Speaker Mike Johnson claims that if Republicans don't have full control of the federal government after November, "I think we're facing very serious threats to our republic."

has anyone made a successor to fuckit.js that uses #LLMs?

@kellogh like the llm deletes stuff or we delete stuff from the llm?

@kellogh I know pruning works pretty well with diffusion models. I think there's some talk of early-terminating layers and layer removal for LLMs.

I wonder how much you could remove from an LLM before things got weird.

@kellogh I wonder how it could be done... 🤔

Just randomly zero out a vector component maybe. We should ask ChatGPT lol.

Watching the bear vs man in forest stories & I remember when our 9-year-old son said some boys at recess offered to play with him if 'he hugged & kissed a girl.'

He replied, "No, that's inappropriate," & told us he didn't mind not being able to play with those boys after all. Later his teacher shared she was happy he stood up to peer pressure.

Y'all—it's never too early to teach boys about consent & boundaries. Have the convo. Then again. And again. Boys will be the boys we teach them to be.

@QasimRashid I don't see how it is indicative of my character to be upset to be painted with such a broad brush. I think we would all see how harmful it is to compare, say, black people to wild dangerous animals. I'm disappointed you can't see it here. Men are people and deserve as much respect as anyone else based on our humanity alone.

@aires So what does that say about men, if it isn't that we're awful? That is certainly what is implied.

@aires The messaging needs some serious work, if that is the case.

@wagesj45@mastodon.jordanwages.com avatar

@deirdrebeth @aires I think you need to work on being kind online. I'm perfectly able to comprehend it. I also happen to find it insulting and counterproductive. Both are true.

wagesj45,
@wagesj45@mastodon.jordanwages.com avatar

@Vorsos Does that include "broad criticism" about other groups as well? Races or sexual identities, maybe? There are certainly broad criticisms levied against those groups all the time.

wagesj45,
@wagesj45@mastodon.jordanwages.com avatar

@Vorsos Maybe consider that you're disregarding men's feelings about being compared broadly to dangerous animals. This isn't valid criticism any more than your "mexican rapists" example. It is just as exclusionary and reactionary. You'd rightfully lambast men who made broad generalizations about women based on their personal intuition. You should hold yourself to the same standard.

You don't have to explain anything to me. I understand. I just think it is hypocritical and insulting.

wagesj45,
@wagesj45@mastodon.jordanwages.com avatar

@stepheneb If you call me a dangerous animal, and then conclude that I must be dangerous or abusive for objecting to that, then it is about my feelings.

If someone says "You're a violent menance" and I say "Fuck off" who is deserving of respect?

wagesj45,
@wagesj45@mastodon.jordanwages.com avatar

@petealexharris I don't think you would say the same to a black person, or a Muslim. You shouldn't be judgemental of men either. It's just as exclusionary and discriminatory.

wagesj45,
@wagesj45@mastodon.jordanwages.com avatar

@petealexharris Their feelings are valid. What I'm saying is that mine are just as valid. Women can and should do what they need to feel safe. That doesn't mean I'm obligated to accept being demeaned by virtue of being a member of a certain group.

My beef is not with individuals that have feelings or experiences with strange men. My beef is with people that argue that those feelings are universally validated and that the demonization is deserved, actually.

wagesj45,
@wagesj45@mastodon.jordanwages.com avatar

@quietewe I didn't ask anything. On the contrary, it is very freely being told to me that not only am I probably dangerous, but the fact I object to that characterization is proof that I am in fact dangerous.

wagesj45,
@wagesj45@mastodon.jordanwages.com avatar

@quietewe It is very damaging to be accused of horrific things if you didn't do them. Reputation, standing, relationships, employment, etc. And to have the situation constructed that if you dislike being painted with that brush that it is even more proof that you're guilty is a problem.

I know most people who pick the bear are making an abstract point. I don't like it, but I understand it. What gets my goat is when people say that disagreement is proof that you must be abuser yourself.

Science fiction has clearly established a direct pathway to the human brain is through the ear canal. This pathway is also always accessible by any kind of worm or bug-like creature. These are just uncomfortable facts.

@MattMerk The somehow even more disturbing real fact is that it is through the nose.

I truly hate the whole "man vs. bear" thing going around right now for so many reasons. So many.

wagesj45,
@wagesj45@mastodon.jordanwages.com avatar

@kellogh A question posed to women something like "Would you rather be in the woods with a bear or a strange man?"

Lots of women say the bear. Because men are so scary.

On one level, I understand the message. Women fear strange men. What gets my goat is when the whole thing is taken to its extreme.

"No really! All men are scary predators just waiting for a chance to pounce."

I don't like being painted with that brush. It's hurtful. And counterproductive.

wagesj45,
@wagesj45@mastodon.jordanwages.com avatar

@kellogh That's a technical answer if the question is man vs. "person". But it is glaringly obvious this is meant as a dig toward men specifically. Especially if you see any of the more militant responses.

We wouldn't accept something like this targeting women. Or black people. It's obvious likening a black person to a dangerous animal like this is wrong. It should be equally obvious how harmful and hurtful it is for men, too.

Vitriol isn't a means for positive social change.
