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.

(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)

      They need debugging tools specifically designed for AI-generated solutions.

      What the hell does that even mean, lmao?

      Focus on AI tool literacy: Developers using AI tools daily show 88% favorability compared to 64% for weekly users. This suggests proper training and integration strategies significantly impact outcomes.

      What kind of drugs are they on

        Second quote is classic “you must be prompting it wrong”. No, it can’t be that people which find a tool less useful will be using it less often.

        Feel like people are just reaching for things ‘clearly we need tools to help us with the process, so lets just call them debuggers for AI’

            AI innovation in this space usually means automatically adding stuff to the model’s context.

            It probably started meaning the (failed) build output got added in every iteration, but it’s entirely possible to feed the LLM debugger data from a runtime crash and hope something usable happens.

            I assume these ‘ai debuggers’ are for looking inside the AI black box when they AI goes ‘yes I’m very sorry I will not do it again’ before doing it again.

      It wasn’t posted yet in lemmy, did search. Yours was the only thing I found. So, I posted it in programming to rile people

        Yeah I did a search for “stack overflow” and found zero results so think search was a bit buggy atm. Votes also not showing atm for example. Not sure if by design.
