A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Surprisingly, ChatGPT is the mortal enemy of a lot of machine learning researchers. It gives people a bad impression about what the field is, poisons future training data, and gives AI researchers who make truly remarkable and useful things a bad reputation because everyone "hates AI" when they really hate the stupid VC backed circlejerk that becomes inevitable in a society like this.
Most, if not all, professions in the domain of knowledge creation hate AI.
Engineers hate managers.
Remember next time you get a shitty product, don't blame the engineer who designed it. Blame the manager who forced him to do it that way.
Technicians hate engineers. An engineer will drag themselves across a field of naked virgins, ignoring them all, in order to fuck one mechanic.
I blame designers for everything. Keeps the fads and fashion for the well-to-do. The average person needs function first. Why would anything I want to buy for regular use be available seasonally or only come in over the top fancy plastic shapes with weird colors and breaks with less than 100 hours of use. I have a kitchen and office because I use them, not because it accents my overpriced home. I have worked in merchandising from many angles and it sickens me. Even what should be simple packaging on almost all retail products is overdesigned and printed full of lies. And the worst part is the cost of the product is directly related to design. Look at how cheap some knock-offs can be produced. I would never presume the engineer to be the source of the overpriced malfunctions of consumerism.
Programmers hate ai
Psychologists hate facebook....and also ai
Marriage Counselors hate reddit....and also ai
As a psych nurse I hate food and housing instability and the death of thirdspaces. Oh and also the prison industrial complex.
helpdesk and users
IT people hate computers
I have nothing against computers, as long as people aren't allowed to touch them
I saw a "update" button pop up on my screen. The IT guy ran over, shouted "WTF I turned that off! Fucking bullshit!" And he stormed off.
I think about that a lot.
Well, they may distrust or dislike them, but I reckon the hate goes towards printers - especially label printers
Whoever is fixing your computer absolutely despises you if you're a smoker. Tar gets everywhere.
Users are the enemy of IT workers.
"Everything is working fine. What do we even pay you people for?"
"Everything is on fire! What do we even pay you people for!"
Printers.
Specifically small consumer printers that users insist on having on their desk
Epidemiology too for RFK.
Oh, I forgot for OB/Gyn: GOOP and "Natural Birth Midwives"
every time i pick a different direction in my career, Donald Trump personally brings about that industry's ruin
Have you considered a job in the military-industrial complex, or maybe at a hedge fund?
Cardiologists probably hate fried food and energy drinks
The amount of people absolutely POUNDING several event drinks a day is astounding.
I have a heart condition and couldn't drink them if I wanted to, without dying, so they don't believe when I say it's bad for them.
Accounting:
Intuit products. They mislead people into thinking they are saving money by not paying an accountant or taking a class or two at the community college.
Depending on the situation, it can result in heavy fines and fees when the books or tax returns need to be corrected.
As an IT person: Intuit products.
Their support sucks and unless it's operating as designed, you basically can't get any answer more specific than "call support" online, and when you do decide to call them, the IT guy can never get answers unless the account holder is on the line because they refuse to talk to anyone who isn't on the account and they refuse to add the IT guy to the account.
Also, QuickBooks desktop is basically dead. There will be no 2025 version as far as I'm aware. They're forcing everyone into QuickBooks online.
Also, their automated file doctor tools are basically useless, rebuilding a file has a good chance of breaking it, requiring intervention from the data services team.
They also seem to have no idea what automation is, and have little to no shits to give over making deployment and management any easier/simpler for the IT staff that needs to support their product.
Fuck. Intuit.
Video game content creators hate reading ( especially controls ).
Edit:
There are plenty of times I'll watch someone play a game and then get confused about how to do something in it because they either don't look at the controls in settings or breeze past it or don't read what a quest entails. They just play on in a braindead like trance and get confused and angry as to why the game that gives you everything you need to know doesn't tell them something vital like a certain control they need.
I tend to think that's kinda intentional. Drives up engagement by people telling them how to play in the chat. Also makes people think that they can do better and buy the game.
As a game dev I hate capital-G Gamers™
Edit: before you feel personally attacked and don’t know what a Capital-G Gamer is. Read this https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Capital-G+Gamer
Human being here. I hate people.
/s
Guitarists hate the G string
Same for strippers
Paramedics hate methamphetamine. And alcohol. And high voltage electrical current.
But we love people who injure themselves creatively.
School bus drivers hate landscapers. And Amazon delivery drivers, but at least those fuckers move quickly.
We also hate children but I probably shouldn't admit that publicly.
People saying users are the bane of IT professionals are just antisocial whiners. The real bane of an IT professional is fucking printers. Fuck printers.
For lawyers? The Dunning-Kruger effect.
That's the enemy of anyone with any specialization
Chefs hate everything and everyone, but especially instagram.
My hell is a land of dishes that were sent back to be reheated.
Neurophysiologist hate action potentials.
To be fair, just because you (generally, if you do cool stuff) want to sort the signals you recorded from a brain, a lot of times this messy annoying and takes up a lot of time. Saw quite some people get pretty mad about sorting spikes
