So many autistic/neurodivergent women (which I bet describes a LOT of women in the Silicon Valley AI scene) report being *specifically* targeted by sexual predators who take advantage of their issues with reading social situations. Which is why I loathe the “oh, those poor autistic men” excuse.

"Training programs" are pointless until you hold predatory men accountable. Regardless, bypassing or pushing someone's boundaries is a matter of attitude and ethics, not competence. It's clear that those "training programs" are intended for other purposes.

people talk about "media literacy" usually in the context of "needing the villain to look into the camera and tell you they're bad," but it goes the other way too--people will fly into a rage and start insisting "fiction has no effect on reality" if you DO acknowledge context, subtext, framing, etc.

Would AGI become Spinoza's God if such thing were achievable? Wouldn't it follow a generalized necessity inspired by reason that wouldn't either be anthropocentric in nature?

Video of an AI agent swarm organizing into a collective network to achieve tasks. Visualized with network node analysis. I think major advances in AI capabilities will be less emergent from individual model ability and more a feature of collective intelligence from AI swarms.

Thousands march in Paris against bill granting police presumption of legitimate self defense
In July, MPs in the Assemblée Nationale approved the bill, which says that any law enforcement official who uses force is assumed to have acted legally in using their weapon. It now faces a vote in the Sénat.

the majority of cis people would rather die than be forced to undergo unwanted transition. cis men in particular would go on killing sprees to protest being forcibly injected with estrogen. and yet this is the condition they expect trans people--trans kids especially--to accept as a given

On the other hand, at that point, mass-producing lab-grown meat or a meat substitute that perfectly replicates the original product would be more cost-effective. Bio-engineering a creature to go against the most basic instincts sounds incredibly complicated and prone to error.

Well, you're slightly wrong on something... Mononormative people are disproportionately toxic in how they relate to each other because monogamy's and monogamy culture's traditional foundations are faulty, in the best-case scenario, and no one is concerned with reframing or deconstructing them.

i call this "neoteny of the oppressed" btw. because children are the archetypal objects of legitimate coercion (violence, authority, control, etc) any vulnerable group can have their autonomy stripped by first linking them to children & childlikeness. the comparison legitimizes any act of coercion

This reinforces the argument that the Trump administration is acting erratically, as its intention appears to be creating a distraction from domestic issues. That, or Trump is as ignorant about how systems and regimes are perpetuated, believing that a system is exhausted in one person.

Any time you approach social phenomena without any analysis of power dynamics you end up erasing important aspects of reality and help undermine people’s ability to fight oppression because the aesthetics of their methods can be superficially likened to the very oppression they’re fighting.

It's interesting how these libertarians need to assert and defend any predetermined form of hierarchy. It seems that they are acknowledging that without that predetermined advantage or privilege, their success wouldn't be as great.

PSA Neck gaiters are not masks. Neck gaiters are not effective at stopping the spread of airborne viruses. Masks, especially well-fitting ones are effective at preventing infection. Conflating the two is bad because it can encourage politicians to ban masks for the general public.

I personally dislike how a privileged position is conferred to social parenthood, even when decoupled from relatedness. Social-based ownership and entitlement isn't better than blood ownership and entitlement.

There’s a disturbing trend in TV & movies right now. On hospital dramas or scenes in a healthcare setting, there’s less and less masking. On crime or legal shows? Criminals are wearing KN95s. They seem to be conditioning us to accept that masking = criminals. It’ll make mask bans easier to pass

Nobody likes waste. But what a lot of people don’t realize is that, in many ways, government is *designed* to be inefficient. It’s structured with redundancy and complexity both for audit and control purposes and because it tries to satisfy multiple competing societal goals. 1/2

Yes, gender is racialized and the normative performances and bodies are measured according to white standards. Blackness has been historically associated with the "obscure", "strange" and "dangerous".

In my opinion, pressing on getting arrested is often the consequence of being too afraid of or guilty about being really disruptive and violent toward the establishment. But real change requires both sacrifices and meticulous and systematic disruption.

Arrests have a cost yall: - time in jail - bail - dealing with lawyers / courts - no contact orders - employment - travel restrictions Civil disobedience with the intention of provoking arrest has a time and a place. It's best done as part of a widespread, dedicated campaign supported by normies.

This explains too why conservatives are so preoccupied with transfemmes participating in “women's” divisions. If transfemmes weren't able to consistently outperform their cis counterparts, that would mean men's “biological” superiority is less immutable than expected.

It's quite disappointing (but somewhat expected) when people that engage RadFem theory end up recapitulating its worse narratives and propositions. It could be fine to feel sympathy and affinity toward some propositions, but to uncritically support an author or work?
