So sorry for getting back so late, I didn’t get a notification for your reply for some reason.
Breaks my heart to hear you’re struggling so hard. I’m glad you’re doing your best, its the most anyone can ask of you. I hope that whatever circumstances can shift in your favour, do so.
I understand your perspective but I guess I just fundamentally disagree. I’d be annoyed, in the same vein as you, if every character was poly (unless they were actually poly and they had other lovers and referenced your other lovers and it was genuinely part of their identity) or if a relationship with them wasn’t different from a close friendship, besides having sex (because sex isn’t the only thing separating a close friendship from a relationship).
I guess, the way I approach the kind of game that we’re both talking about is just different. I’m not interested in exploring 100% of all the content possible, but rather having a rich experience in the content that I do explore. I’ll take an authentically written gay man and an authentically written straight girl who both won’t explore a relationship with me, over the opportunity to have more content that’s shallower. But yeah, again, thats just a different approach we both have to games.
How can you make a character not attracted to men and simultaneously make their relationship not locked for characters who are men?
I’m sort of the opposite. Give characters sexualities! Make them people! Give them criteria by which they will or won’t find my character attractive! I feel gross when every NPC is pansexual and aggressively attracted to the main character for no reason. Then again, I’m acespec, so.
Theres plenty of rich people who want to kill trans folk too.
I’m not arguing against there being a huge issue around the uber rich. But people were racist and homophobic and transphobic and misogynistic with every kind of class divide. It doesn’t help that the uber rich are spreading this kind of ideology, but it would exist without them.
I mean, when one “culture” is seeking to eradicate lgbtqia+, poc, and women’s rights… Yeah, we can have a culture war and a class war.
Medical assistance in death
Thats pretty big, “at least I won’t be alive”… I won’t ask “everything OK?” because like, obviously it isn’t, even if we just consider the trump thing. But… What’s up? You okay?
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”
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.
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.
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.
Yes that’s exactly what I meant, thanks. I dont know how I even got that wrong.
I really like Inheritance Machining and One Big Tony This Old Tony
I mean this person seems to be not doing it maliciously. As they say, if it wasn’t them, it would be someone else. Pushing archive to improve their security is great for everyone. As long as this person doesn’t do anything actually malicious, they’re in the clear as far as I’m concerned.

They’re very clearly joking.
Guillotines are far too clunky.
Its both, except in the case of this post where the person is clearly being snarky and trying to put this woman down.
Most mansplaining is a man trying to be helpful. The issue arises in that they try to be helpful in situations where, if it was another man, they wouldn’t try to be helpful, because they’d assume the man already knew the thing.
An obviously stretched out example, but, if someone was dreadfully thirsty and I, out of the absolute kindness of my heart, tried to offer them advice like “Gosh, that sounds awful. I’m so sorry. Have you tried drinking water? I’ve been thirsty before and water always fixes me right up”, I’m sure we’d all agree this is misplaced advice and probably reflects on my perception (or presumptions) of their intelligence.
