As LLM are choosen to act in favor of their respective user only, this would encourage all dealings to be maximally malicious in a race to the bottom. And using LLM will become necessary for no (or even negative) utility compared to when no LLM existed.
This sounds somewhat convincing to me, but appart from some "magical" human touch, whatever stopped humans from being maximally malicious so far could very well also apply to our LLM? Couldn't we see some kind of reputation system emerge to be wary of agents working for humans known to employ unusually "malicious" agent?
I'm hoping to learn some new perspective here. -

Why else would he keep it up after her death. In fact there were both possible outcome : voldemort though that snape reverted to racist after her death, while dumbledore trusted that snape had changed. The story showed dumbledore right.
He does still tend to be genuinely abusive because old habit die hard, and abuse isn't only done by racist. But I think you're being unfair to snape when you make him a racist for playing the role of a racist in order to help the good guys.Now, i have to remind myself that snape is a fictional caracter who doesn't need me to defend him...
From a litterary perspective, yeah, it's a kids book and doesn't deserve all the praise. I do think the age appropriate theme progression with harry's age are well done. Never read hunger game, didn't enjoy the movie, way too many tropes...

Slight pushback on the voldemort is a man in the girl bayhroom hurting girls, i think it's mostly a coincidence that it parralleles so well with anti-trans talking point... I mean harry and ron spend plenty of time in that bathroom as well...

I really like that the bad guy could flip to good. And through the power of love (unrequited and obsessive, sure, but solid enough to motivate him decades after her death, he didn't revert back to nazi). It's kind of a redemption story.
And i really didn't expect it when it was revealed, so I guess the whiplash made me like him more. -

Many people do, out of necessity, even in the US.
So really you feel like you cann't live without the convenience of a car, but you could.
You could move closer to your work, use a bike or bus and rent a car for those exception where you cann't easely do without.but there are no bike lanes, or reliable bus network
Then lobby for one. But if you don't feel scared shitless everyday with your bike on the road, you probably won't be able to summon enough motivation to do so. Democracies's weak spot is that they tend to react to needs instead of anticipating them. Until enough people NEED to take the bus or the bike lane, none will be built.
So really you can live without a car, with some inconveniences, just like with consuming HP.
Just to be clear, my point is that you should do without both!
Ineffective rant over. -

Maybe then a weekly topic were we collectively discuss and build concensus on what message we should use and for which topics.
Then the first one on the scene can copy paste the adequate message and we only vote it up if its the genuine agreed upon message.If concessus builds toward a right wing troll message, then tildes has allready been lost anyway...
I just really like the idea of self imposed norms from the community.

I would rather this wasn't automated. First one on the scene posts it, then everyone votes it to the top.
This would give us some kind of positive tradition distinguishing us from other forum, and something to work together to maintain, and it doesn't require any work from deimos who i assume has a life too...
Plus it sounds like the sort of super woke shit that could keep away the ultra far right but in practice be reasonable enough that reasonable right wing could get behind.

Couldn't we have some kind of banner reading something like:jkr author of HP, considers royalties as support for her deeply troubling activism. Would you like to know more?
On any thread with the harry potter tag?
Or just posted by someone on the thread and vote boosted to the top.
This would make sure there is a slight itch (which really shouldn't go away), and also an easy mitigating solution is implied (piracy). -

he(edit) she said it, I do agree with DefinitelyNotAFae that my kid might not turn out how I expect, so I should be ready to love them no matter what. I'm not sure it was said with good intention, but the advice is sound. but yeah, passing judgement on who should get to have kids is a very touchy subject (rightfully so). -

There's no debate, just bigotry. And indulging the idea there is one just buys into the underlying premise. Especially given the comparisons you're making here.
you don't control my decisions nor my assumptions.
I do hope, as you mentioned, you work through any subconscious bigotry/implicit bias you may find you have and I wish you luck with that.
I recognise you didn't blatently call me a bigot, and I probably wouldn't have reacted so badly if not for the "don't have kids" comment which gave me a knee jerk reaction for personal reasons.

I could be...I meant about exposing oneself to bigotry, discrimination, or even just misunderstandings... (but comments here seem to point to that I may have overestimated those things?). I could be bodyswapped right now into either sex, or an asexual robot, whatever, and I think i'd just behave however is expected of me within reason, because it is easy to go with the flow. and I intellectually understand that trans people have a strong affinity for behaving one gender, I just can't "emotionnaly" understand how they could have such a strong affinity... it doesn't compute (to me). Just like I abstractly know some people really care about realityTV but i can't emulate their though process. I guess reading about all your explanation of it should probably help, so thank you for taking the time.
but, as I said, full understanding isn't required. I don't need to understand why you'd rather use one particular set of pronouns to know to use that set when the need comes up.

You haven't addressed the point though. Biological men are obviously stronger than biological women ( I looked into it since last comment and it's indeed more complicated than just having more SRY, otherwise you'd expect XYY to dominate in men sport) but however it works, there is something giving an advantage, why deny that? And how can you think just 2 years of hormones is enough to negate that advantage?no.
So you can just imply i'm bigoted and not even point out what you're talking about. Nice!

Sounds like a pretty good solution to me. (With some edge case about defining who is eligible to be part of the committee, and also plenty of woman are not very trans friendly, but seems workable.) Thank you.
Now when there are medals and glory to be had, it really is a competition, not some "spirit of camaraderie" but whatever. Your solution still sounds good.
to add to that, pilots don't actually do very much piloting anymore.
and the other example, nurse, was very funny to me. I love all nurses but I really wouldn't rate their accuracy as anywhere close to 99%. We just don't advertise that to the patient, it would scare them off...
