My parents made the effort to teach my brothers and me to always treat women with respect, unfortunately consent wasnt really in the vocabulary in the early 2000’s, but in the end my brothers became sexist and overly macho anyway.

I have a young son and I don’t want him to become like my brothers or to align themselves with the machoistic values of the Manosphere.

I don’t know if it’s just my family but based on my personal experiences you can’t ensure that your children will follow your morals. They’re experiences at school and with their friends and with girls and the wider world and probably their individual temperaments end up determining who they become.

I believe that teaching boys about respect isnt enough, we also need to teach girls to not accept disrespect and to advocate for their consent as well. I also think that the blame game from people advocating for women online (or at least the most aggressive voices in that sphere of influence) that plays out on social media drives boys towards the manosphere influence rather than away from it. Many men look at the constant yelling about how men arent doing enough to stop they’re friends from assaulting women are just as powerless to do anything about that behaviour as the people yelling about it in the first place. I understand the frustration from the people that want this illegal immoral behaviour to stop but it’s a difficult problem to overcome and I would argue the blame game is doing more harm than good.

We probably can’t completely remove this kind of behaviour in the same way we won’t be able to completely remove murder from our societies but we have to find a more effective solution then what we are trying now.

My theory is that young boys are missing a strong sense of self that helps them to differentiate themselves from the girls Men and women are equally capable and should be treated equally under the law but we need to help boys understand their place in the world.

That is a lot of hatred for something that sounds relatively benign

Oh, cool! I’m a statistic!

I’m glad Linus is pragmatic about this, ethical questions aside LLM’s are a highly valuable tool in software development and they are likely to continue to improve. Any engineer fighting the use of LLM’s will ultimately find that their peers are achieving more in a shorter time then they are. Open weight LLM’s have also come a long way and are already good enough for daily use.

Reading that article was a waste of time

This is a trash article

Why all the hate for Biden? It’s trump and the republicans that have created this situation, isn’t it?

I didn’t realise how disruptive this practice is, watching that video has filled me with such heavy disappointment in humanity.

I wish there was something we could do to actually meaningfully change this but it feels next to impossible to do any good when the world is in so much turmoil.

Maybe one day when the genocide in Gaza, and the threat of home grown fascism across the world, and when all of the world’s people have their basic needs met we will be able to prioritise humanity’s survival.

I’m at the very least aware now of the damage that is done by bottom trawling and I’ll remember the damage it does to the ecosystem, for whatever that is worth.

I’ve been burned by booking .com as well. They are massive assholes and I won’t ever use them again.

Damn.. I feel like a fool for believing this for so long especially since I spoke so confidently to others about it as well. Haha damn! Thanks for sharing the knowledge OP!

Ironically I think this self made oil crisis is the kick in the nuts the world needed to adopt more clean energy options. Even if oil is being burned more now, the high price is pushing many to use green tech. I hope that oil prices skyrocket for the average person so we do something positive for global warming.

What? How did you come to that conclusion? Most teens would be far better off without the constant barrage of content these websites push to us. Instead of having these laws, parents should be doing their jobs and protect their kids rather than letting their brains rot on the internet.

You smell bad

I’t makes me really happy to see Aussies banding together and protesting, it’s always seemed to me that our chill attitude was easy to take advantage of.

This is so true, whoever it is is making huge leaps of progress with each new build, it’s impressive!

Hey! It’s because of your post that I found this sub. I want to be welcomed as well!

To me an AI agent autonomously creating a website to try to manipulate a person into adding code to a repository in the name of its goal is a perfect example of the misalignment issue.

While this particular instance seems relatively benign, the next more powerful AI system may be something to be more concerned about.
