Accept the L for the stinker about the first amendment. It was not a great post. Fine. You got flak for it, fine. End it there and you'll avoid spiraling further.
Or, you could spiral. Up to you.

Why shouldn't you? Because it will dig you a deeper and less defensible hole. It'll look like you *do* know this *is* about trans people, and now want to pivot to saying you can't be critiqued because look, you defended a trans person one time. That's a worse position to be in.

You, a guy who managed barely to put yourself one degree away from direct transphobia, have for the most part managed to catch heat directed at your use of a bad argument to defend a bad position. All you have to do is stop digging. Don't dig up your pro-trans bona fides when those aren't at issue.

I'm positive you aren't reading through these, which is fine, but if you followed Parker or liked Parker's material, it begs the question of why you thought you were going to get different treatment. If *I* said something transphobic, me *being trans* wouldn't actually save me from criticism.

Relax. You took an L, you're a public figure. People have taken bigger Ls than this on here and lived to tell the tale. It's not like you got put on leave over it or anything

The next time I answer "you're going to hell" when asked "what is the derivative of x^3" I'll be sure to recall that it's my first amendment right to pass. After all, the teacher wanted me to respond in English and I did. It's not my fault if I believe that calculation is a pact with a stellar demon

Can you think of any other scenario where a 0 on a busywork side assignment (your assertion) would plausibly get the grading teacher put on leave?

She even explicitly condemned any harm to Israeli kids, in fact, so if you want to fantasize about whether or not she engaged in blood libel in condemning harm to kids, that really ought to factor in somewhere

So you're offended by Ms. Rachel but couldn't articulate why

This is a thread predicated on the inclusion of Ms. Rachel saying "it's actually bad to kill kids. Killing kids is bad" and that sentiment being enough to land her on a list of antisemites. So, following from the thread, we must ask, is it antisemitism to believe that killing kids is bad?

Hello fellow adult womboids. I think I shall "go down't" to the women's restroom with this microscope to check that my gametes are relatively large. Care to join me in this female activity

I fear we're losing you to the sauce of my example here. Gratefully, you already pretty well agreed with my point two posts ago, so it's neither here nor there

If 9 people are having a conversation about Hiroshima and you chime in with "what about medical imaging," and those 9 people give the tenth a :| face, would you say "well it doesn't matter because it's a conversation about nuclear stuff"

You seem to already understand that this conversation has veered far from what anyone using the term "LLM" in common parlance is even talking about

Yes yes and you can use gzip for text classification, "AI" has been around since the 60s, but here we've hit a circle: The knowledge required to do this requires knowledge of the subject enough to feed it the right data, and anyone using it will need to confirm it with the source material anyway.
