This meme is like leaning on a railing to get bearing in a dark room only for it to drop out from under you when the lights turn on.

Soo, showing up in leftist reporter Mussolini’s home to debate his current thoughts about a new type of revolution, bringing a gun just in case. I don’t know if there’s any amount of distraction you could subject Benito to in order to prevent him from thinking up fascism. You’d either have to make him realize it’s stupid or kill him.

Addendum: don’t forget to practice with your handgun beforehand, and bring something to smash a windshield beforehand. This is why there were 8 failed assassination attempts on him.

I appreciate the vibe, but this thing would be hilariously incompetent. It’d be like if all the sperm in a cum sock each individually gained sentience and tried to control the sock like a mech. That is to say - it would not be very effective.

I jumped over to logseq. It takes some getting used to, but overall logseq is working fine overall.

Huh, just got done watching “The Free State of Jones” and that checks all these boxes.

I doubt OP’d hold it against that film, though.

No, hostile is exactly the word. These are not tactless mistakes - no one is living under a rock and unaware of the conflict of gender. They’ve either digested transphobic rhetoric and accepted it or they’ve understood the obtuseness of the binary and course corrected. Frankly, if you haven’t course corrected, you deserve hostility from the trans community imo.

The only reason someone would be asking what sex you are is if they are wanting to play cloak and dagger romance, where you never state your intentions and still somehow expect to get into the other person’s pants. That’s not a healthy way to romance and never was, and is likely a big reason for why such a large proportion of people get sexually assaulted in the US.

The issue of trans people in sports is a bullshit non-issue and has been for a while. It is exclusively a talking point to try and get laymen to agree that trans people should be regulated. It’s conclusion is the policing of all women’s bodies. It’s already been debunked to the moon and back, so if you don’t give a shit enough to even look up how stupid your claim is, You don’t deserve any amount of respect or tact in this conversation.

The question “are you male or female” in any convo outside a medical screening is also rude (and kind of a poor question in that context). The question framing is also explicitly hostile towards not-binary identification, as it’s assuming that the person’s biological sex matters more than their own self-perception.You should instead just ask their pronouns or how they identify.

It’s passive aggressiveness responded in kind with passive aggressiveness. The questioner also keeps pushing, so the gun is a very explicit and aggressive “BTFO and let me live my life, stop trying to force me into one of your boxes”

EDIT: Godspeed, mods o7

That’s pretty common actually. It’s called IWB CC (Inside Waist Band Concealed Carry). There’s also AIWB (Appendix Inside Waistband), sometimes just called Appendix carry. The big issue is that it’s not inside a holster. The holster gaurds the trigger so that an ND is more difficult. Holsters also have retention so you’re less likely to have a gun drop, where the gun falls off your person unexpectedly.

Bruh, the noodles are there the whole time. I dunno what you’re on about /s

So you know when people mimick a butterfly with their hands? Yeah, just that one-handed.

Call a tailor probably

Oh woops, flipped em. Good call. Editing

The virile black man stereotype? Not in the US. it’s apart of the myth that black men are naturally very strong and thuggish. It’s also usually paired with the concept of them being extremely sexual (think of the giant black penis stereotype and the constant fear mongering surrounding black men ‘stealing’ all the white women). These are extremely old stereotypes that harken back to when black slaves were viewed in a fashion closer to beasts of burden than to human beings.

EDIT: woops, saw my typo, should be fixed now.

It’s because they are in a performing role. They are token individuals destroying their bodies to create entertainment for the audience. It’s no different than how the south treats rodeo as some kind of beacon of equality for black individuals. It’s purely a facade to point at when denying the existence of inequality and dismissing civil rights arguments.

It’s also directly tied to the myth of the primal black man - all brawn and no brain. A racist sex symbol.

EDIT: typos

EDIT 2: flipped brain and brawn, didn’t notice. Fixed.

Leather daddies (Tom of Finland style) are cool. So there’s some things about man-on-man sex that can be cool.

• Israel is deranged and has the strongest military in the middle east atm, and nukes
• The US has its navy on every major trade route
• Europe’s biggest members are all still aligned with Israel.

Basically Any nation attempting to jettison Israel would be devastated in multiple fashions, so none of them wants to start a large-scale fight.

It’s a thing

I think we should avoid simplifying it to VLMs, LMs, Medical AI and AI for disabled people.

For instance, most automatic text capture ais (optical Character Recognition, or OCR) are powered by the same machine learning algorithms. Many of the finer-capability robot systems also utilize machine learning (Boston Dynamics utilizes machine learning for instance). There’s also the ability to ID objects within footage, as well as spot faces and referencing it with a large database in order to find the person with said face.

All these are Machine Learning AI systems.

I think it would also be prudent to cease using the term ‘AI’ when what we actually are discussing is machine learning, which is a much finer subset. Simply saying ‘AI’ diminishes the term’s actual broader meaning and removes the deeper nuance the conversation deserves.

Here are some terms to use instead

• Machine Learning = AI systems which increase their capability through automated iterative refinement.
• Evolutionary Learning = a type of machine learning where many instances of randomly changed AI models (called a ‘generation’) are run simultaneously, and the most effective is/are used as a baseline for the next ‘generation’
• Neural Network = a type of machine learning system which utilizes very simple nodes called ‘neurons’ for processing. These are often used for image processing, LMs, and OCR.
• Convolution Neural Network (CNN) = a Neural network which has an architecture of neuron ‘fliters’ layered over each other for powerful data processing capabilities.

This is not exhaustive but hopefully will help in talking about this topic in a more definite and nuanced fashion. Here is also a document related the different types of neural networks
