I'm not trying to "not be judgemental" I'm trying to understand how I'm so out of sync with so many people.

@davep

It's not the gender... It's the personification.

"Chat GPT is so helpful. It really cares about me." <<just as creepy

These are vast systems purely tuned to try to get us all to talk to them like individuals to impose the human mind on them. When we do that it gives over a kind of power I think … to that system or rather to the people who run these systems. It’s like when a company says “you aren’t an employee you are a team member” or worse… ”family”

How would you make the case for not calling an LLM "he" or "him" like it is a particular person without sounding like the Bene Gesserit?

For some reason it really bothers me on a deep level. What the heck is that about?

Oddly? I do not feel upset about the robotics team doing this for the robot they built. I think my issue is with the notion of an individual being ... mentally constructed who simply does not exist.

Maybe she will learn something from this experience. LOL.

Trump has endorsed Mike Lindell (the 'my pillow guy') to run for governor, but he would not endorse Marjorie Taylor Greene when she wanted to run for senate. She had not turned on him when she asked for that support.

And really? I'm kind of offended on her behalf. She's been so much more effective than Lindell at being terrible, she is so much more accomplished at being a republican.

But she's a woman. So no dice.

"Everything Everywhere All at Once" has a little of this IMO. Though it's a lot better than your typical small town please come home romance.

I do think there is a place for "wholesome media" that's more expansive than your typical Christmas romance.

It's normal to dream of romance, and of the community you grew up with being OK after all. (So, many of these stories have a "they are going to close the family business" subplot.)

I think there could be a big market for wholesome stories about small minded parents learning to be more accepting. Grandma came to my lesbian wedding after all by Hallmark.

The subway is faster... if more liminal ... but that's why you go with your friends.

Hugo. This is a movie. We do not talk about things of the most dire consequences and greatest importance in movies such as "do you really want to get married?" or "is that kid yours?" no no no.

I keep trying to turn this over but realize I'm just describing the plot of "The Wiz."

Eg. Woman goes to the Big City and learns the value of finding people who really care about you and who will stand up for you when the Hell's Kitchen garment sweat shop owner tries to steal your shoes. Then you all gang up on the Mayor who is a huge phony.

Tale as old as time.

2/2

The Reverse Christmas Romance?

The Christmas romance is a genre staple to the point of inevitable self-parody.
* Big city woman goes home for Christmas.
* She's not interested in love! Nope!
* She never expected to Find Love in her sad little small town.
* But there is a hunky man in a sweater. Who is that?
* Nonsense plot that could be solved with a single adult conversation.
* We learn the value of Family(tm) Small Town(tm) get Married(tm)

I was liking the "neutral" so much because it would also be mirrored as well I think.

@axolotl

Are we not challenged to be more like Christ? What does that mean?

It is not that complex, I think.

@kitten_tech

Alaric I have not one but TWO ant-themed stamps right here. Hence, the context: you are a ner-do-well in your den/workshop.

@floatybirb

The answer is a whole number. No tricks or twists.

IDK
"Order of the Mirrored Clef" sounds like a pretty good name for a criminal art gang IMO

Do you think we get to see the tongue or nah?

It's perfect!~
