Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

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

It's crazy seeing these people try to process reality.

Like I was at a friend's house who's into llms, and we were trying to figure some technical thing out, and on god I saw this man copy paste 2 short paragraphs into his gpt and ask it a question that the text already answered!!! But I guess he needed it spread out over twice as many words and a bullet point list.

Like wtffff you're not even going to read the official docs when it's directly answering your question?

I feel like I can see his brain shrinking in realtime. He's all but given up on doing his own thinking. He complains about feeling dumb, but like is it any wonder when you're attaching your reasoning to an llm like you're a male angler fish.

Magnificent sneer

You know, I really shouldn't be surprised that the prominent photo of a sexy woman is the post that brings out the creeps and gets more "comment removed by mods" than any other thread I've seen. But somehow I was.

Reading this makes me feel contempt bordering on revulsion. It’s not a good feeling. Hope those two get the help they need to be fully human again.

"I'm a virgin that have never dared talk to a female human being, but I'm too afraid to say it out loud" x2

When a picture is worth a billion words.

Both of these people have never been touched by a woman in their lives.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago

I suspect they've never seen a woman. On what scale would she be considered fat?

[–] [email protected] 62 points 1 day ago

What basing your beauty standards on hentai does to a motherfucker.

Gamers when they see a normal woman’s body.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 day ago

Wait she is the fat Puerto Rican? I assumed that was another character they didn't wanna play specifically because they could play as the one in the image since she's attractive. Damn...

There's a reason people I know who spend their lives playing video games say it feels almost like a slur to be called a gamer…

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago

smh my head, more proof that Gamers are the most oppressed class.

I can’t remember the name of it, but there used to be a subreddit that played on this joke. Of course some racist idiots had to ruin it and get the community banned.

Yep! I miss that one.

I love how ChatGPT gets called 'she' here, really says a lot.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've been trying for far longer than reasonable to come up with a parody of this kind of toxic misogyny and technofetishism in the form of a "but ChatGPT is better than girlfriend" joke and I can't do it. The combination of pettiness and vitriol is beyond my ability to exaggerate.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Comparing women to a chatbot is definitely derogatory to the chatbot from capital-G Gamers, so even the most exaggerated joke is running hard against Poe's law.

They definitely haven't had the enjoyable experience of having their head nearly crushed by the thighs of a beautiful thick woman.

And likely never will

Have these people ever gone to a beach or even outside in the summer?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They're discussing video game characters, I don't think they go outside.

Comma. Hyphen. Apostrophe.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 days ago

why would anyone want to play as an attractive Puerto Rican when peak sexiness has already been achieved

image description: it’s trevor! his character design brief was almost definitely “rick sanchez but on meth” and he’s aged about as well as a character. do you think GTA 6 will have a paid musk cameo too?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago

Just when you thought "Chat, Is This Real" meme couldn't get much worse - now it progressed into the next stadium.
