure, you cannot get that fine detailed in structure and be that bad at the basics.

you realise i'm gonna ask for links to your example of this being misapplied here

it's gonna be a massive disaster across the wider economy, and - and this is key - absolutely everyone saw this coming a year ago if not two

my lethal weapon is my WP:WTF

 

"the AI thread in our society now is nothing more or less than a demand by the wealthy creators of it for submission. It's a naked show of force by the powerful and stupid: you will use this tool, and you will like it."

 

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.
