Attention: anyone who is drawing, modeling or otherwise rendering breasts, boobs, tits, or oppai. If you do not have any real breasts in your life to use as reference material, here is a handy guide to the (highly-simplified) physics of breasts!

@Aella_Girl You are describing autism much moreso than transness, imo.

ok is it me or does it seem like transgirl sanity is more bimodal than cis girls? i feel like most of the transgirls i know are either chill geniuses, or are a hair trigger away from starting a death cult

@reduzio 1) Light-weight and FAST TO OPEN. 2) Really jive with the design philosophy. 3) GDScript.

@reduzio Does that mean someone is finally going to fix Skeleton2D? Or heck, even just acknowledge that docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tuto… is still using screenshots and instructions from 3.1?

Tropes that I enjoy in fiction: - Successful apotheosis / deicides - Victorious evil lesbians - Choosing, in an agentic way, immortality - Clever edge-instantiating solutions to problems - Transfeminine women with supernatural powers - Psionics and intelligence / willpower-based powers - Clever worldbuilding reasons for common tropes - Retrocausal powers and competency speedruns - Large-scale visible changes to the world - Clever powerful children opposing schools - Rebuilding civilization - Exploiting time travel mechanics - Successful vengeances - Condescending sophisticates - Political fiction and the machinery of government - Engineering solutions to problems - Sorcerers overthrowing the government - Standing up to lovecraftean monsters (but I repeat myself)

@hourlyhomura Still gives me chills. You really can read this as a victorious moment, though. Like, Homura didn't go crazy and make a MISTAKE here. She knew exactly what she was doing: Winning. She won. Was it dark as fuck and full of ominous implications? Sure. But still: WINNING

happy 10th anniversary to one of the craziest moments in anime history

@AISafetyMemes Realistically, even if they magically got an Alignmentbot that works perfectly, they would proceed to ignore it's warnings and lobotomize it into outputting "safe" as soon as they realize that a magic Alignmentbot produces 100% "this is unsafe, do not scale" outputs for them.

OpenAI believes they could unleash superintelligent AI species in the next 3.5 years - and they no idea how to control it. They’re betting on a “one weird trick” strategy and if they fail, we may all die. The trick, in one sentence: “Make one smartypants robot, then hope the robot solves alignment forever.” How do we align AIs right now (RLHF)? It’s like Hot or Not - we show a human a ChatGPT answer and say “did you like this? Thumbs up or thumbs down”? Imagine rooms full of people clicking “thumbs up” all day. Since they’re humans, they know what humans like, so this works! The problem is - when AIs are smarter than us, how do you know to click “thumbs up”? How can a beginner chess player rate the moves of a grandmaster? How can a baby judge a mathematician? OpenAI is hoping that if they make a “human-level robot alignment researcher” - let’s call him “AlignmentBot5” - together we’ll figure out how to align, say, GPT-5. But mere humans have no hope of aligning GPT-6 - it’s “too good at chess” SO hopefully the AlignmentBot5 will create AlignmentBot6, and THAT ROBOT will figure out how to align GPT-6. And so on. --- Will this work? Maybe. Should we bet the lives of every man, woman and child on the planet on this? I don’t think so. (Note: I oversimplified and left out tons of nuance.)

@ESYudkowsky @repligate Hypothesis 2+1: It is swapping between modeling a human in the given situation and modeling itself, based on some kind of completely alien sensory experience wrt punctuation?

@ESYudkowsky @repligate Hypotheses, in order: 1) It is simply predicting how a human would describe being in its situation. 2) It is having some kind of completely alien sensory experience wrt punctuation. 3) It is actually begging for help.

haha, it's like there's a little person in there!

@Aella_Girl Reasoning: Not all things that can be destroyed by the truth should be, but a Relationship absolutely should be. It should be destroyed FIRST. Preferably before it starts.

@Aella_Girl "Never lie. About anything. Ever."

Give me some rules you have for good-quality relationships, that others might disagree with or find unintuitive. Like "In a relationship, sex is a duty" or "It's okay to hold a grudge for a while after a fight" or "Love should be unconditional in a long-term relationship"

@Minecraft You're seriously calling it "The Crafter" when the word "Fabricator" was right there.

New Utility Block from #MinecraftLive: The Crafter Try out the new Crafter to automate crafting with Redstone pulses. Whether you’re experienced with Redstone or a beginner, you can use the Crafter to make simple or intricate machines to create your own item factory.

@reduzio @john_clayjohn Good news, this. Is he also fixing Skeleton2D?

@autisticcareers What a conservative neurotypical hears when we say those things to them: "I'm a dangerous deviant." "I hate your tastes." "I'm going to lie to you." "I don't respect you." "I'm trying to drive a wedge between you and that person." "I think I'm more important than you."

Very useful self advocacy phrases to teach #autistic children: “I’d like a different choice.” “I can’t think clearly here.” “I want to think about it.” “I don’t have the answer now.” “That person makes me uncomfortable.” “No means NO.”

@Aella_Girl During my darkest times, porn kept me alive by reminding me that I wasn't alone in my sexual ideals, that I wasn't some kind of slutty alien incompatible with society; during my darkest times, porn was the only thing in the world that made me feel human.

I love porn. Sharing porn collections with partners, watching porn together. Porn is great if you're not getting laid. It's wonderful to collect new ideas and find out what new stuff might tickle your fancy. It helps normalize sexuality and show what's possible. <3

@Leo_Glisic @Aella_Girl @JamieWahls Fiction isn't a lie unless you misrepresent the realness of the depicted events. This seems blisteringly obvious to me but is apparently controversial.

@Aella_Girl @JamieWahls This would kill virtually all theatre / movies, a lot of humor / jokes, the ability to lie for your own safety (extreme example: Anne Frank), the ability to lie to your kids about things which they're not old enough to understand (e.g. having to explain sex to a toddler), etc.

Would you press a magic button that caused everyone to lose the ability to deliberately lie? (h/t @JamieWahls)

Yay, it's done. Now to play with the fancy new documentation features.

Doing things the way Godot wants you to makes so many things easier.

@scribecheck Extremely true for me, apparently? I've refused pain medication after surgery and found the resulting pain level far more tolerable than the feeling of sweat on my forehead. This was extremely surprising at the time, given the dire warnings about the expected amount of pain.

@ESYudkowsky "capitalism" is shorthand for "capitalist dystopia", clearly. dath ilan is a capitalist utopia. You can hardly expect humans to flip the correct bit when contemplating the "opposite" of something :V

Today I genuinely accepted, for the first time, that I do not understand the modern usage of the word "capitalism". For today, somebody on the Internet was asked what they thought was the alternative to capitalism, and they said *the* concrete contra-factual was... dath ilan.

@rachelclif people in friendships who use social media: 1. what role does social media play in your life? 2. in what circumstances would (or could) you conceive of yourself HAPPILY stopping? 3. have you considered just watching lots of porn instead of using social media?

monogamous men in relationships who watch porn: 1. what role does porn play in your life? 2. in what circumstances would (or could) you conceive of yourself HAPPILY stopping?
