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.

(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this.)

    when digging around I happened to find this thread which has some benchmarks for a diff model

    it’s apples to square fenceposts, of course, since one llm is not another. but it gives something to presume from. if g4dn.2xl gave them 214 tok/s, and if we make the extremely generous presumption that tok==word (which, well, no; cf. strawberry), then any Use Deserving Of o3 (let’s say 5~15k words) would mean you need a tok-rate of 1000~3000 tok/s for a “reasonable” response latency (“5-ish seconds”)

    so you’d need something like 5x g4dn.2xl just to shit out 5000 words with dolphin-llama3 in “quick” time. which, again, isn’t even whatever the fuck people are doing with openai’s garbage.

    utter, complete, comprehensive clownery. era-redefining clownery.

    but some dumb motherfucker in a bar will keep telling me it’s the future. and I get to not boop 'em on the nose. le sigh.
