@wongmjane@insolventXBT Last message from deepseek seems to sum up the model's behavior on the topic. Seems to weirdly know it is wrong but can't say so.
@zhenyamoder software is cool because it's simultaneously information and machine and you can make something from basically nothing by just thinking a lot and then typing a little. magician's profession
@oomfatuated@vic_hates_x Yeah steam is still xwayland, and tbf I have used discord as a tab on the browser/with vencord(can screenshare)
Got ya! less painful on windows
@CappyIshihara@saltyAom Idk man the people seem pretty happy having an app instead of not having one, and seem happier with it than with the flutter version.
@CappyIshihara@saltyAom I want to do more things and not less though. Its not a worthy tradeoff that writing it in a custom renderer would allow my programs to run at 100000 fps if writing it in a tenth of the time for browser engines gets me 300fps on a phone.
No. It's trivial to find one person who's been harmed by any policy. You can find one person who's been harmed by chemotherapy, or going to the gym.
But the problem is - you haven't even done the trivial thing! There's nothing here saying Avery regrets taking puberty blockers! Don't you think if she'd said so, this account would be making it front and center of their story? But it's not here, and I've done an Internet search and it's not in any other story about Avery either. The last thing I can find about them is that they went to a Trans Pride event at the White House, which doesn't really seem like the actions of someone who's regretting their association with the transgender movement.
The only argument here is that they've gone from being transfemale to nonbinary. But nonbinary is also a form of transgender, and also one where people frequently want to take puberty blockers. It's so trivial to find one anecdote to prove your point that I would expect you to be able to be showing me a story about someone on puberty blockers who fully detransitioned, and is now back to their natal sex and regrets ever having tried the drugs. But if there is one of those, Avery isn't it.
You're also presenting this as evidence that the effects of puberty blockers are "irreversible" even after they've been stopped - but as far as I know, there's no evidence that Avery ever stopped their puberty blockers. It's not mentioned in the description of the article above, and it's not mentioned in any of the other articles about Avery I could find online. Are you really too lazy to do the extremely trivial work of finding one anecdote about a person who was unhappy to be on puberty blockers, and then stopped, and then noticed even one side effect that didn't reverse?
You only mention that Avery is asexual. Without knowing whether she stopped the blockers or not, we have no way of knowing whether stopping them would restore her sex drive or not. But also, 1-4% of people identify as asexual these days, and since all sexual anomalies cluster, it's probably much higher among trans people - I would guess 5-10% even before puberty blockers enter the picture. So the article's claim that it's "indisputable" that the blockers caused the asexuality is ridiculous.
Please do your homework and find me ten people who started puberty blockers, detransitioned, and then complained of some irreversible side effect that continued afterwards (besides bone loss, the one that studies have confirmed exists). It won't really change my mind, because I think there are hundreds to thousands who are happy with their choice to use them, and 100s-1000s is greater than ten. But if you found me ten, I would at least feel like you were making a genuine whole-hearted effort to play the "my anecdote beats your data" game.
I think even beyond that, the best thing that you (or your source, or anyone in your movement) could do is not sound so gleeful every time you find a (fake, made-up) story of a child being irreversibly harmed. I have never once, in talking to a bunch of gender-critical people with opinions on the side effects of puberty blockers, heard them say "Alas, I wish these children could have lived the lives they wanted, but it seems like the current drugs have too many side effects. We should try to find some better protocol for the drugs that avoid these - or, if we can't, I hope we one day discover a side effect-free drug that will make it possible to help them." If someone were to say that, I'd trust them, because it sounds like they're coming from the same place I am (actual concern about people, wanting the best for them, wanting them to be able to live the way they want). I think people keep falling for these stories about fake side effects because they want to have an excuse to deny these kids the right to change their bodies - not because they start with the idea that it's dangerous to use these drugs and then sadly determine that the dangers are so great that we must take people's rights away to prevent harm.
@IsaacKing314@max_spero_@JohnHolbein1 Llms can write something a human would write, even if it is out of it's natural distribution. It seems to me that with enough attempts and understanding an LLM will eventually produce this. There is only so many ways to write something, and iteratively an LLM can find a human one
