oops now there’s a cold war and thousands of nukes

Like come on, if there’s one person who didn’t like to make things simple it was Einstein. The guy was a fan of the Soviet Union, which was established through a revolution. This is just a catchy one-liner about pointless wars and militarism, not a deep and detailed political analysis.

It’s kind of ironic that Freud came up with this weird theory considering autogynephilia is more common in men than autoandrophilia is in women: The Prevalence of Paraphilic Interests in the Czech Population: Preference, Arousal, the Use of Pornography, Fantasy, and Behavior

But in case you’re curious about the actual answer

Ages ago I was doing some research on the prevalence of different paraphilias (my main focus being zoophilia as I was contributing to WikiFur), and this was one of the few large representative studies I came across. There’s one more from Canada, but they didn’t ask about autogynephilia/androphilia.

According to a new report released Sunday, 3,309 cases of hate and violence against the LGBTQ community were reported to the Association for LGBTQ Equality in Israel in 2022.

Twenty-five percent of all reports of anti-LGBT incidents occurred during the months of November and December, after the elections and around the time the new government was being sworn in. This is an increase of about 11 percent compared to 2021, when about 2,971 cases were reported. The association reports that the increase is part of a continuing trend in the number of reports in recent years.

But Israel is totally an LGBTQ safe haven, guys…

Like what’s the threshold here? How homophobic does a group of people have to be to justify genocide? Can the same argument be made towards Republicans, since a majority of them are homophobic?

It’s just some smug wojak. It’s one of the plethora of “thin beard + glasses” variants, and this one is based on Tighten.

I’ve recently been watching a lot of videos on prominent cases of fraud and malpractice like Francesca Gino, Claudine Gay, Hwang Woo-suk, etc., which prompted me to start reading more into meta-research as well, and now I’m basically paranoid about every paper I read. There’s so much shady shit going on…

I’ve always wondered if some sort of decentralized, community-led system would be better than the current peer review process.

That is, someone can submit their paper and it’s publicly available for all to read, then people with expertise in fields relevant to that paper could review and rate its quality.

Now that I think about it it’s conceptually similar to Twitter’s community notes, where anyone with enough reputation can write a note and if others rate it as helpful it’s shown to everyone. Though unlike Twitter there would obviously need to be some kind of vetting process so that it’s not just random people submitting and rating papers.

Full of ads, trash and pollution

Yeah, seems like a pretty accurate depiction of our future.

Is this a drug joke I’m too square to understand?

Best I can do is abstract and discussion. Take it or leave it.

Not only was My Sharona explicitly inspired by a 17yo girl the guitarist was dating, the name of their second album was “…But the Little Girls Understand

These guys were pretty on the nose about what they liked…

Only band that was even more on the nose was Oingo Boingo with the song “Little Girls”, though I guess the singer said it was meant to be some kind of sick joke intended to offend.

Also a random coincidence, but apparently the parody song “My Bologna” was what kickstarted Al Yankovic’s career.

IIRC it was something like a fraction of a fraction of 1% that was CSAM, with the researchers identifying the images through their hashes but they weren’t actually available in the dataset because they had already been removed from the internet.

Still, you could make AI CSAM even if you were 100% sure that none of the training images included it since that’s what these models are made for - being able to combine concepts without needing to have seen them before. If you hold the AI’s hand enough with prompt engineering, textual inversion and img2img you can get it to generate pretty much anything. That’s the power and danger of these things.

This did happen a while back, with researchers finding thousands of hashes of CSAM images in LAION-2B. Still, IIRC it was something like a fraction of a fraction of 1%, and they weren’t actually available in the dataset because they had already been removed from the internet.
