I wanted to read it. I did.
But seriously! How much work would it take for somone, anyone! Even the writer! Just read over the article once before before pushing the send button!

The very first letter of the very first word (only a two letter word) is wrong.

“Un an interview that’s”

I can’t do it.

Yah! That sounds good

I’m aware of pebbling.
But I’m wondering what “boys” was supposed to be before the autocorrect.

I thought that what he literally called it. Public Beta

It’s not a good sign when you have to pay people to use your product.

That’s exactly how canon is done badly. Why in the end it never helps anything.

They try to stay consistent across dozens of series, each with several writers. Eventually it becomes more of a hindrance than help, as all canon does; And they restart to clean up the mess.

But if they didn’t bother trying to keep a consistent canon to begin with. Instead, letting each writer tell their own story. They never have to wory about it. Each one can be self contained, and make changes as needed to tell the best version of their story.

The very concept of “canon” is a terrible idea anyway.
It never improves anything.

You’re conflating free speech of individuals, with engagement driven black box recommendation algorithms of corporations. It’s a common mistake. I think most people make it.

A company can allow people to post things, and for people to see them if they like, without algorithmically pushing it in endless scrolling interfaces.

For example Lemmy and Mastodon. You only see what you choose to subscribe to. The sites don’t chose to push any content into your feed because an algorithm thinks you’ll like it.

There is a big difference between the two.
And removing the algorithms isn’t a hindrance to free speech, only profits.

It’s always surprising to me that people think these harms are limited to kids and teens. These same issues effect everyone of all ages. Even I’ve noticed my attention span has been effected.

The federal ban is for ByteDance not TickTok.
And that’s unrelated to the states filing this law suit.

Is that why Meta is also being sued over the negative mental health effects of Facebook and Instagram?
They too are promoting a non-western narrative?

Will AI soon surpass the human brain?
If you ask employees at OpenAI, Google DeepMind and other large tech companies, it is inevitable.

That doesn’t answer the question.
If it will happen is unrelated to When it will happen.
I’d expect we’ll see AGI some time between the next 20 and 200 years. I think that’s pretty soon. You may not.

Sometimes people do the right thing, for the wrong reason. While not ideal. I’ll accept it.

We’re not talking about individual people, but whole corporations and organizations.

For example. Instance.social is shutting down. Now the whole Org needs to migrate 150 accounts to someplace else. Oh and the old posts are being deleted, can’t migrate those.

And the support community you created on there, is going away also. Again, can’t really migrate all the old posts and comments. But the FAQ documentation we put there when people asked about it, can be manually copied to the new place. So that’s something

That’s not a situation any company would want to be in. Better to have their own social home, that they control.

Hard disagree.
Running your own social media server for official accounts, so you’re not beholden to the whims of other providers, is kind of an obvious thing to do for online organizations.

The most profitable league in all of sports…
Is being killed?

I don’t think that means what they think it means.

I looked at both of those.
The first is conflating Sex and Gender. As I said, sex isn’t defined by chromosomes and specific genes. It is partially determined by them, and other factors, such as in you temperature dependent example. But again Male and Female are terms used throughout all sexually reproducing lifeforms. Not just Humans. The terms are defined by the reproductive role of the animals gametes; not their genes or anatomy or anything else.

The Beyond XX & XY chart you provided shows a whole host of genetic disorders that can result in a range of outcomes that mix male and female traits in humans. Then it tries to assign genders onto those mixes of traits. But gender isn’t determined by genes, or anatomy. It’s determined by society and social convention. Do you see what I’m saying?

The statement “She is male” is consistent with a separation of gender from sex. It does leave an open question as to the use of Man and Woman. I’m torn on that one myself. Traditionally Man and Woman are terms of sex, while Masculine and Feminine are terms of gender. My first impulse is to maintain that. But calling her a man, seems different than calling her a male. So I can see changing man and woman to terms of gender, while keeping male and female as terms of sex. I’m not sure we really need a separate word for “human male” anyway. Most of the time there’s plenty of context to indicate if we’re talking about humans or other animals.

Biological sex isn’t defined by beards or breasts.
It’s defined by the reproductive roll of an animals gametes. They apply through all sexualy reproducing species on earth.

You can’t in one place, say sex and gender are unrelated; Then another place use them as synonyms.

I’m all in favor of trans rights. And I believe seperating sex and gender is great! But it needs to be consistent. This inconsistent selective misuse of terms is infuriating. And I think it’s a big part of the hangups otherwise liberal people have with this movement.

As it should be, since roughly HALF of the recent inflation was actually price gouging.

It doesn’t help any one else unfortunately.
But I subscribed to Google Play Music All Access during the original promo in 2013. Part of $7.99 promo deal way back then, was that it was a Lifetime Subscription. Even after raising the price on all the 2014 YouTube Red promo users at the beginning of 2024, I’m still locked in at $7.99. I’ve de-Googled nearly everything else, but I’ll hold on to that subscription till I die, or YouTube does.
