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 youā€™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 cutā€™nā€™paste it into its own post ā€” thereā€™s no quota for posting and the bar really isnā€™t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many ā€œesotericā€ right wing freaks, but thereā€™s no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iā€™m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged ā€œculture criticsā€ who write about everything but understand nothing. Iā€™m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyā€™re inescapable at this point, yet I donā€™t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnā€™t be surgeons because they didnā€™t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canā€™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

    itā€™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 (letā€™s say 5~15k words) would mean you need a tok-rate of 1000~3000 tok/s for a ā€œreasonableā€ response latency (ā€œ5-ish secondsā€)

    so youā€™d need something like 5x g4dn.2xl just to shit out 5000 words with dolphin-llama3 in ā€œquickā€ time. which, again, isnā€™t even whatever the fuck people are doing with openaiā€™s garbage.

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

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