    Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 15 September 2024
  • I think Zizek is a super nice guy, despite disagreeing with 90% of what he says. I still think he's a great person with a nice soul.

    The sentences these people post, man.

    Anyway, it's great that he chose a cryptofascist crank who tries to pass himself off as a communist to show how open minded he is. Damn, you respect Habsburg, Orban and Zizek, let me guess how you feel about Putin.

    edit: Well, in this case, not sure if this counts as "trying".

  • I don't know man, there are plenty of jobs that don't involve any of whatever that is, like line cook or caregiver or going on disability.

    here's the amazing Vibecamp essay where the rationalists talk about "microdosing" meth if they can't take the adderall to become a financial genius like Scoot promised them
  • Of course I ignore your warnings and proceed to read this shit from the beginning.

    And before you say, as many people I'm sure will, that language changes or evolves and so forth: shall I presume many of you have no objection to being called 'nazis' in the standard twitter-left definition? Shall I treat all drunk sex as 'rape' because kidnapper-rape and frat-sex have the commonality of reduced consent? Shall I treat your remarks about this-or-that group as 'hate speech', or 'violence', in the form of speech? Clearly, we have some sense by which concept creep exists; by which definitions can be stretched dishonestly. That is what you're doing, and you know what you're doing.

    Cool. Cool. This is fun.

    Scale AI is stiffing its task workers
  • It's microwork, like Amazon Mechanical Turk. You sign up on a website and there are small tasks you can complete (label this picture, is this result inappropriate, which of these is better etc) and you get a cent. Sometime the task will really be a test and your performance will be evaluated. It sounds easy at first but you'll be asked to make a call on many edge cases but it's not worth spending more than a couple seconds on it. I've done it. I stopped because taskers were getting increasingly demanding, it got slower and more annoying and I wasn't interested in having to actually use my brain for 2€/hr.

  • Oh my god I only now notice the title is a reference to Tiqqun's Preliminary Materials For a Theory of the Young-Girl, this is like a supercollision of dumbfuck cryptoreactionary nonsense I've obsessed over.

  • Haela Hunt-Hendrix, the singer from the black metal band Litvrgy, was one of the principal organizers of this “symposium.” [...] Besides making music, she seems to be interested in esoteric religious themes, numerology, and Orthodox iconography. In any case, Hunt-Hendrix claimed that Anna was stealing her ideas and twisting them in a “cryptofascist” manner.

    Oh no! How could she!

    Jason Koebler from 404 Media has discovered the Fountain of Insane Facebook AI Slop and outlines its whole scam economy
  • Within the ad manager, they upload an image that has been modified to look like a Facebook gallery post (there are tools for this), and then they delete the headline and description that is autogenerated by Facebook to make it look like the ad is just an image and not a link. Then, they generate a preview for their ad. This creates a preview link, which can then be pushed to their phone (it has to be a separate device), then shared to their own personal Facebook page as a “test.” From there, the link can be grabbed and shared to a page as a normal post, even though it is not a published ad, meaning that, to do this trick, you do not actually have to spend any money.

    I don't think it's what I was supposed to get out of the article, but... this is so cool....... Honestly I'm in awe.
