TIL on your first point, i thought the exact same thing until just now.

Isn’t tom cruise a huge piece of shit?

I tend to think differently than most people but it seems obvious to me. As humans we have technology to itneract with and enrich our lives, but animals are unwilling/unable to create enrichment for themselves. Its led me to think about what they consider fun and the nature of fun, and it would seem to me that they would make the most of their senses. Considering their sense of smell is so strong, ive always equated them sniffing things to us taking a nice stare at an inpressive bit of scenery, or tasting the finer details of an intricately crafted meal. Thats why i try to bring home things that will have an interesting scent, to my animals it would be the same as bringing them a tasty treat.

Not sure if it was based on my sex strictly speaking, but my vice principle back in the day made me take off my shirt and proceeded to feel me up. She snagged me on suspicion of setting off stink bombs, then when we got to her office she asked what i had in my jacket. For unrelated reasons, it was about 2 dozen apples which I had every right to have, and she proceeded to confiscate them. When i lightly protested, literally just saying that other staff memebers gave me the apples, she told me she was not going to start a search for the stink bombs which was clearly motivated by the apples. She went through all my stuff, then made me take off my shirt. She then patted me down, chest and all, despite having no shirt on. In retrospect that was definitely firable, but teenage me didnt really care beyond the fact that she was a bitch.

Edit: And thats not derogotory towards women, i describe everyone that behaves in a childish or petty manner as a bitch. And yes, I understand that that is a form of societal sexism in relating poor qualities towards women, but most of the time its pretty obvious given context that I am not refferring to bitches in any way to do with them possibly being a woman. In fact now that i think of it i mostly call dudes bitches but i think thats because i mostly hang out with dudes.

Edit edit: also, im pretty confident that she is not a systemic issue, you just reminded me of something fucked up that happened to me and im adhd so i had to share.

Yeah, i got that. I got my app working again, not sure what the deal was with that.

Kinda joking, kinda not, but the solution to sexism seems to be autism.

Im not sure if a mod deleted it or what, but my app isnt showing our conversation past here so this is where ill have to respond. I see where you are coming from and i think that my approach would not work for everyone, but I do generally tend to have an extremely black and white view of the world. As far as i can tell i do generally tend to treat everyone the same, but for very odd reasons. My paranoia leads me to fear getting attacked by literally everyone, and i have the habitual urge to treat everyone with respect. The only thing I do thats questionable is racial and sexual humor, but that is clearly in jest, which still doesnt really excuse it. It does help i suppose that I am a racial and sexual minority

If I’m not trying to get in your pants, your sex shouldn’t matter.

And I don’t know why I would treat women differently then men, so I’m not sure why I need to take gender into account either.

It’s different if were discussing things that are gender/sex exclusive, like periods or something.(I can’t offer gender exclusive issues bc i cant think of any that arent just gender roles, which i despise) But for casual conversation why does gender matter?

To be clear, I am not trying to convert you here, I just figure you can give me a better explanation if you understand where im coming from.

I think that in this thread there is a lot of talking over people. It seems like you are coming from the empathy angle and trying to offer the most realistic solution, but a lot of the commentors aren’t talking about the actual solution. A lot of them are simply stating “i should not have to ensure i do not look like a threat” in a vacuum, which is true. They’re not arguing against the idea that “women should not have to worry about men”, they’re simply idealizing. Unfortunately things become more complicated when trying to blend those ideas.

Nah, i didnt even look for a study, thats why i mentioned that. I figured the examples i gave where enough to get the point across, the point being what I stated at the end. As far as the equating masculinity with violence, imma be honest, I don’t really want to think about deeper topics right now. I wasnt trying to take anyones side, just comment an observation that I have made.

And yeah, white knighting is seen as cringe and definitely not the default, but its common enough that theres a well known term for it. The cringe part though for me is injecting yourself into a situation without knowing the facts, not the defending of a woman. Although I’m a pretty hardcore feminist, so I don’t tend to look at too many things under the lens of a man or woman, I generally just pretend as though gender/sex don’t exist when i interact with people to get rid of any bias.

You say that like a joke but that is unironically what I do. Am I an idiot?

I don’t have the study, but it’s so ingrained it’s literally a meme. The idea of a “white knight” is based off the idea that men defend women without actually having idea whats going on. The “how can she slap” meme came from a show where a woman slapped a guy when she wasnt allowed to, and it shocked him so he slapped her back. Instantly every dude in the crowd got up and started beating his ass, even though she literally assaulted him outside of the rules of the show. There’s also the trope of guys doing dumb stuff “because love” or to show off to women.

I’m didn’t read enough to follow his point nor yours outside of that, but there is definitely a point to be made that men do tend to defend women from strangers, just not from friends.

They hated him because he spoke the truth

What anime is this from?

But was he inflammable

What is this from?

Thats because it wasnt originally called AI. It was called an LLM. Techbros trying to sell it and articles wanting to fan the flames started called it AI and eventually it became common dialect. No one in the field seriously calls it AI, they generally save that terms to refer to general AI or at least narrow ai. Of which an llm is neither.

So youve never used it as a starting point to learn about a new topic? You’ve never used it to look up a song when you can only remember a small section of lyrics? What about when you want to code a block of code that is simple but monotonous to code yourself? Or to suggest plans for how to create simple sturctures/inventions?

Anything with a verifyable answer that youd ask on a forum can generally be answered by an llm, because theyre largely trained on forums and theres a decent section the training data included someone asking the question you are currently asking.

Hell, ask chatgpt what use cases it would recommend for itself, im sure itll have something interesting.

Id go down on the plane, its very hot.

Well, if you are a minority, they are.

Or if the houses central heating is on
