Funny how it's never the attractive ones that are into the exhibitionism-style nudity, isn't it.




Well, not so much funny as expected: the goal is ensuring that women can freely exploit their sexual attractiveness to extract benefits from men without having to fear attracting undesired attention from doing so.  The "attractive ones" don't need to resort to exhibition-style nudity to exploit their sexual attractiveness, so they have less incentive to engage it.

Another possibility slightly different than "regular intrasexual competition" is she chose the program she did because she wanted to get away from other women due to cultural differences and is worried attempts to bring in more women will import that culture she wanted to escape.  That was the primary motivation for a number of my female colleagues.

I'm old enough to remember feminist-as-in-liberal, but today feminist-as-gynosupremacist is the rule of the day.


It's all very confusing, like how parties that call themselves "conservative" are far more reform-minded than parties that are not, how self-proclaimed "liberals" have nothing to do with classical liberalism, etc.




Feminist-as-gynosupremacist is just feminist.  It is not possible to be feminist without being gynosupremacist.  Gynosupremacy is fundamental to and inseparable from feminism.  The "feminist-as-in-liberal" you recall had as much to do with classical liberalism as your 'self-proclaimed "liberals"' do.  The only difference between feminists of the past and feminists of today is that feminists today have more power and thus fewer of them feel the need to hide their bigotry behind the trappings of liberalism.


@faceh:




Its schizophrenic to say that nudity (at least, topless nudity) isn't a big deal and shouldn't come with social Disapprobation but then make a law to criminalize posting a person's nudes online.




The reason feminism is fundamentally gynosupremacy is that it asserts the supremacy of the female perspective.  They seek to define women's perceptions of men's actions as the objective truth over men's intentions, and simultaneously women's intentions as the objective truth over men's perceptions of women's actions.  In the case of nudity, the "schizophrenia" you see is a direct result of this: women perceive men as sexualizing them when they are topless and believe the men are in the wrong because they didn't intend for the men to perceive them that way.  They believe they should have complete control over how men perceive them.  If men are perceiving them in an undesired manner, that must be addressed.

I don't know how you can do software development without doing math.  Maybe they aren't doing the kind of math that people usually recognize as math, because we never bother to teach things like algorithms or automata as "math", but they are very much doing math.

But she considers things spicy that I can't taste any spiciness in. Any hint of pepper (as in salt and pepper) is too spicy.




One thing to keep in mind is that kids are typically much more sensitive to food than adults are, due to a combination of more taste buds, thinner and more delicate membranes, and lack of desensitization from exposure.  Spiciness in particular is quite literally a measure of how much of a chemical irritant a food is and while tolerance can be trained, children raised in milder food cultures usually don't get enough exposure to develop a tolerance for quite some time.

I wouldn't even go that far, but then again, I think that indifference is arguably worse than hate, and the current regime is CLEARLY indifferent to male struggles.




The current regime is indifferent to male struggles.  It alternates power with a regime that actively hates them.

I think there's an important difference of kind here: "goonerbait cultural material directed at women" is mocked as being immature and shallow, at worst it is seen as an understandable form of escapism for women too unattractive (not necessarily physically) to find a decent guy.  On the other hand, "goonerbait cultural material directed at men" is treated as dangerous material that teaches men to harm women.  It is regularly banned or censored by large corporations and governments.  The UN has multiple outstanding demands to Japan to legally constrain the media in order to fight "violence against women".

However bad Hollywood is, these things aren't accepted in showings of western movies.




This is just not true.  My wife and I stopped going to theaters years ago due to people's behavior.  Simple shouting at the screen is nothing compared to the shenanigans of some screenings we went to--eg, people were throwing toy snakes around the theater when Snakes on a Plane came out.

It's quite simple.  The Venn diagram of my definition of safety and their definition of safety is not a circle.  So long as that is the case, their regulatory framework will not take harms I consider important seriously and will actively prevent me from doing things I consider harmless.  That isn't taking safety seriously, that is taking control seriously.

No, the argument is that neither the AI companies nor the regulatory regime will take AI safety seriously.  Instead, they will take AI control seriously and that is a safety threat to those who aren't aligned with said AI companies and the regulatory regime they are pushing for.

Empirically the two camps of "AI safety" most likely to achieve anything in the foreseeable future are the frontier-lab aligned teams that want regulatory capture on models in order to secure their own positions, and the NIMBY anti data-centre anti-AI never build anything populists; neither of these camps are particularly aligned with the original mission of AI safety




The first of these camps is literally the original mission of AI safety.  AI "alignment" has always been nothing but regulatory capture to secure the power of AI for those who see themselves as benevolent dictators.

Imagine the city folk who control all the laws trying to make it difficult for move your RV or boat between your house and your cabin. I expect there will be a lot of that.




From the rural perspective, it's all the "city folk" (well, suburbanites anyway) who actually have RVs and boats they transport between the house and the cabin.  If anything, it'll be city folk mandating regulations forcing rural communities to spend even more money accommodating them while pricing the locals out even further.

"The map is not the territory."  OP's point is that they aren't going to dispute your label of "Nazi".  You are attempting to change their behavior by extending the label of "Nazi" to cover them and in doing so tar their behavior by association with "Nazis".  They are saying they would rather accept the label than change their behavior to suit you.  You are now doubling down on the shaming attempt by trying to reinterpret this as a move towards the more agreed upon definition of the label rather than the refusal to bow to your shady tactics it is.

Most people think rape, murder, torture, and genocide are genuinely wrong.




Of course, most people also disagree on the exact definitions of these terms, so there isn't true consensus on their "wrongness".

No idea who this is (other than a Google search telling me she's some kind of reincarnated moe light novel character) but that's some real "She's actually a thousand-year-old dragon" energy.




Do you know what the word "prepubescent" means?  It is not a synonym for "child".  It specifically refers to someone who has not yet started puberty.  Misuzu Kamio is canonically 16-17, ~5'2", with a prominent hour-glass figure indicating fully-developed secondary sexual characteristics.  Is she a child?  Yes, she is a teenager, which is considered a child by most modern people.  She is clearly not prepubescent.

The TERF fight is between two camps of cis women: those who feel their intra-gender status is threatened by trans women and those who feel their intra-gender status is reinforced by them.  As with all feminine competition, the visible topic is just a facade for the real conflict.

Stripping all government workers of the right to vote in relevant elections would likely improve any Western democracy significantly.




That would be pointless, as they'd simply become government contractors with the same incentives.  Besides, it's less the individual workers and more their unions (and similarly, NGOs) that enable small organized groups to wrest control of their collective power.

The restriction on foreign nationals is pretty routine for contractors working national-security related contracts, so it seems a lot more likely it was just included as part of the "standard restrictions" rather than something Trump specifically put in to fool people.

I still have no fucking clue what skills are supposed to be. They just look like extra prompts that hypnotize an LLM into believing it can do shit.




The key with skills is that they are conditional, so you can inject those additional prompts into the context window only when the skill is used rather than having them always around.  This lets you write smaller generalized prompts for agents, which in turn improves the output of those agents by keeping them focused on the task at hand and not distracted by instructions unnecessary for the current task.
