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 youāll 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 cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.

Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects.

Sidenote: The rats should count themselves extremely fucking lucky theyāve avoided getting skewered by South Park, because Parker and Stone would likely have a fucking field day with their beliefs
eeeeeh
Theyād just have Garisson join the zizians and call it a day.

The man outside Stratford station yelling through a megaphone about Jesus makes more sense than this

ābiological civilization is about to create artificial superintelligenceā is it though?
Iām gonna give my quick-and-dirty opinion on this, donāt expect a lengthy defence.
Short answer, no. Long answer: no, intelligence cannot be created by blindly imitating it with mere silicon
