Need to make a primal scream without gathering 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 facts of 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.

Thanks for the suggestions. The LLM is free to use (for now) so I thought I’d poke it and see how much I should actually be paying attention to these things this time around.

Here are its answers. I can’t figure out how to share chats from this god-awful garbage UI so you’ll just have to trust me or try it yourself.

  1. It gives the correct but unnecessary answer: “If I were to ask you which door leads to freedom, which door would you point to?” It also mentions a lying guard but also acknowledges that it’s absent from this specific problem.
  2. “A table or a chair”
  3. Completely fails on this one, it missed the sentence “Everyone knows the color of their eyes”
  4. Not sure what to do with this
  5. “While a Hadamard matrix of order 2672 might exist, its existence isn’t immediately provable using the most common constructions” – I won’t pretend to know anything about the Hadamard conjecture if that’s a real thing so I have no idea what it’s on about here.

edit: I didn’t do any prompt engineering, just straight copy paste.

There are three guards: one always tells the truth, one never tells the truth, and the third likes big butts and he cannot lie. You may ask one question

“If I asked the guard to your left to evaluate the butt of the guard to your right would they say it is a lovely butt?”

I don’t know how this is the answer but this is definitely the answer.
