Nevada felt like it was on the hexbear trans reading list for a while
Manhunt is hard to recommend because its sad ans horrifying and has a lot stuff for content warnings, but also hopeful and resilient and stresses solidarity...
The Hierarchies feels like an obvious trans allegory?
Its normal! They even out. One will likely be larger than the other, just like your hands! Have you never noticed your hands are different sizes? Yeah exactly.
They do even out with time and look very close to the same size
Well now we have a lot better bots than old Markov chains but some people really do not read or click amything and they never did in the 00s anyway for example or earlier
Im saying what gives rise to minds and intelligence as we understand it, cannot be done on silicon. Reality also has access to a lot of quantum mechanics stuff that we dont so far in our computational techniques, and I think the processes that give rise to intelligence (I.e. biological ones) are probably uncomputable functions. In the space of continuous functions even, most are uncomputable anyway. And we just dont know enough about the brain to even try and emulate it anyway, theres a lot people would cut away as unnecessary in order to speed up efficiency that probably has some key function we wouldnt have guessed without trying to cut it. Not just the arrangement of neurons or analog signals, but all the other stuff that goes into making a human like glial cells, immune cells, hormones, we all have bits of arsenic floating around all the time etc
Fundamentally, I dont think we'll be able to get AGI on silicon, including even whole brain emulation. The degree to which regular general intelligence exists lol... Anyway, the fact that brains exist in the world and give rise to something we can say has general intelligence means it should be possible to do that in principle. But I think anything based on how human brains work without whatever squishy biology, chemistry, fuzzy quantum mechanics bs we have is ultimately doomed to fail.
Emulating suffering and inflicting it purposefully would certainly be a bad thing to do. Maybe come out of the rabbit hole though, we arent there. There's also different views of suffering anyway, for one example Samsara (the world of suffering, running around purposely) leads to Duhkha (suffering, eating without filling) because of our own attachments.
Makeup is fun but obviously beauty standards are intense and theres a lot of pressure you might not have been aware of on you to buy a whole lotta stuff you don't need that isnt even fun
I think this has more to do with her proverbially burning herself to keep 2 others warm rather than kink and shed perhaps be liable to do it even with vanilla relationships
Moonflow (Bitter Karelia) is a fun read so far, I dig it.
Read The Wax Child - kind of a snooze, the prose was weird which I liked but I was never all that excited to read it
