I think we might be well past the days of honest natural sport. Thats not me saying we should be cheating, but trying to get back to that isnt possible, we have to figure this out moving forward not just for women or trans people but for all the other ways science affects sports.

Its not natural that someone with enough money for the best training science can provide them is almost guaranteed to be in the top percentiles of their sport.

What’s interesting is that this has been true since at least roman times, with funding going towards training and gear, even if the participants themselves might not be wealthy.

Because to those outside of religion, its a choice to be religious. All of those least worst Muslims or good Muslims or good Christians or whatever you want to say, all should not be in those religions to begin with.

I’m not saying to destroy the community, break off and make your own “fuck the shitty versions of our religions” sect.

At some point people need to be held to their decisions, despite the community social pressure aspect, as the only way to counter that is equal and opposite pressure.

If you can figure out how to remain in a religion and cause that kind of backlash then I suppose you would be the exception.

Just to summarize, all religions are bad, so being part of them is bad too, even if you are a good person. Can’t be a good Nazi right?

Why are you lashing out at strangers? I dont know that your anger is coming off the way you think it is.

Did you consider that the Netherlands thinks its important to stand by its rule of reform over punishment? You are being incredibly vague as well with what the person deserves.

Say it plainly, what should have been done instead?

Asking you to clarify or defend your position is acting in bad faith? I’m sorry you are too tired to engage but thats not my fault. I’m not sure what I would do with a gotcha anyways, I’m not on social media and I dont have anyone to share it with.

Feel free to come back and defend your perspective whenever though, I’ll see it in my replies I’m sure.

How’s the network wide ad blocking work, that would solve a big issue with my kids.

Is containers here used in the same context as docker? I’m not familiar with podman.

Why does competing need to be a downside of transitioning? Why does transitioning need any or more downsides?

The original post in this thread was entirely black and white, saying it should be decided at birth. Where’s the nuance there?

Where are the trans athletes that are ruining female sports at? Shouldnt we have at least something real to be afraid of? What about men’s sports? Noone wants to talk about trans males for some reason, why dont you take issue with them?

Children tend to have parity up until a certain point, I believe thats where some of the concern is at.

Why do you think the exact gender needs to be nailed down right at birth?

They can’t openly use grindr. I’m sure theres plenty of stealth profiles on there.

In my opinion its a direct response to the advice that this can be turned into a positive, and is just pointing out that its technically based on a deceptive principle so you should not make a habit out of it.

I think its fair to consider the situation from all involved perspectives, including the Dads friend.

Dudes just saying you can be deceptive without intending it. Its not the craziest idea is it?

To avoid abusing the sunk cost fallacy, it would be best to tell the dad that is not the correct rate, and to please reach out to their friend with the correction.

No chance of someone feeling like they might as well choose youre higher rate because they are already talking to you.

Call it even I suppose.

What you call manipulating words is just a different perspective, neither of us is breaking any laws, and this is absolutely about morals. Your perspective apparently is that none of thus warrants any moral consideration at all. I disagree.

Of course noones trying to stop you, we are talking about why you use something and I wont, thats it. If you only care about what benefits you personally, of course youll butt heads with people who choose to apply a different methodology for what is good or bad. What was your point in even commenting on here, just fear you’d lose your new tool?

Yeah I assumed the person defending the OP was the OP, my bad. What’s your excuse for being an asshat? Internet tough guy? You sound so big and in charge when you talk like that you know. Do you talk to strangers like that in person too? Can you share your other qualities so I can copy them? You are obviously an amazing person so please help me.

Creating art for yourself is a fiction. Doing nearly anything for yourself is a fiction. As much as some feel they prefer to be alone, noone lives in a bubble.

When you talk about barriers to entry for art, you really mean high quality art. Sure, perfectionists will be able to outdo their outsized expectations of themselves, briefly. The barriers to making art have been incredibly low for all of human history if you really are talking purely about the cost to begin making art. You and I can start cresting art with our hands right now. How much lower can the barriers be?

It seems to me you would find it easier to work on your perspective that prevents you from enduring the failure required to learn high quality art than to advise we steal all art globally and historically, combine it into a program using the energy of a large nation, and present it to you at your home over the internet.

But like you said, we all have our perspectives on what is important.

The comparison to cars is interesting, although cars maybe have peaked already and I doubt technology has.

I dont think proprietary information is helping much either. Makes young folk think they need to get a job at Google to work on something real and important.

I wish all this AI stuff was limited to just creating a new coding language. That I can get behind, sharing programming information is not the same as copying others art.

Maybe.

It could also cause immense frustration when people realize that all the time they spent creating AI art is essentially wasted when it comes to learning a new skill.

It could give people false expectations about the effort needed to make art. It could flood the internet with AI art to the point where it hides individual artists even more, driving down demand due to over supply.

Also, you dont need to create stunning works to motivate people to create more art, the problem is people not accepting the learning process which involves a hell of a lot of mediocrity and failure along the way. AI tools are not going to improve the average persons perspective, who likely thinks you need to be born with a gift to be an artist.

I think they mean that they were the last generation who was alive and learning about how things were built and innovated on, while newer generations won’t have that benefit.

They will be exposed to high level tools instead that automate a lot of the work which will make things easier for them but reduce understanding.

Thus, the newer generations on average will need to purposefully dig back into the past to learn what the older generations learned by just being around while it was happening.

These are just general trends though, its not going to be very practical to try to apply it to any individuals, or the group of people you work with.
