  • Amen.

    Nobody takes issue with the idea that people can’t own people. Until they’re in a relationship and they start thinking of their partner as their property.

    The insecurity around the all-or-nothing nature of monogamy creates all of the problems in monogamy.

    Plus: orgies. Like. What’s the point of living without orgies?

    Sex with one person, forever, no group sex, incessant discussions around fidelity driven by insecurity, gee, where do I sign up?


  • No one teaches you how to have a relationship. So people just kind of default into patterns that are often toxic.

    It’s why taking a step back and being deliberate about how to communicate is so important. There needs to be a shared understanding and deliberateness about how to intentionally communicate.

    And it needs to be something that applies equally to everyone involved. No copouts, no special circumstances that only go one way, there need to be firm, hard rules with specific consequences that apply evenly to all involved that are arrived at communally, and not unilaterally.


  • It takes two to tango.

    The defensive lashing out type stuff happens because he hasn’t established firm boundaries around it. And she’s probably lashing out about stuff because… Well. Doesn’t matter, really.

    There need to be firm boundaries about how to have a discussion that apply evenly to both of them. Both of them need to buy into these rules. When the lines are crossed the discussion ends.

    This isn’t about shutting down a discussion but having the awareness to recognize constructive versus destructive discussions.

    Setting reasonable, adult boundaries and rules, sticking to them, and establishing that certain behaviours are problematic are the only way this gets better.

    If she’s unable to recognize her own defensiven ss as a problem and work on it all of this falls apart but having the framework in place will allow transparency into the why of it.




  • The thing in this post about curiosity isn’t just a lemmy/online thing.

    The vast majority of people are mainly interested in themselves. Like - if you have trouble on dates, making friends, getting along at work, anything to do with people in general - approaching them with a sense of sincere curiosity will completely change things overnight.

    Get people to talk about themselves, be supportive in your discussions with them, and shut the fuck up wherever possible and suddenly you’re interesting, a good person, kind, whatever - traits you’ve done exactly fuck all to demonstrate, but that people will swear are true because you seem interested in them.

    It’s fucking bonkers but it’s true. Curiosity can change your world.

    The issue isn’t that the parties are the same. It is that neither should be in power. And you’re all too fucking brainwashed to realize the only way out of this mess without violent revolution is a third party gaining power. And even with, probably.


  • That’s what they said basically.

    Like. You can compile better or more diverse datasets to train a model on. But you can also have better code training on the same dataset.

    The model is what the code poops out after its eaten the dataset I haven’t read the paper so no idea if the better training had to do with some super unique spin on their dataset but I’m assuming its better code.



  • Increasingly I feel like our only hope for the future is somehow achieving ASI and that it somehow is benevolent in spite of our numerous failings as a species and KT basically starts manipulating us or directly controlling us away from self destruction.

    There are so many doomsday scenarios on the horizon that if it ends up being evil we may at least be able to take it down with us.
