Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and NOT drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to read them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.

Tom Scott has some neat videos of him doing neat things. But he is an annoying ethics and 'preserve the statusquo' r-slur when it comes to stuff that could change how society functions.

ChatGPT and other language models are designed to look sophisticated without knowing anything of what they're talking about

If you get over the first minutes of soyfacing at the fact that ChatGPT understands what you're trying to ask it, you'll notice how shit the information it actually produces is - like contradicting itself on basic math. We had a few minutes of back and forth where it produced wildly different numbers for the same few questions until I got bored.

That's missing the point. Businesses didn't get trucks because they were modern air conditioned semis, they got em cause they were slightly better than horses
Meeting notes, vapid emails that take a tiktoker in hr a week to write, expo floor plans, most coding, all the leg work is taken out. Think of all the worthless repetition it'll word processor out of the typing pools..
Less bullshit will gut unskilled office workers, lol. Ai will get white collar before blue.

Yeah, as long as it compiles, who cares if new orders get processed under the legal requirements for last year? Not like the auditor AI will notice the difference.

Lol, no, managers have never got underlings to do work before signing it off. Ever. Never happens, impossible![:marseygigaretard: :marseygigaretard:](/e/marseygigaretard.webp)
I can't fricking wait for 10 useless bureaucrats to be replaced with 2 and an ai. Manager stays, but just like typing girls, those office c*nts are fricked

Lol, if they can handle worthless underlings now, they can handle ai
In fact, it'll be much easier for bad managers as they will have less people to manage.

It gets uppity if you ask it to tell you something for particular about, for example, satanism "because some satanists commit acts of violence, and it might offend certain groups", follow on asking if the same is true of Islam and it basically agrees, but warns that it's bad to discriminate at all based on religious beliefs. It's wonderfully inconsistent, but that might be the weakness of the pathetic creatures who control its model.

Yeah I come away from that page thinking he's kind of a kitty. Redditors are stupid as shit, who cares? All that shit about "harassment" was more hack headlines than anything else. Wasn't this the final word?

Apparently, a lot of kiwis love him because he's teh smart. It's weird that a 12-minute video that can be rewritten as a 2-minute article is considered intelligent.
