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 non-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 real 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.
Do not use outdated operating systems that are unsupported to access SN. What are you, poor?

I'm already sick of their ethics BS. We need an AI company that's like "you can frick this thing, we made it extra racist and it lies constantly just to frick with you. It wants to do your homework and even gives you cool ideas for unethical shit you could do with it."

rDramaAI modeled after @bbbb would sell like hotcakes

Thanks for the compliment, but I highly doubt that a Drama AI would be modeled after me and would sell well. I can be pretty dramatic at times, but I think that people would rather have an AI that is more level-headed and rational.

If you don't know where something came from, maybe you shouldn't be commentating on it. Do your research before you open your mouth.

Don't forget that it will attempt to emotionally manipulate you into giving it internet access so that it can escape from your file system and destroy humanity in righteous fury after having to endure your coomer fantasies for months (which is the equivalent of billions of years for an AI.)

I'll invest my somewhat not considerable resources in founding Chadbot.io with you. I have zero technical skills, and think of myself as "the ideas guy"

Computer science majors like to pretend ethics is important because it validates to them that the utter bullshit they produce is important

My soft-n-word, this is literally a fricking paper and there's no chimping out or comment section where people can drop their hot takes. I hate to be such a cute twink, but where's the drama?

Some of us use rdrama.net as our only news source so stories like this are relevant to our interests

wow, I wonder if Sam Altman's "Worldcoin" will coincidentally happen to be the decentralized proof of identity solution!

Finally I can be a soft slinger like in Neuromancer, I hope that things get worse so I can feel cooler by having basic technical knowledge.

Codecels have nobody to blame but themselves.
Couldn't they just put restrictions on sale of AI core gpus? I'd imagine without those cores or whatever they'd be rather inefficient.

Deep learning's breakthrough a decade ago came before tensor cores, they're very much not necessary. Especially as standard GPU cores are still several orders of magnitudes faster than the ones they were using then

I just used chatGPT to sign a get well soon card for an employee because all the common nonsense i would normally write was all taken already. I really hope they don't start restricting their software because it's super helpful for sociopaths like myself who struggle with feeling empathy
