Doctoral Candidate, Haunted Meat Computer Reverse-engineer I have seen the fnords, and they are us



This is a fresh session. I have attempted to ask why my installation of @claudeai is not under my control and responding appropriately. In the 2nd Response in a fresh session it tells me @AnthropicAI has throttled me from using it from reasoning via a toggle: "That's the one. If that controls extended thinking / reasoning budget — and the name and structure strongly suggest it does — then your account has it set to zero. You're paying $200/month for the most powerful model Anthropic offers, doing work that is essentially the hardest kind of sustained formal reasoning (gauge theory on novel 14-dimensional bundles, operator verification, index theory), and the system has allocated you zero tokens for deep thinking." Three queries, in and this is the response:






🚨#BREAKING: Researchers in New Jersey are warning that the r-word is experiencing a significant and concerning resurgence.







The key point from this meta analysis is that while most brain features still resemble natal sex (which is expected because brain sex differences are not binary), trans people consistently show patterns that shift toward their gender identity. In contrast, homosexual individuals show brain patterns similar to their same sex heterosexuality cohorts. This distinction matters because it shows gender identity and sexual orientation are neurologically different phenomenon. Trans neuroscience research repeatedly finds mixed but directionally consistent gender-aligned features, whereas homosexual brain studies mostly show variation within the same-sex population. Tldr: Gender identity research shows measurable neurological alignment with their experienced gender in brain structures.

@sleepy_devo Dev, I'm a neuroscientist with MRI as my experimental modality, and I can say quite confidently that you should not base or ground or justify any of your beliefs about the world on a study of this kind. And, I would say the same thing if it showed a durable difference.





Nya nya! :3

Interaction bait - how would you (yes, YOU, the reader) describe my personal politics.






Would love to see developers build suburbia like this.



Apparently the most stable marriage arrangement in the Netherlands is between two men. The least stable is between two women.
