  • Also anyone who spread Kamala hate in 2024 was part of the controlled opposition engine. I'm not saying they're shills, I'm saying they're dumb enough to be conned into going along with the Democrats' evil plans without even being paid.

  • The democrats are losing on purpose so they can keep fundraising instead of having to actually govern.

    Fuck those assholes. I'm gonna vote for them in the midterms so they get less money and have to do their jobs instead. They'll hate that.

  • Their stage where if you're good enough at appealing to centrists, they'll just ban you or lower your post visibility. Their stage where the algorithm can be manipulated to show centrists only your worst posts.

    Their stage that dies if enough sensible movers leave that the sheep see only vileness from evil movers.

  • But we'll still need to switch to communism before we hit a few trillion in population.

    But your framing of the issue, and the post, miss one of the key points of the infinite growth paradox - the productive capacity of the human workforce is also limited. And we're beginning to hit that limit. 100 years ago, the average household worked 40 hours a week at a factory with a wife at home to do chores. Today, the average household works 80 hours a week at an office and does chores on weekends. Where is all that extra labour value going? Into the pockets of billionaires. And every year, the billionaires expect more profits than the year before.

    Everyone is burnt out and most people will never own a house. We're approaching the limit of what workers can give to Capital. The system will assuredly fall when we hit the absolute of that limit, and Capital is trying to get AGI running before then so that capitalism doesn't have to end when that limit is reached.

  • Of course people can be tricked, and that's why I don't trust Shinigami Eyes. If a critical mass of people are tricked, then Shinigami Eyes helps with tricking everyone else.

  • a whisper network is most commonly when (usually) women inform each other about men who are sexual predators, (usually) in workplaces.

    Oh, that makes sense then. I've only ever heard the term within the trans community, and most of the trans people I know (myself included) are t4t and gay. I don't know what the cishet people are up to. In the trans community, whisper networks are for well-connected abusers to DARVO their less popular victims. The victim has no opportunity to respond to the accusations and may not even know about them until all their friends have cut contact.

    And that's one of the issues cited by Norway's data protection authority with Shinigami Eyes:

    It is Datatilsynet’s view that to be marked through Shinigami Eyes may entail negative consequences for the data subject, regardless of whether they are marked as being pro- or anti-trans. Being marked as anti-trans could cause one to lose their job, or friendships, and the individual could be the target of hate and mistreatment. Being pro-trans could, in certain communities (for example religious or very conservative communities), be construed as negative as well, similar reactions as described above could be imposed on the data subject. The negative impact must be viewed as particularly intensive, in light of the individualised nature of the marking, in addition to the data subject not having information about the marking nor understanding why they received such a marking. It is therefore also in particular difficult for the data subject to present an opposing view. This could also entail fear, irritation and other broader emotional impacts, which, according to the WP29, must be taken into account in this balancing act.

    [...]

    In addition, it must be taken into account that since the processing is occurring without the appropriate information being provided to the data subjects, the data subject is prevented from exercising their right to object in accordance with GDPR Article 21. The lack of adequate information being provided to the data subject will be further examined below in its own section.

    Personally, I agree with this legal decision. The final verdict from the data protection authority is that the legitimate interest of trans people to be warned of transphobia by an app, which is easier than using their own judgement, does not outweigh subjects' right to safety from profiling and their right to object. Who decides whether a user's submission is added to the bloom filter? A machine learning heuristic and an unknown, unidentified group of people who the Norwegian government was unable to track down. There is no accountability.

  • I have only ever heard the term "whisper network" said in the context of bullying, typically of trans women. I just googled it, and apparently some people see whisper networks as positive? I'm stunned, it's like hearing someone say conspiracies are a useful tool for abuse victims.

    Personally, I believe in open discussion in which both sides are considered impartially by bystanders. This still has the flaw of favouring stronger rhetoricians, but at least it doesn't privilege people with social connections over people who are isolated. Which is what whisper networks do. And is why pedophiles love to work as priests and other community pillars.

  • Shinigami Eyes is weird, because in Death Note, the Shinigami Eyes are a magical bargain in which you give up half of your remaining lifespan to be able to see people's deadnames. The manga is explicit about the fact that the Death Note only accepts names assigned at birth. Light wants to use the Death Note to kill L, but he doesn't know L's deadname, only his identified name, so he can't. So Ryuk offers to make a deal and give him deadname vision.

    Also I think intra-community harassment and lateral violence are serious enough issues that crowdsourced shunning is a horribly destructive technology with the potential to ruin lives. Take for example the case of Isabel Fall. She wrote a short story about the US military manipulating people's genders through brainwashing to turn them into living weapons. Because of its provocative title, a lot of people assumed she was mocking trans people and harassed her. Turns out, she was a newly out trans woman publishing queer science fiction as her first experiment into living publicly as herself. It went horribly, she decided to detransition over the harassment. She decided that the world has spoken; she's not allowed to be a woman.

    Shinigami Eyes seems to me like a recipe for replicating that situation a hundred times over. People are bad at telling whether other people are transphobes, and I don't trust them to do it right.

  • If he does have NPD, then we're back to the issue that the general population needs to start referring to mental disorders with respectful and empathetic language, because this creates a culture of tolerance that will be visible to other people with the disorder.
