I am a man of substance

what about that convinced you it’s nature?

All those boys were raised in a similar culture with similar influences regarding how boys should behave. You don’t have a control group.

Technically, I suppose

The period is very short

What is your argument that that phase of boyhood is nature rather than nurture?

Kids that age are typically emulating their older peers, and things they’ve seen at school, in media, at home, in public, etc. if anything, I think that the behaviour difference we observe between adolescent boys and girls suggests that kids absorb gender roles very early. Even from before they can walk, the typical common toy selection differs greatly; girls get toys that teach them about working with people and caring, but get toys that teach them about manual labour(?!?!). Even if you don’t do that with your children, at school and daycare they’re surrounded by kids who are raised like that.

When my son was a preschooler, he loved to wear dresses, but as he approached school age he would wear them less and less, and completely stopped since he started school. I don’t think he grew out of it and we didn’t tell him to stop, but he learned that lesson from his peers.

All the abilities that set humans apart from other animals are social in nature, humans evolved to help each other (at least in small groups)

I agree with everything you said except that I think too much nurture is attributed to nature. I don’t think it’s human nature, i think this is the nature of our culture. To say it is human nature is, imo, unnecessarily fatalistic.

When you hate women, men are the natural alternative.

You’d think they’d be a lot more supportive of trans women, given this. Although I suppose maybe it’s their way of being affirming.

Prosthetic leg. C’mon, it’s right there!

Oh never mind, you’re a girl.
I thought you were a furry femboy

What if I like and share?

I did a better job explaining my position in another comment, the problem is one of culture. We live in a culture that pressures people to use AI in this bad way, and pressures the creators of AI to court bad people as customers, and throw away their ethics. If we weren’t in a rat race, I feel like a lot of the problems would go away.

But we live in the culture that we live in, and at some point you simply cannot practically view the technology in isolation.

I think that the problem, in both cases, is culture.

It’s not that either of those are bad, or bad for people; it’s bad for people of this culture or people of this society. It’s how the two intersect that is the problem.

It could be a tool that lifts up the worker or creative, but instead it’s a tool to devalue the creative and extract power and wealth.
It highlights that people with power get a different set of rules and laws than the rest of us, and they’re using that to further entrench and enrich themselves.

I think it kinda depends on the context. If someone is just making a tool for themselves and they slap on MIT or GPL3 just because who cares someone else can have it, then sure. Who cares if it’s trash if the stakes are so low that they’re scraping the ground and the user base is expected to be single digits.

But when you care about the reputation of your project, or if your project requires people trust it, then yeah for sure it’s not appropriate to vibe/slop it.

I have ethical concerns about the realities of how this tech is used, mainly in what it’s doing to the economic and power dynamics in society. But I don’t have a problem with the tech itself. That said, I have to admit that it may not be realistic to separate the tech from its inevitable impact. Now I have become death, the destroyer of worlds, and all that.

Well I was born around a hospital in 1:28pm

Hope, not expect.

Raccoons, foxes.

But honestly, pretty much any movie I saw as a kid.

RIP my parents, I wonder how many times I made them sit through the original Mario bros movie.

Marry poppins.

What a good movie.

My understanding is that that is because Google and Apple want to onboard it to their own home automation platforms, and HomeAssistant just piggybacked on that because it was easier, and it hasn’t been a priority to rewrite it. But this is based on a few old threads I just looked up, I’m not exactly an expert.
I think there was some talk about Bluetooth onboarding, but that’d require the devices to have a Bluetooth radio, which is more expensive that a QR code sticker. Idk if anyone uses it.
Having something like a WEP button would certainly be nice though.

Well that leaves me with mixed feelings.

Thread itself doesn’t need Internet connectivity, but thread seems to almost always be paired with matter, which does (during provisioning).

I like that matter provisioning requires verification of their certificate, but I don’t like that certificates can expire or the certificate authority can shut down. Although maybe that’s all taken care of by the DCL? In which case that’d be fine.
