My Research on Gender Dysphoria Was Censored. But I Won’t Be.

I think if you tell enough people they might be transgender some of them will get their dicks cut off. If, on the other hand, you had never told them there was such a thing, they would never have come up with the idea to do so.

As such spreading transgender ideas should be similarly viewed as infecting people with HIV on purpose.

Thanks for the explanation. It makes sense that it is automated.

Can you see how big the attack is on your infrastructure (that is, how many requests you would have to handle per second (alternatively, more specific or different metrics like number of bytes per second or number of connections made per second) if it wasn't for CloudFlare)?

I am just wondering how big the hate is against this website.

I knew that the web was broken, but it's disappointing to see it in action.

Why would anyone want to interact with a drug addict or a cop?

Let's not pretend that society has lost anything of value when Floyd died and let's not pretend that society lost anything when the cop was stabbed in prison.

The black community just used Floyd for some nightly "shopping" at Walmart; that was their great moment of social justice. Well, you go girls! The idea that black lives matters is not exactly supported by facts. Sure, they might count to make the NFL work, but I am sure there would still be a league with non-blacks. Is it their huge scientific contributions then? Oh, wait! Those hardly exist. It's not like there ever was a black Einstein (no, NDT doesn't count).

I have the impression that a lot of people have hated Jews throughout history and perhaps this is just because they were smarter and thus capable of more evil. In a way, one group of slightly more stupid people is just jealous about all the ways Jews have fucked them over throughout the ages. If someone knows of a good book about what the exact historical reasons are for hating Jews, that would be great; Jews have been hated before "Gaza" was a thing.

The police community consists of corrupt morons, which only exists because most citizens never get to experience their corrupt asses. If more people would just open their eyes for a change, they would have laws to allow a citizen to legally murder every cop in the street that didn't follow the law to the letter.

The idea that citizens should respect the police comes from ancient times; the modern cop is a true asshole in its heart. The law should be changed such that cops can't just be held personally responsible, but that capital punishment would only require a small abuse of power.

Study finds 40-60% of men have man boobs - but what is actually causing it? by [deleted] in news

[–]binaryblob 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Many antidepressants also cause man boobs, so that would account for 10% or so. Since all those end up in the water supply and many water treatment plants do not fully eliminate all medicine, it's possible that the population effects are much greater.

Skin contact with plastics (think smart phones) also generated female hormones, which results in boobs.

I think gen Z men are more feminine. I literally don't know anyone I would consider a "traditional man" in that age bracket. There is an island near the coast in India; I expect those men to be real men like God (note: fictional character) intended.

Would you consider AI to be closer to General Intelligence than Neanderthal? by [deleted] in AskSaidIt

[–]binaryblob 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Don't call it AI. Just calls them LLMs. LLMs are good at text summarization and combining linear combinations of whatever. They don't work for anything else.

I tried a couple of different major LLMs.

It's possible to have them write somewhat useful computer programs, but they need a lot of handholding. It is absolutely impossible to make them do anything that would require extensive knowledge or expertise.

Basic math as used in physics calculations is way beyond these LLMs already.

For domains in which there is a lot of text available with a linear progression and a smooth function. Take for example "tell me the hair color of the main characters of the book 'The LOTR'" would be something I would expect these systems to work for.

The complexity of the functions that LLMs can solve is low.

I have never seen a LLM solve any problem of interest; having said that, almost no human does anything of interest either.

I think it would be really difficult to convince yourself you are a woman when you have a dick or no uterus.

It should be considered a brain disease, even though it's not curable right now. I have no doubt there is a bunch of genes that might switch on or off that tell your brain how you are supposed to feel, but that doesn't mean it would be reasonable to not consider the wrong states to be a disease.

How do the actual scientists see this? I mean, of course, they can't say on national television that all trans people are in fact sick, but perhaps they publish the same in some journals or something (which nobody reads anyway).

Protesting makes sense when nobody knows there is a problem, but when even children get to learn about these issues it seems there is no point in them doing this, other than to annoy others.

I am not seeing any sense of urgency to solve climate change, because a lot more could be done. I think the most important aspect of climate change is still making money under the veil of "the environment". As long as that doesn't change, nothing will change. Ultimately, the government needs to act, which in a democracy is almost guaranteed not to happen, because some other schmuck will be in office next year.

I think most people hope nuclear fusion is going to save us all, which is irrational, because fission is an existing miracle technology and we aren't using that at scale either. Nuclear waste management is scientifically a solved problem too.

Very little on social media is done by accident; in particular by the influencer crowd. Specific to Bethenny: as she ages and her following starts to go stale, time to bring the teen daughter into the mix. The latter is still a child; although one cannot help but notice that she has the body of someone much older - especially in the adult outfits her mom is providing to her. In a couple of years she will start modeling and off we go to being famous. I think that most agree that 13 is too young for this; although she is on a well trod path. That said, hopefully it will not be the same one of Drew Barrymore..

Do you support eugenics? by fschmidt in AskSaidIt

[–]binaryblob 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

If we could do eugenics, we should. It's just that some safe guards would have to be kept in place to ensure some diversity. Giving birth to people that we already know to be defective, is not good for the person being born nor for society.

The level of eugenics we can currently do, is quite unsophisticated. Single location changes can probably be done with a high level of success, but we can't do changes in 100 places (Harvard did this in an adult, but it's not a routine thing).

In an eugenics world, nobody would have to wear glasses for example, which would be a net benefit to society. The thesis that "only perfect humans would exist" (as if that would be a bad thing) is not even practically possible. It's like saying that "AI will take over the world", before any intelligent AI exists (spoiler alert: no intelligent AI has ever been programmed into a computer of meaningful size in public, although it might have happened in a military context).

I was indoctrinated in high school that eugenics were bad, but since I learned that with slightly different red blood cells, we could sprint for 15 minutes instead of twenty seconds I can't imagine why anyone not would want to be able to do that. Imagine that you could just walk up Mt. Everest without even breaking a sweat untrained. Imagine that you could go on a space walk without oxygen. In fact, imagine that you could just enable some kind of built-in body armor going into a harsh environment; the possibilities of eugenics are endless. How about bullet wounds that would heal within milliseconds of impact? There is nothing that prevents that from working, other than a lack of engineering knowhow. It's just that religious nut jobs killed it, before it ever became a thing.

Starting a war against is only sane when you know the enemy. As such, knowing everything that happens within US airspace would be the absolute minimum that one has to monitor for at least a couple of years before flipping the switch on invasion of Taiwan.

If the US has reverse-engineered saucer technology (this could obviously just be an elaborate hoax, but the Tic Tacs remain an oddity) China would probably want to know that before entering a war (especially, since they aren't any good at fighting wars).

I wish I knew for a fact whether the Tic Tacs are real and that I would get the real data surrounding them, because if you know the real characteristics, it's like that you can figure out how they work (even though, as David Grusch said, they might live in a higher dimension, which would explain a lot and would make it impossible for us to ever match such capabilities, since such higher dimensional beings would control dimensions that do not exist for us).

The only reason to spy on someone is for nefarious reasons. That part is true.

He should have kept his mouth shut, but I think there is virtually no limit to what technology can do.

It's in the best interest of the US to have a fully working nuclear shield working, but in such a way that almost nobody knows about it. Depending on the level of technological sophistication, it's probably possible to make a global working nuclear shield with just a hundred people even knowing it exists with just three or four that know the operational details. It's even possible to reduce that number to zero in principle, although that would not be recommended and you would have to shoot everyone with knowledge of the project.

She looks like a model with an enormous amount of make-up and expensive clothes. Yeah, that's totally the behaviour of someone with autism. /s

She is one of those obnoxious people that exploit whatever mental illness du jour to get views. Even if she has autism, saying you are "anxious" when you live stream your life to millions, is called lying.

For every chronic illness on the block, you can find such people. I saw someone that wrote 4 books today that claimed "she was living in isolation" ... WITH HER HUSBAND. How fucking retarded do you have to be to claim that seriously?

If you have a serious chronic illness, you do not have the energy to write four fucking books.

I think it's just that humans suck, not social media. The only reason this place doesn't suck yet (or well, not in the normal sense), is because not enough idiots joined yet. This place seems to be an ideal testing ground for Russian and Chinese propaganda (and perhaps even Western propaganda, which is harder for me to see since I am from the West, obviously).

Not sure whether I should welcome you or whether I should ask you to leave.

"WARNING: there are known law enforcement and/or intelligence operatives and/or paid manipulators present on this site. DO NOT REVEAL ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION or click on suspicious links without hiding your true ip address."

This is just someone role playing as if anyone important is on this website. It is a message clearly designed to make some random schmuck feel self-important. Just look at yourself: You can't even use proper punctuation.

If you are a completely ignorant sucker and you believe everything you read, then you might fall for propaganda. I actually enjoy consuming propaganda to some degree. It's fun to see their pathetic attempts, although deep fakes have made propaganda too easy in theory and it's kind of killing the fun for me.

I think traditional news sources are acting irresponsible regarding the threat posed by deep fakes, but it's not like there is a cure for stupidity.

In theory this world is super dangerous, but in practice you may have found humans to be stupid. Perhaps the top-5 countries in the world even have the capability to do anything that could be considered "dangerous" with a state budget. The story where a "terrorist" does something without state funding, just doesn't happen or it's at most a minor incident by someone with a mental illness (like what happened in France some weeks ago).

I don't know whether you are not actually a bot, but if you are not, getting a useful education is very valuable. I worked with someone from your country, but he was the best your country had to offer (so, if you don't consider yourself to be the smartest person in a peer group of let's say a few thousand people, don't count on you being comparable).

It is possible to make probably more money than you can even dream of, but you would probably have to leave the country for a decent education.

There are international lists of universities and you could just contact a lot of them and ask hem whether they have any Colombian students and how they got there.

These days, you could perhaps even just ask ChatGPT.

Activism is an oxymoron. Actual action would be funding a bunch of scientists figuring out better battery chemistries. So buy the stock of such companies such that their cost of capital goes down, such that they can expand further and so on. Strangely, when I mention that to the activists they have nothing to say.

If they have no money for investment, they could study to become an engineer, because their leisure management degree surely isn't going to solve global warming.

Russia is just sending its undesirables to the battlefield, so every death is profitable, because there are more resources left for the rest of their crabs.

We would need to see many statistical variables to know whether it would be damaging to Russia, which I surely don't have.

I don't understand why anyone takes international law seriously. International law is just a set of rules that is valid, until someone invents a bigger stick. If you want to be a sovereign country, the number one focus is likely to abolish international law.

International law is basically American law. Now, I am not saying everything in international law is bad, but the laws are written like that for a reason.

Some of the media reports claim that there were plans to kill some politicians, but otherwise it's just a bunch of deranged people that went to visit a place they had no business visiting. If you want to take over a country without subverting its intelligence apparatus and its security system (e.g. National Guard in this case at the very least) it shouldn't be regarded as a serious situation, but these people should be pointed at and laughed at.

With the enormous amount of land and resources, Russia could have been the richest country in the world with the most modern technology, but instead it's a shithole.

I think the reason Russia invaded was just because they thought they could (and who knows, perhaps they might still win) and replicate their actions in other countries.

The problem with that line of reasoning is that Russia is painting a massive "kick me"-sign on their country for the next few hundred years, because the world keeps count. Shorting the entire world is kind of a bad idea.

If you want to have long term success as a state, either you conquer the entire planet in a year or you don't attack at all. Geopolitics isn't like it was thousands of years ago. For every smaller state in the world, there is now an incentive to fund the war against the big bully.

The only scenario in which this war makes sense, is if Putin is in fact a spy for the US with the goal being to reduce Russia or Putin just has the brain of a taxi driver.

I hope we get the real reason for the war someday, because a three day war with perfect war plans and execution could have made some sense as a show of power, but the columns of military hardware stuck on roads is something the world is never going to forget. It will be remembered as a bunch of fucking morons that went to war. The Germans at least were remembered for being skilled at war at the beginning of WW2.
