    Could just be a compact model, the big one could just be stupidly pointing out the obvious to a far more advanced compact model that’s just given a lecture on the history of robotic processors.

    The compact advanced model might just be about to say “Very good, I’m glad you were listening”.






  • I liked on IRC (internet relay chat) how all the moderator actions were announced - sometimes even globally.

    It was always overt and obvious why someone was kicked or banned, for how long, and a reason was almost always given (even if it was a joking one liner just to piss off the person being kicked).

    This (especially that last part) made it clear the mods were just people, it showed their work, and also showed how serious, fair, unfair, or political they were.

    Hang around on an IRC channel long enough and you knew what mods were jerks, go to enough channels and you could find which were fair and had well measured rules, and which were just a circus for the mods to play politics in…

    It allowed users to find their places, and their levels, and to see the precedents, standards, and who they could appeal to have bans reversed.

    It was a lot more public than comments disappearing with no answers as to why, and not even being able to notice if users disappear from a community… Which is how things are on many platforms today.

    Neanderthals and others existed contemporaneously didn’t they…

    … but also, so many parts of our brain are needed to do facial recognition that we’re prone to seeing faces where there are none…

    …so it’s possible that what we’re on the watch for is other humans trying to ambush us, which means regular people hiding = uncanny valley = fear.

    There are non-binary people who still believe genders can suit others, and even be played with as forms of role play …and there are also examples of null states, such as nullos and asexuals…

    …so non-binary doesn’t necessarily make a new binary if they still believe gender is fine for others, or as a role play.

    A better way to think about it might be as a gender spectrum or quadratic continuum of varied characteristics and overlapping body forms and sexual preferences/behaviour.

    …queer.
