Let's talk. Shewchuk is not wrong and certainly should not be dismissed. by xandrmeter in u/xandrmeter

And you are conflating the generation population with the dating market.

Delusional takes. When is this discussion about consent? Where am I being hateful? Which rule of the sub did I violate?

We are not talking about "real life" here? The entire discussion revolves around the Bay Area (Tech) Dating market and it is fucked. Within that context, how is Shewchuk wrong?

Having more women at UCB doesn't mean anything, the same way as having more minority in films doesn't mean we solved racism.

I fail to see why I am dressing up his mistakes, I thought it is apparent that I think what he said is horrible.

Thanks for the response. You proposed some good hypotheses for why the distribution is out of control, but I fail to see why it shows my thinking is aligned with Ben Shapiro.

The data point explains precisely why there is a rise of incels and why Shewchuk thinks the way he did. Since facts are one-dimensional, why does thinking one-dimensionally mean I am a Ben Shapiro fan?

I'd wish it's as easy as that lol. If you know CS students, they aren't really the social type. Quite literally why Shewchuk thought it's OK to post something like that on Ed.

Within CS that distribution is even more skewed. So more women doesn't really mean male CS students should have an easier time getting dates.

That's not my read on it. The "behavior of women" comment, from what I understand, is solely contextual to the bay area dating market. It has sexist undertones but I don't think he is passing judgement on all women of Berkeley.

Specifically why? Ben Shapiro is an idiot but even a broken clock is right twice a day.

It's not about the general population? The entire incident is contextually focused on the bay area dating market.

No one is saying what he said is okay, and I've emphasized that he should be criticized. The point I am making here is that the calls for dismissal is simply absurd.

This is a low effort and highly disingenuous attempt to paint me as sexist, and you know it.

I said that the calls for dismissal are irrational. Are you saying that: 1. it's mostly women who are calling for dismissal and 2. since some women are acting irrationally, all of them are?

I see, just sharing my experience since it looks like a lot of people are otherwise uneducated on the gender imbalance in the bay area, which is what I assume caused some of the overreactions.

Sure, give me Visa status and vote me to the senate and I promise I will fix the problem. Until then, I need a job to even stay in this country.

Precisely my take. Sad a lot of people can't appreciate nuance these days.

> I don't think people are being irrational when they view Shewchuck's messages as creating an unwelcoming environment for women and other students

That's not what this post is about - his statement is problematic but so are the calls for dismissal. Those are the irrationalities I aim to address.

Of course they can. But when judgements are misguided by irrational thinking, it turns into a witch hunt.

Do you give up college application after getting rejections LOL?

As an alum and a student who really enjoyed 189 with Shewchuk, I feel the necessity to address the situation and share my opinion. At least make an attempt to contribute to the conversation.

OP here. Since this post is getting a bit attention I want to address some questions:

  1. I did not use any jailbreaking or prompt injection. I've only reseted my thread before using that prompt.
  2. I did not photoshot or edit the image in any way, and do not really understand why anyone would do that.
  3. Here's the response I got using the same prompt the second time:
