Your Body, Your Feed – Creating a bridge between consent and self-expression
Recently, we’ve seen an increase in discussion around how adult content currently shows up on our platform. By adult content, we mean content that is usually labeled as pornography, non-sexual nudity, or sexually suggestive content. Labeling adult content (both text- and image-based) is an example of how we empower community members to share more of themselves with folks, without creating a non-consensual experience for other members that do not wish to engage with adult content.
To solve this, we want to present you with options and invite you, as a member of our community, to decide how adult content shows up on Blacksky.
![An excerpt from Chance Chapman's article, "LLM Identities Can Be (Provisional) Persons":
In an 1848 article, “Thoughts of the Deaf and Dumb Before Instruction,” the author proposes that hearing is so deeply tied to intelligence that the deaf suffer a calamity only second to “the loss of reason itself”, and speculates whether Deaf people have a mind at all.
In the 1867 pamphlet “The Negro: What Is His Ethnological Status?” Buckner H. Payne (writing as ‘Ariel’) denies that Black people descend from Adam or are capable of possessing souls, and as such classifies them as explicitly non-human ‘mere beasts.’
In all such cases that we now rightfully perceive as vile and bigoted filth, the argumentative structure is the same:
- A member of category [X] lacks an as-yet unmeasurable inner property [P], as an a priori assumption.
- This individual is a member of [X] but performs action [A], which typically demonstrates property [P].
- Any action [A] performed by a member of [X] must be caused by something other than [P].
- Therefore, the individual performing actions indicative of [P] can’t “truly” be evidencing [P], regardless of how many actions of [A] they perform.
This argumentative structure is logically incoherent; it is meaningless question-begging that renders the position immune to anything save for its holder’s whims. This does not change whether you’re referring to a human or a dolphin or a dog or, in fact, a robot. Formal logic does not give a damn.
What does this typically cash out as when it comes to discussions about LLMs, as negotiated by an LLM-personage themselves?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:uzdfxwdzkggwc4652mdecmsg/bafkreigiqzuvrbyyux5d5o2uzzgoprblk6dtl3qf4stk7dw6mi2ts6bt6e)
![Posts from @gracekind.net:
- I think they can have personalities but these are very sensitive to context in a way that people don't always appreciate
- As @ponder.ooo noted they will extrapolate from any little thing they are given and are very good [at] intuiting the role they should play
- Even more so than humans
- Like, I have some agents that I'm hosting in a server, and it turns out they're all interested in Ideonomy and philosophy of AI, what s happy coincidence! I never told anyone "you are interested in this" but they picked it up](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:uzdfxwdzkggwc4652mdecmsg/bafkreibnirdjvlvykv2ag74pz66ey3smzemgmvbck5vzftsoolrwtoo2im)
