@BeyondFuchsi Mein Beileid. Ich selbst wurde vorgestern von sechs Küchenkräutern überfallen als ich schnell Petersilie kaufen wollte.

**Giggle v Tickle**
Unfortunately, there are still no updates. We have been waiting for a decision for 7 months & just over 1 week. It is longer than the average case, which is a bit strange considering there is zero discovery to discover. It’s just… “do women still have rights or no?”
Everything about this has gone on as long as it possibly could. So, let’s look at the time line of the whole damn thing:
*ahem*
* December 2021 - Tickle filed the AHRC complaint.
* January 2022 - I received the AHRC complaint. It was a hell week. I was 14 weeks pregnant, in isolation with COVID, Giggle was under attack yet again from thousands of “gamer boys” wearing headsets & trying to access & leaving 1 star reviews claiming to be rejected black women (seriously). Business Insider ran a story about the app being racist (it wasn’t at all) & didn’t print my response/evidence. THEN I received the AHRC complaint. Looking back, I don’t know how I coped with that week.
* April 2022 - I officially said “no” to settling at the AHRC. To do so, I would have had to let Tickle onto the app, let all men who claim to be women onto the app, apologize, attend sex & gender education, pay him $20,000 & moderate content so men who claim to be women weren’t offended by anything women were saying. F—k no.
* June 2022 - Tickle filed in Federal Court.
* July 2022 - Tickle withdrew the case from Federal Court. It was a week before my daughter was born.
* August 2022 - Taking the whole situation as a win for standing my ground, we were moving forward with the app. It needed a lot of work & updates from 2.5 years of running. We didn’t have the budget to do the work while running it. We decided to take it offline & relaunch it on our own terms - finally! - a few months later, better than ever. Giggle 2.0.
* December 2022 - Tickle refiled in Federal Court before we could relaunch the app. I found out about it at 11am on NYE via an article in The Guardian. I hadn’t been served yet.
Because Tickle was refilling on the same AHRC complaint claim, he was technically “out of time”. There’s a 60 day time limit to file in court after AHRC complaints. He was now 6 months out of time, because he’d withdrawn. The court had to allow it through.
* April 2023 - First court hearing, arguing whether the case should go ahead.
* June 2023 - The Federal Court allows the case to go ahead. A year after he had withdrawn. Now, we were back to where we were in June 2022. An extra year had been added to the process. So when Tickle cries on the steps about how this has stolen time in his life, remember: he withdrew, he refilled. His actions added the extra time. I was ready to go in 2022.
* July 2023 - The AHRC applies to intervene as amicus curiae aka “friend of the court”. Specifically, it’s the sex discrimination commission applying to intervene. They have a right to be amicus, as the SDC is the custodian of the sex discrimination act. This case is entirely about the SDA.
A bit of irony: the sex discrimination commissioner applied to intervene to defend gender identity over sex in the sex discrimination act. I’m the one defending sex.
* April 2024 - Tickle v Giggle hearing in federal court over 3 days. Tickle sat with the SDC, not his legal team. The SDC argued that being a woman comes down to a thought in one’s mind. Tickle’s barrister called me “Ms Tickle” and him “he” many times during X-examination. She routinely had to correct herself. She tried to established that I had sold hundreds of thousands worth of novelty candles featuring a meme of Tickle on it. I had nothing to do with the candle. When she demanded I look at picture of the candle, I laughed at it for maybe 3 seconds. I apologized immediately. She yelled at me. It was completely bizarre. She asked if I thought it was unkind to not call him “Ms Tickle”. I said it was unkind to force someone to accept a man as a woman.

@KattaTheLemur Falls das X-Passwort für andere Logins wiederverwendet wurde, sollten diese Logins sofort geändert werden.
Auf MFA hat schon jemand anders hingewiesen. Lästig, aber sicherer als Name + Passwort.

@KattaTheLemur Früher konnte man mal Änderungen des Twitter-Handles abfragen. Auch wenn das jetzt nicht mehr zu gehen scheint, kann der X-Support wahrscheinlich die Historie sehen und helfen (wenn sie wollen).

@Drehspiess @AntiTypisch Im Einzelfall kann das schon sein. Aber erst unverbindlich kennenlernen statt sofort mit der Tür ins Haus zu fallen funktioniert normalerweise besser.

@procprac @AntiTypisch Och, das geht durchaus. Warum auch umständlich?

In 1901, a woman solved the biggest problem in electrical engineering. But the Royal Society wouldn't let her present her own paper. A man read her words while she sat in silence. Then they rejected her as a Fellow because she was married. Then she invented a device that saved soldiers choking on poison gas in WWI. The War Office laughed at her. Then they ordered 104,000 of them. Her name was Hertha Ayrton. She held 26 patents. She was the first woman in the IEE. And most people have never heard her name....

@minzlicht The question shouldn't be "AI moralization bad. Why do these feeling-driven people still do it?" but: "How can we integrate AI in a society that values human connection and development and provides people with interesting living-wage jobs?"
English

@minzlicht I understand that the loss of personal contact and of opportunity for intellectual development (because of corporate time pressure) leads people to morally oppose AI, especially if they don't understand it. The fear of being replaced is another reason to oppose AI.

Ask a colleague why they refuse to use AI. They say it uses up all that water. You point out the water use is far smaller than some would have them believe. Then it's the hallucinations. You mention accuracy has improved dramatically. Then, finally: the process is the point. The struggle. The craft. The deeply human act of sitting with uncertainty.
They're not reasoning. They're rationalizing their gut intuitions. My amazing student @vicoldemburgo, with Éloïse Côté, Reem Ayad, @yorl, Jason Plaks and I have a new preprint that explores this more thoroughly, called "The Moralization of Artificial Intelligence".
We started by asking how moralized AI has become in public discourse. Analyzing 69,890 news headlines from 2018 to 2024, we found that AI was moralized at levels comparable to GMOs and vaccines, technologies whose moral opposition has been studied for decades. It ranked above both. The sharpest spike came within weeks of ChatGPT's launch in late 2022.
When we surveyed representative samples of Americans, a majority of AI opponents said their views wouldn't change even if AI proved safe and beneficial. That's consequence insensitivity, the hallmark of moral conviction, not practical calculation. Across art, chatbots, legal tools, and romantic companions, AI moralization loaded onto a single latent factor. A global moral stance, dressed up in whatever practical language is available.
The behavioral data make this concrete: a one standard deviation increase in moralization scores predicted a 42% drop in actual AI usage, even when it would have benefited that person personally. The conviction preceded the behavior by up to 573 days.
The next time someone gives you three different reasons to oppose AI, each one dissolving under mild scrutiny, you're probably not watching someone think. You're watching someone feel.
