Ed is presuming a high school education from his readers, where kids get hammered with the play whether or not they have any idea what it is

I wonder if there’s any analysis to link NFTs and blockchain boosters back to the AI pushers as well?

literally the same VCs

compute power to some extent, or repurposing wired-up crypto mining data centres

Nah, people have loved travel stories for centuries. The markety fakeness to the point of straight up synthesis is the problem.

saw a marketer on bsky point out the attraction: influencers, and particularly travel influencers, are the most unreliable arseholes you'll ever find yourself paying to do something, and I can see that

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.
