It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Literally just mainlining marketing material straight into whatever’s left of their rotting brains.

I gotta admit. Before llm were common I used to call bazinga brain types "glorified markov chains" because that's what most of them are. But now with chatgpt I can't call them "glorified chat-gpt" because it truly is better at coming up with bullshit than they do, and it really can almost write better CRUD code than most of these bazinga brains. That's why I think they're so obsessed with this stuff.

Most of the computer touchers I've seen that stan for LLMs and buy into the marketing hype and science fantasy media blitz are ponderously uncreative people. Maybe it really is that exciting for a chatbot to print something out that looks more interesting than what they would have otherwise came up with. There was a LLM corporate CEO that recently said that she felt "more warmth and connection" with her company's product than anyone she dated.

Shit's sad. If they didn't hate humanity and have outright contempt for us unwashed masses, I'd feel more pity for them.
