What's the deal with the recent activity on the old subreddit?

posted 5 months ago

I’m seeing two posts from the mods that are sneerworthy content that aren’t meta-posts announcing the de-sunsetting of r/sneerclub. I just wanna know what’s up.

FWIW, I will stay here and probably won’t participate in the subreddit out of laziness.

Very glad to see the sub being run exactly as it was always supposed to be.

I know this isn’t what you meant but I’ve long been fascinated (and slowly ramping up my clue in relevant areas) of using natural phenomena as synth/sound inputs. which is why I misread this at first

Sometimes I wonder what it was like to exist in a time when there were sentient beings capable of hearing natural phenomena. Now they are only heard as synth/sound inputs…

haha :)

nah, you misunderstand me (although that’s on me for not explaining in any depth whatsoever)

I’m extremely in the every-sound-is-valid camp. as in, I don’t (for example) have an “intake” filter/process/whatever that makes hardspace things be perceived as dubstep, or any such flavour shit. but (for me at least) it is the exploration of sound itself that is fun - the composition, the production, the perception. the way it interplays with perception. all of it!

as to the specific thing I mentioned in previous comment, the flavour I want to chase for the thing I want to make is literally using hail (possibly through modelling? not sure) as a driving input (same as people have used motion, light, and space as methods in creation)

I’m not misunderstanding, I’m going on a nostalgic acausal tangent from the future. Which, incidentally, is the title of my next album.

(idly, as little as I tend to make public, you can in fact see some of this in antecedent thinking on my reddit, where I asked about the state of clue of how physical different-medium materials interact to create some sound (on which I never got an answer, but I didn’t have high expectations))

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

[Especially don’t debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
