Please don’t watch chappelle as people are suggesting. Dude is a transphobic bigot. He can’t go 5 minutes without “waaah the trans waaah the woke are cancelling me actually I am the winner here that’s why I talk about these same topics every show”

As if peoples accents and vocabularies don’t grow and change over time?

A lot of ways to die are excruciatingly painful, but you die, so you don’t live with the pain. If you end up in one of those situations and don’t die (because you are immortal), I imagine the psychological impact of the pain without immediate release could be enough to completely break you, mentally.

Literally wrote my comment and then scrolled down and two of the points I wrote are exactly what you wrote, thats crazy lol

• you’re not being silly, you are a woman and these kinds of thoughts aren’t just for “real trans people” (and also you are a real trans person)
• you need to start giving more thought to how your words and actions affect people, or you’re going to hurt someone you love
• I know those two nuggets of info are hard to hear and are quite heavy, but I promise that observing them and taking them seriously will mean you live an immeasurably happier life
• buy a bunch of bitcoin with your pocket money. Sell it on December 16th 2016, buy as much as you can with what you got on January 26th 2019. Sell it all on March 13th 2021. Donate half of what you made to stonewall, and use the rest for the house you’ll be trying to buy.

That I am a girl

Seems up to me!

I don’t really dispute that but at least we are able to apply formal analytical methods with repeatable outcomes. LLMs might (and do) achieve a similar result but they do so without any formal approach that can be reviewed, which has its drawbacks.

Your argument was that everything should be gender neutralised. That has nothing to do with OP’s very innocent usage of a quote.

When did I drop a death sentence? Deary me, I advocate for using someone’s pronouns instead of applying they/them to everybody and you consider that a death sentence?

I never made any “AI bad” arguments (in fact, I said that they may be incredibly well suited to this) I just argued for the correct use of words and you hallucinated.

Bad faith argument.

Listing your pronouns isn’t force feeding anything to anyone. Observing someone’s listed pronouns takes less effort than having this discussion.

Using they/them and gender neutral language is helpful as a general rule, but if someone is absolutely fucking waving a flag of their gender, its wilfully ignorant at best and intentionally malicious at worst to disregard it.

You said “they literally do analyze text” when that is not, literally, what they do.

And no, we don’t “all know” that. Lay persons have no way of knowing whether AI products currently in use have any capacity for genuine understanding and reasoning, other than the fact that the promotional material uses words like “understanding”, “reasoning”, “thought process”, and people talking about it use the same words. The language we choose to use is important!

The person you’re replying to is correct though. They do not understand, they do not analyse. They generate (roughly) the most statistically likely answer to your prompt, which may very well end up being text representing an accurate analysis. They might even be incredibly reliable at doing so. But this person is just pushing back against the idea of these models actually understanding or analysing. Its slightly pedantic, sure, but its important to distinguish in the world of machine intelligence.

Its an honest mistake and I think if you appealed the ban you’d have a good case for it, however as you now know that’s the trans flag you can be more mindful in future :)

Gender is an incredibly validating concept specifically for some trans people, to write it off is unhelpful.

The Last Campfire is delightful, and feels like being read a bedtime story. God, it’s good. I could listen to the narrator read the back of a shampoo bottle.

Planet of Lana is a drop dead gorgeous side scrolling puzzle platformer with a beautiful soundtrack and world building.

Beacon Pines isn’t technically linear, in that you can complete some stuff in an order of your choosing. But the overall experience is quite linear. Its an exquisite experience, I can’t recommend it enough.

If you enjoyed Undertale, play OneShot. No question. Its splendid.

Night in the Woods is a joy as well, it makes me nostalgic for a childhood I never had. Must-play.

Stray - you are a cat doing cat things in a broken future. Splendid experience.

Mirror’s Edge is a game I think everyone should experience at least once. It’s beautiful.

Celeste - it has the best tuned difficulty curve I’ve seen in any game, and it wants you to succeed. It also tells a really beautiful story. God the platforming is good. Its so good. By the end of it, you are doing things you never thought you’d dream of doing. You’ll feel like a speedrunner with all the little movement tricks you’re able to do.

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is a thought provoking masterpiece and a little spooky.

I loved strawberry jam, what a monumental fan work.

I think Celeste can be for everybody, with assist mode you can tune the difficulty to your liking if you’re a less experienced gamer, and the game encourages you the whole way through a well balanced difficulty curve (IMO).

Another “victim” of the Celeste “curse”. Glad you found yourself! :3
