Why in hell are all these people on a Technology community who clearly don’t understand the reason why companies are all-in on the AI thing?

I don’t want to pull a “no true scotsman” here, but holy christ. Are any of the people here actually technology enthusiasts? Because there’s a lot of technophobes and luddites here.

In fact, I’d say MOST replies to this community are people pooh-poohing Tech.

Honestly, that price for registration is tempting.

Fucking “.sucks” is $270+ to register!! O_O Fuck that.

.com it’s cheap, it’s available, I don’t have to worry about a country pulling the thing out from under me, it’s standard in people’s minds (people don’t know what a URI/URL is, but they know what a .com is immediately)

Wild how a card that doesn’t exist already has widespread issues…

This example is great, because it shows where there is sanity, and order. In each of your examples - things lined up naturally, without explanation across language, borders, sex, color, etc. Red, Green, etc all mapped perfectly across all of those instances, without people having to learn something new for each individual person. You say Blue = Azul, that’s a ruleset that spans the WHOLE language instantly. You learn it once, and you know it. Hell, you also just learned it in Portugese…

Gender identity is none of that. Every person with their own gender identity has their own special rules for their version of the subject. Each set of rules is unique to that individual, and they expect everyone around them to know those rules that are internal to them. (Primarily because Gender Identity circles are these huge echo-chambers which refuse to interact with anyone who doesn’t 200% agree with them) – Now imagine each and every person you met had a different word for Blue. Now imagine that you can’t keep all of that straight in your head and you just call the color “Blue” in your own tongue. And the person on the other side of the conversation gets IRRATIONALLY angry at you. THAT is Gender Identity.

That’s not going to fly. You don’t get to dictate the behaviors and actions of those around you. If someone meets you and they immediately need a 10 minute education on how they need to alter their OWN identity in order to keep you from flying off the handle, then you’re not sane.

If gender identity followed a set of rules (it doesn’t) then it would be much easier to grasp and understand for the world. But it’s not - it’s a mental illness. Or…maybe it looks like a mental illness because we don’t have the words to describe what people are trying to convey, but it has no similarities at all to the thing you describe.

Until the subject of Gender identities can unify into a simple to grasp thing that can have logic applied to it, people aren’t going to accept it.

I had a perfect conversation with a community of trans individuals about this. If a man has kids, and then considers himself a woman – what does he want to be called in relation to those kids? A father? A mother?

Turns out, nobody in the community could agree on what they wanted to be referred to in the past-tense. They all had their own unique flavor of what they would have preferred. So nobody, rational or otherwise, would ever be able to discern the proper way to approach the subject in the presence of theoretical individual. (It was a thought experiment that the community I was speaking with participated in thoughtfully and respectfully, and some people actually respected and attempted to understand the other side of things, which was incredibly refreshing. It hasn’t happened since - which is sad - but I quite enjoyed that community)

THAT’S the craziness. That’s the problem with Gender Identity. Unless it has an easily understood set of rules, people will not adopt it. We want to convey information, and move on. We don’t want to first learn how you would PREFER we convey the information - we need a set of rules that we can quickly and broadly apply, so that we aren’t throwing a wrench into the gears of our brains.

That goes doubly true with as many autistic and adhd people also cross over here. Especially for people with autism and other mental issues (myself included) - that juggling of special rules represents a real struggle.

You quite literally cannot get any more direct at showing you’re a criminal and you have no plans on obeying any law ever.

To be fair, “Gender Ideology” is fucking craziness. Additionally, there has been this weird constantly pervasive push to just simply be anti-american, anti-colonial, anti-stability and anti-sanity.

We’re a colonial nation, and the constant push to tear that down has worn on for a very long time. I can see how these kinds of people have been created. I don’t agree with many of the things they do, but I am saying I understand how they managed to get that way.

You should read your own link. Nowhere in there does it list “bitching about something in a dark corner of the internet on a private forum”

All of the examples listed – kinda require you getting out of your chair and you know doing something.

But you haven’t, and won’t. And instead of admitting that, you’re going to argue what the definition of “doing something” means. You’re not stupid. You know you haven’t ever done anything, you know that nothing in your life has contributed at all to the subject matter at hand.

But also I know you haven’t done anything either, and that calls into question your virtues, and that ruffles your feathers.

It’s not enough to just have “good thoughts”. I at least realize that the herculean effort required to achieve such change is beyond the average persons capabilities or even desires. That doesn’t make me a bad person, just someone who understands the reality of the situation at hand.

in reality, nothing

Did you miss that part?

then you are doing nothing

Or that part?

You know how 0.9999999999999999999999999~ = 1?

It’s like that. A rounding error at best. So yes, in reality, nothing.

If all you’re doing is bitching about it on the internet, then you are doing nothing and then acting virtuous about doing nothing.

YAY you have warm fuzzy thoughts and feelings! Congratulations you’re a “good person”!

They all are NOT. Mozilla is not part of “the advertising industry”. Mozilla is a nonprofit organization which relies on funding from others, and occasionally puts advertising in their product to keep the lights on, they are not, primarily, an advertising organization.

The solution, is quite literally, use Mozilla Firefox.

Are you attempting anything? Because bitching about it on the internet isn’t far from doing nothing. What have you done in your life to change the US prison system? I’d love to hear it.

if incareration can be made more ethical than is currently the case in the USA

You go ahead and get right on that. Let me know how that goes.

Therefore, off topic.

Norway is an exception to the rule. Not a generalized example. Calling out an edge case, doesn’t change all of the generalized cases.

Congratulations, you’re not on topic then.

That actually happens btw. There are homeless that will commit crimes, so they get arrested, so that they have a couple of free nights of not freezing to death in the cold.

I haven’t incentivized crime, but yes our current institutions do so.

This clearly says US Institutions.

I’m on a path to homelessness and a premature death due to institutionalized neglect and abuse from US institutions.

This person wouldn’t be posting here if they were from Norway.

Pretending that people get rehabilitated in prison, LOLOL

That’s some LARP level imagination you got there.
