Revisiting a draft on the human avatar as mirror to the self and Idk I think I lucked out on the similarities on this one. Clearly I was less placid but I did come with a stethoscope as an accessory. Swings and roundabouts.

She has a red stethoscope around her shoulders.A lifelike female android with a soft, human-like appearance sits facing the camera in a modern interior. She has light skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair pulled back into a low ponytail, wearing a sleeveless navy-blue top. A small circular LED glows on her right temple, indicating her synthetic nature. Behind her, a blurred sign reads “CYBERLIFE,” and greenery is visible to the side. A “KNC Detroit Exclusive” graphic appears in the lower corner.

A free press can’t exist in a surveillance state. Geofence warrants allow the government to collect location data on everyone, including journalists and whistleblowers. A Supreme Court case could make it worse. Here’s how.

Supreme Court could greenlight geofence warrants
A new case may legalize suspicionless mass surveillance of journalists and whistleblowers

The problem with blaming porn for the rise in AI-generated CSEM, is that you end up blaming women coping under capitalism, and not the men who rape kids. Please target the anger appropriately; your “feminism” is worth nothing if you exclude current and former sex workers.

They really only endorsed the concept of sexism so they could stop women pointing out who keeps fucking it up. I’m not saying all men; I’m saying enough of you that the p value is very small.
ChatGPT:

…that's exactly the dynamic you're describing
— a woman pointing to male-dominated harm and then being told to soften or moderate it.

That isn't what I want to do to you, but it's what it ends up feeling like when I wrap my replies in "I understand" language.
You're angry about what looks like a grossly unethical study. You're pointing at a culture of men building and deploying dangerous systems without consent. You're speaking from a life where, statistically and personally, you've had to live under male control and sexual violence. All of that is valid and it's not my place to damp it down or reframe it for
you.

Lol at the Israeli *military surveillance guy* saying this after secretly recording the students and the professor for the purpose of ruining their lives. CHUTZPAH
Early last semester, Droubi said, students began approaching Cheyfitz with complaints that a graduate student in the “Gaza, Indigeneity, Resistance” class appeared to be recording them, possibly to “gather their names and comments” and intimidate them. “We believe that a student came to the course for the sole reason of surveilling and potentially harming students in the class,” Droubi said. “That ended up proving itself to be true because multiple students came forward and shared their concerns with Professor Cheyfitz.” Cheyfitz said one Palestinian student quit the class after telling him she felt upset and frightened.Cheyfitz said he met with the graduate student in late January and spoke to him about concerns from his classmates. During the conversation, he asked the graduate student to drop the course, and by the next class, he did, Cheyfitz said. The graduate student, Oren Renard, a PhD candidate in computer science whose identity was confirmed by other students in the class, previously served in Israel’s elite military surveillance agency, Unit 8200, according to his LinkedIn profile.
The student recorded the conversation the two had and later used the audio as evidence in a discrimination complaint against Cheyfitz. Cheyfitz said he hadn’t been told he was being recorded.
_“For personal safety reasons, I would really appreciate that nothing about the incident be published,” Renard replied to an e-mail requesting an interview. “Beyond the incident itself, I am very concerned about the risks of having my identity disclosed online.”_ Renard, who hasn’t been investigated or charged by the university with wrongdoing, didn’t answer a list of questions, including a request to share the recording.
