WRT animal domestication, I mean there are plenty of ethicists who could credibly argue that it’s a form of abuse. IMO it’s not great.
WRT the rest- kind of riffing on your first sentence- we haven’t even sorted out those things for people, really.
Wait does LW even think slavery is bad
There is some pedophilia in there too.
…also, what the fuck. This is a step backwards, even just reading it. I’m mad.
I was gonna joke that he spent all the prize money on cocaine and needed a job. Because of the film Good Will Hunting, I always thought that the Fields was the same reward as the Nobel. I looked it up and the fields only awards 15k CAD (about 102k Norwegian Krone) vs. the Nobel’s 11mil SEK (10.8m NOK).
FWIW my bookshelf contains very few works along these lines except for the works of Nagata Kabi, specifically 「My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness」, which you might like to check out, if you haven’t already. But uh, yeah all I can say in relation is that it has “Lesbian” in the title.
RIP oceangate guy, you would have loved vibe submarine design
They hope it’ll land safely, but all signs point to it disintegrating during descent and sinking into the abyss
Extremely mature of both of you to make a crouton joke and not once include a scrotum joke

Am seeking suggestions on audiobooks to listen to! I think I’d like to start with the works of Ursula K. Le Guin, tho I don’t know what order to go with, or if that matters.
I’ve always thought that the ability for a VCS to show me exactly what my codebase looked like at any point in the past wasn’t as dementia-simulating as I’d like

From Al Jazeera: Why do AI models struggle with online hate speech detection?
Saw this chart from insta, peep the hate speech target categories, specifically the very oppressed minorities “white nationalists” and “anti-vaxxers”. I’m surprised “men” doesn’t make the list.

NB: I have not looked at the article contents and I’m sure there’s something there.

If you asked me to guess the kind of kerfuffle that might develop between a Cape Breton fiddler and AI, I would have answered, well, my entire knowledge of Cape Breton fiddling is based on the paper “Cape Breton Fiddling and Intellectual Property Rights”, so my guess would be just “the normal AI stuff”. And I’d be totally wrong and reminded that just because I know one thing about something doesn’t mean it’s the only thing.
Well, we do have computer science, so necessarily we must have computer religion/superstition
a rationalist, catcalling: “nice gametes”

yes now that it is pointed out, very eugenics-y to go around saying “ah yes there is one true supreme bacteria, we should culture this bacteria on the human petri dish aka vagina”
