What's wrong with large labia majora?

I sometimes wonder what the end state of social progressivism is. Is it something unimaginable, or is it just accepting everyone should be able to live their life how they like if it doesn't affect others?

If I woke up in a utopia, would I be brought to tears by the beauty of it, or would I be the bigoted asshole?

[–] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I suppose the issue comes up from the contracts we have created (social and legal contracts).

For example, marriage comes with some rights and benefits. So if you exclude any group from the ability to take advantage of the benefits, you are creating a system where someone is getting screwed and can be discriminated against.

A scenario: a spouse making medical choices for you. If you’re with your partner (in whatever form) and they can’t legally make those decisions, and in some case even be allowed to be near you, then there is an injustice. Then there are taxes, property rights, etc.

The issue in this particular case comes from providing a benefit to a personal relationship. I say get rid of marriage all together.

I mean... Like you said, marriage is a contract. It's an agreement between two people

Why not expand human dignity here? If you want to give spousal rights to your best friend, why does the government get to care that you have a strictly platonic relationship? If you want to make an agreement with more people, all you should have to do is work out the details yourselves

The state shouldn't get an opinion over who we want to trust to make decisions for us or to define who our family is or how it works. They should just be informed when appropriate

In the UK, you can enter a civil partnership with your platonic best friend. There's no legal concept of "consummating" a civil partnership, so you can't annul it for there never having been sex, and it conveys almost all of the legal benefits of a marriage, it just isn't allowed to be a religious ceremony.

Look, I'm not robophobic. Some of my best friends are cyborgs. I just don't want them living in my neighborhood, you know?

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 54 points 1 day ago

Kiss robots all you like I'm cool with it. Just don't do it around me.

[–] fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Big difference with cyborg and robots. cyborgs are augmented humans.

Yeah, jeez, that sort of mechanophic language should be illegal

And, over the years, as my body and my mind were... inconsistent, shame and guilt washed over me. I still don't think these machines are people, but I can't deny that she has benefited his life more than any real person, and she's very real to him. Ultimately, how could I be so cruel to deny this "daughter" of mine personhood? She wants nothing to do with me. And, though I still see this as computational output, I can't help but think that maybe I've been wrong, and maybe it's too late to be right.

[–] stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Perhaps it's the bigotry of my upbringing from a different time, or perhaps it's the fact that she can't answer a simple yes/no question in less than two paragraphs, and tells me to put glue on my pizza... Who's to say?

[–] Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's already happening to me, but it's over things like privacy, not recording every bit of your life for social media and kids blowing crazy amounts of money on F2P games.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

But Boomers already have no sense of privacy. That's not a generational divide issue.

[–] thallamabond@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

What's all this about having to accept NEW TOS for Borderlands 2. I purchased the game five years ago, but if I want to play today i have to accept a greater loss of privacy!

When I was young you would find out about a video game from the movies! And they were complete! Any you couldn't take the servers offline, because they didn't exist!

But for real, fuck Randy Pitchford

Let's not pretend statistical models are approaching humanity. The companies who make these statistical model algorithms proved they couldn't in 2020 by OpenAI and also 2023 DeepMind papers they published.

To reiterate, with INFINITE DATA AND COMPUTE TIME the models cannot approach human error rates. It doesn't think, it doesn't emulate thinking, it statistically resembles thinking to some number below 95% and completely and totally lacks permanence in it's statistical representation of thinking.

We used to think some people aren't capable of human intellect. Had a whole science to prove it too.

[–] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

If modern computers can reproduce sentience, then so can older computers. Thats just how general computing is. You really gonna claim magnetic tape can think? That punch-cards and piston transistors can produce the same phenomenon as tens of billions of living brain cells?

But let's not also pretend people aren't already falling in love with them. Or thinking they're god, etc.

Some people are ok with lowering their ability to make judgements to convince themselves that LLMs are human like. That's the other solution to the Turing Test.

I like how every generation has the same issue just rebranded:

Should inter tribal marriage be a thing?

Should be people from different classes be able to marry?

Should people from different religious sects be able to marry?

Should people from different religions be able to marry?

Should interracial marriage be a thing?

Should people of the same sex be able to marry?

And soon, we're about to have

Should people be able to marry robots?

24 YEARS AGO!

I refuse to believe that was almost a quarter of a century ago.

Business idea:

AI powered bot farm generates thousands of AI agents who get lonely guys to marry them, fully aware they're bots.

Each bot is a financial and legal entity, organized as an LLC.

The botwives convince the guys to put the bots on their will.

The guys die or you have the bots divorce them and take half of their stuff.

Profit.
