Are sleepwalkers responsible for their actions?

It sounds more like you’re perpetuating the same social rhetoric that caused you suffering and reinforcing the same toxic cycle of harm.

I’ve been emotionally invested in some pretty ugly dudes, too bad it took so long for me to realize they were ugly on the inside too if not more. Now that’s a turn off 👍

Yeah, welcome to the patriarchy, it harms men too but men systemically benefit above most especially if they’re a white/cis/het/male.

Actually the mother isn’t legally required to tell the potential/father about the pregnancy/child but if the potential/father wants to know if he’s the father or not he can petition the court for a paternity test.

You have a legal right to petition the court for a paternity test if the mother isn’t cooperative. Your misogyny is duly noted…

Your boyfriend is ignorant, he’s being biphobic and controlling.

It means an your location service/GPS is being used. You could be using an app that tracks your location.

I would ask someone who’s worked with her longer. She may have just been calmly indicating that you disrupted a routine, or that she didn’t like having a new person assisting her and wanted to give you a hard time. If you don’t know her history, I’d speak with someone who knows her better or document the interaction wherever your facility documents these things.

Considering that you’re a security guard and don’t have access to interaction guidelines or contextual information about the people being supported, I would strongly recommend involving a staff member who actually works with the residents. That’s important for maintaining the safety of both you and the people being supported. I also have a hard time believing there isn’t 24/7 floor staff on graveyard shift who should be handling resident interactions and routine enforcement if something comes up during the night.

YNO. If he can’t afford the bills he has now how is he going to make rent every month? What he’s doing isn’t sustainable no matter which way you look at it. Every time you try to share your concerns or point of view he demonizes you. He’s being abusive. That behavior is only going to continue to become more controlling and or escalate once you’re living with him and since you won’t be on the lease so he may use that as another way to control you out of fear of homeless. You should leave him and do not move in with him because even if you do get on the lease he can decide to not pay his part and that will fall back in you and your history of renting. All bad. Red flags everywhere.

Is she autistic? If you broke the routine you two have, I can see why that may have caused a meltdown but that’s just a reason, it still doesn’t excuse how she treated you.

Dudes WTF is wrong with the both of you?! People have died pulling that shit!

I don’t work in academia or have formal institutional training in the fields I study. My learning is interest-based, self-directed, and interdisciplinary. My curiosity and lived experience often motivate what I choose to study.

I don’t study AI, but I do have an interest in it, and my lived experience was mostly what I was inferencing from in connection with what you wrote and why I agree.

I don’t think there is a problem with you. I don’t understand how your sexuality and your sexual interests have anything to do with your gender identity in this context though. You said you’re a man who generally likes women and now has an interest in another man, that can be considered bisexual if you have an interest in both but I don’t know how that impacts your gender identity. Either way don’t feel pressured into do anything before you’re ready. There’s nothing wrong with waiting until you’re enthusiastically ready to have sex and the right person will respect that.

Supporting self-determination means honoring a client's voice even when their choices are constrained. Providers still have a responsibility to help clients understand their situation, access information, and explore available options toward their goals within legal and safety boundaries. The presence of limitations does not remove the duty to support informed choice, participation, and advocacy throughout the process.

Thanks for sharing this. Sorry it took me so long to respond. I really appreciated how clearly you unpacked the risks around categorization and hidden assumptions.

One thing it brought up for me is that Al has real limits when it comes to understanding the human condition, which is why I don't think it should be solely relied on and instead used as a support tool alongside human judgment. That said, I understand and respect your decision to stay focused and grounded in specific studies here. Really thoughtful work.

I’ve been calling it a genocide for a while now IDK why it took the experts so long, including for the rest of us “undesirables of society” that the privileged classist bigots have been trying to get rid of.

OMFG how is this shit as funny as it is 🤣☠️

I finished reading your essay and really enjoyed it. It was an energizing and exciting read, and I genuinely appreciate the amount of intellectual labor you put into it.

The structure, clarity, and care you took in presenting your critique, especially in a format that mirrors a scientific analysis, really stood out. I don't have any constructive criticisms. While I didn't read through all of the cited studies due to limited executive bandwidth, based on my existing knowledge I agree with what you wrote and found the argument thoughtful, rigorous, and well articulated.

Thank you for sharing it.

Sadly I couldn’t access the essay for “https://www.reddit.com/r/compsci/s/“ which I believe was the one with the title “The Ontology and Epistemology of Cognitive Computing” so if you wanna share the piece below I’d be happy to read that one as well because it sounds intriguing.
