Don’t know who he is, other than now that he is an actor in a movie called “heat”

Well, despite having read all of the comments, it took me reading yours to finally understand the joke. I thought the joke was just googling if random people were in heat to fuck with ai. Never heard of the movie

Not a gun dude, what is a .357 to the chest gonna do to you?

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

I am not qualified to speak on this in any way, but here my 2 cents:

I really like your relationship dynamic, and how you try to do everything 50/50. But keep in kind, this is not a contract. You don’t have to do anything in particular so long as you’re both happy.

What I’m getting at is that if your partner hasn’t mentioned being dissatisfied, then by attempting to solve a non-issue you could potentially create one.

On the other hand, from your perspective, if you want to feel like you’re doing more, then just do that. It doesnt have to be planned or signficant or anything at all really. It can be as simple as opening the door for them or taking out the trash or handwashing their car. Any time you have free time and want to help out more, just find something to do. If they’ve already done the housework, maybe that was their decision. Maybe they wanted to do that to make things easier on you. It’s good to appreciate that, but it oeaves you with seemingly nothing to do in return. But housework isnt the only thing you can do to show appreciation. Give them a massage, get them a gift, secretely handle one of their responsibilities. Whatever you do, do not handle this as a bargain unless thats the relationship you two have. Ultimatums (this is my responsibility, that is yours, if you dont do yours i wont do mine) are always bad, and its not like youre doing this so they owe you. Presumably they feel the same way.

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.

Fair warning, mint causes my cat to pee on stuff.

Tree falls in forest. Thats art.

Nature created humans. Humans create art.

Take a paintbrush, hook it up to a treadmill. Thats art.

So many easy ways to automate art, its almost like you’re poorly flailing to get a gotcha thats never going to happen. I was trying to be civil and not simply treat you like a dumbass, but seeing as you’re intentionally trying to be one i no longer see the harm.

And now youre going to start spouting esoteric crap like humans not being a part of nature. Tf are we then, some other dimensional being? You think you’ve got a soul and that makes you different from nature, but all that really means is that you’re bad at analysing things from perspectives other than your own.

Edit: lmfao nevermind, reading clearly isnt your strong suit. From the get go you’ve been spouting ireelevant bullshit like a child, then when i ignore your tantrum you double down. You’re clearly not here for a discussion, so hopefully you won’t be too terribly surprised when (surprise surprise) here in 20 years everything i said turns out to be true. To those that actually follow the tech and have for decades, none of what is currently happenning is surprising and weve been trying to warn people for years. But you always end up with people like you, too dumb to listen and too convinced of their own ego despite literally not making a single good point this entire conversation, hell even a single coherent thought. Have a great day 😄

The legs are terrifying however

You asked me if id replace my mom with a robot despite knowing the answer would be no. How tf am i supposed to respond to that. How tf am i even supposed to do that. Ask bad questions, get bad answers.

Also lots of bullet magic

we will never get to the point of replicating human ability and energy efficiency with the materials that exist in Earth

That is flatly incorrect. There is a type of ai that is literally just replicating the human mind, hardware and all. That is well within our current technology, although the connections would not be the same as it would merely be a clone. But a cloned human is an artificial intelligence.

I know that form of ai is not what you are referring to, but why not? What is it about ai that makes it impossible to replicate in a metallic substrate? And even assuming a metallic substrate is flatly impossible, that still doesnt stop progress. There are youtubers currently working of making an artifical rat brain in a jar play doom. This is not a piece of a living rat, these are rat neurons grown from stem cells that were converted from skin cells. So we could just as easily start progress down physical ai’s.

As for evolution, that was millions of years of random chance, the difference between that and guided evolution is too great to even compare. And the materials came from Earth in the first place. The entire idea of ai is based around replicating what nature did in the first place, thats how all our technologies are made. People said it was impossible for people to fly merely a decade before the wright brothers. The only difference now is that there is no material scientist on earth that claims wed have to go to outer space to replicate the hardware neccassary for ai.

Edit: forgot about the first part of your comment. this should largely cover that

Art is whatever people put into it. If its a passion for you, theres nothing stopping you from making it. For me, art is mostly music designed to evoke an emotional response and game assets for hobby programming, not for commercial use. Im not profitting off either of those, but I don’t have the funds to pay someone to make custom assets nor do I have the talent.

There has been art before that was not done by humans. There is a selfie of a monkey, paintings by elephants, semi-self generated art via fungus, etc. In those examples, the story is as much a piece of the art as the image itself. That subset of art cannot be replaced without simply lying.

Nah, that is a false equivalence. Replacing “people” with machines is very different from replacing “bonds” with machines. You are not literally killing the people and replacing them with a robot. It’s a job.

You are conflating replacing the job with literally replacing the person. And personal bonds are not jobs, nor are hobbies. You are not going to have someone or a robot play golf for you. Nor would you replace your mom.

Art and culture are two different things, they are not replacing bonds. But i think the disconnect there comes solely from the current state of ai. Once it improves to the point of being indistinguishable as all technologies do, i think those will be seen as much less problematic outside of the lens of capitalism.
