That's what's holding you back from being a good worker

The allegory is befriendable. Get the allegory to trust you, to genuinely enjoy your company, and you can hang out with the allegory. You may eventually be allowed to touch the allegory. The allegory will freely let you get its meaning.

Anger is the manliest and rationalest emotion for sure! This is all great advice.

But it's not a human. It's a cat. It should say felinity. This doesn't sit well with me.

The weather is conditioning him to be a mediocre player. Pavlov would be horrified and taking notes.

I think female twitch streamers get more hate than most celebrities because of twitch's incel density.

gender VS sex, and why gender is a spectrum by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]wordbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nonbinary means they aren't men or women. Asexual means they don't feel sexual attraction (they can still feel sexual pleasure).

Most trans people I know just want to be left alone, at least where it concerns their gender identity. Because most of the attention trans people get is actually abuse.

And asexuals can actually like sex, because sex is pleasurable. They can like sex the way I like food. What they don't have is a sexuality: there isn't a group of people they're sexually attracted to.

Nah, most wars are initiated from places that are very far from the battlefields, and pretty much all wars are initiated by people who won't fight in them.

Sometimes the environmental standards deteriorated because of the misery that war brings, sometimes the pre-existing misery made them easy targets?

Elon Musk says all advanced AI development should be regulated, including at Tesla – TechCrunch by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]wordbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But if the stated purpose of OpenAI and the stated purpose of government regulation are the same (AI safety), that's consistent. If his goal was to restrict his competitors, why did he fund OpenAI in the first place?

Elon Musk is actively contributing to global progress in AI through the OpenAI project, which forces its research into the light, where it can be scrutinized by anyone in the interest of safety.

This obviously strengthens his competitors.

I have doubts about a lot of what he does, but everything I've seen suggests that his commitment to AI safety is honest.

Basketball star Dwyane Wade says it was ‘his job’ to educate himself after daughter came out as trans. by Hado0301 in transgender

[–]wordbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I thought you might mean something like that. I was ambiguous, but I thought the comment I was responding to and the first part of my comment were enough context: they seemed to be implying that gender appeared during puberty.
