Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 15th February 2026
-
Want to wade into the snowy surf of the abyss? 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 so 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.

Anthropic doesn’t actually give a shit about any of the human harms created by the technology
but yeah it sounds like they got overwhelmed by all the shit happening in the world (there is a lot of shit happening in the world, especially in America) and left for their own mental health’s sake
Especially for a guy named Sharma living in the US. It doesn’t take too many footsteps outside the Bay area for him to be in literal physical danger right now.
He also less cryptically posted his plans and resignation letter.(Edit: memory lapse) xcancel version of resignation letter post. Tl;dr moving to the UK (understandably) and doing a poetry degree (I didn’t accidentally critique someone into quitting, did I?)Honestly, I hope he finds both what he’s looking for and also what he’s not looking for but still equally needs. For example, a personal perspective not entrenched in institutional ontological frameworks.

A prompt enjoyer does eschatology. Along the way he abuses mathematics, Ohio, and a chinchilla.

You could’ve probably given me a good 80~100 rounds and I still would not have guessed that set of items
And I’ve been watching these dipshits for a while
(the first two I could’ve guessed/converged to within 10~20 I suspect, but a chinchilla? Fucked from left field, I tell ya)

Yeah, I can’t hold it against anyone for feeling scared and overwhelmed with what’s happening in America right now and fleeing. Hope he finds happiness soon

on first reading I thought you were talking about a specific luna (who I shall not tag here) but who is definitely somewhat of a kinkposter
still might mean that, haha
Luna is a very common transfem name
-
He hasn’t even done a suborbital flight yet, has he? I don’t seem him being brave enough to even get as far as the moon, even assuming he’s healthy enough.
Shhh, don’t tell him.
-
If you accept the imho insane idea that a Mars colony is worth building, using Luna as a stepping stone makes sense. You can debug a lot of issues with recycling, growing food, low gravity, slow resupply etc. with a faster feedback loop.
self-growing
the virile space men will have plenty of nubile females to pump out babies
You could also technically do all of that debugging before you even get to the moon, though. Also has the added benefit of not dying if something goes awry.

you’re right, Amodei and others have published a lot of criti-hype, shameless hype, and delusional anthropomorphization in the past few years. While i was looking for other examples of their bullshit I found this article which was published just after my comment, with a nice sneer:
edited to say thanks for sharing the article

it’s listed author, David J. Temple, is a collective pseudonym used by several authors including by Marc Gafni, a disgraced New Age spiritual guru who’s been accused of sexually exploiting his followers
why does shit always have to turn out weird

Have to get a new apartment, I did not understand that you have to apply via AI application screening now for so many buildings. I don’t know why it won’t read my statement from the credit union. I hate this so much.
Dear rentier class, maybe don’t force people to upload PDFs your bot can’t even open, swear to god someday you will make someone mad enough they inject some prompts into the files metadata and go from there.

Yeah, I’m aware

wasn’t Musk financing people who were gonna “hack the simulation” at one point?
Iirc he even claimed he thought at times the world was a simulation made just for him. Im starting to think he isn’t in a healthy place mentally.
E: ow god he thinks you can cool things in space, because vacuum.

Is this really Big Yud’s account ? Different nick than previous screenshots.

It’s his alt for people who want more yud spam, hence “all the yud.” From his twitter bio:
This is my serious low-volume account. Follow @allTheYud for the rest.
-
fuck this tweet and fuck yud
-
in follow-up posts he talks about how he’s broadly in favour of job automation, but has doubts our current government would be able to do that without fucking everyone over, he specified that “if it were a 1950’s government and congress I’d be more hopeful”
…so instead of proposing a solution like “protest against this” or “vote people in power who actually are responsible” he jumps to “your daughter should give up her career and become a sex worker for AI company shareholders”
with the Epstein shitstorm still raging, I would not be saying a damn thing about young women being sex workers for rich and powerful dudes
-
Groan, you don’t need to finish high school to learn about false dichotomy.

Interesting first job your mind goes to there Yud. Might spend a little bit less time around people who regularly use the word goon but who never talk about the mob.

Yeah he is one of the few space fan billionaires who actually didnt go up. Shows he at some level knows he is full of ahit.
