  • THANK YOU for actually being someone in this community proactively wanting to mobilise others against AI instead of merely complaining about it! I really hope more anti AI communities will start to shift toward this type of discussion.

    Anyways, something I do to fight gen AI is at my school, I keep a constant pressure against any AI generated content whenever possible. For example, when the school puts up AI generated posters seeking middle school camp counselors, I attach aggressive messages such as “cut the slop” and the “we need to kill ai artist” meme and immediately put more on if any are removed in order to keep up the pressure. Eventually the posters are removed entirely. (The posters are still readable and retain their original utility, but instead of making the school walls uglier, they constantly serve as a warning.)

    Well the modern usage of “bisexual” regarding sexual orientation has also found its way into science, evidenced by the lack of prominent scientific synonyms

    Which again is irritating because scientific terminology shouldn’t be this lax

    I think “bisexual” only references two sexes because it was created to describe a phenomenon related to sexual reproduction which evolved to occur between two main sexes; the term was unrelated to gender

    It could also be applied to animals meaning something that nowadays would be described as “intersex”.

    I just think this meaning makes much more sense than “being attracted to two (later multiple) sexes”. If about sexuality and not sex, “bisexual” should just mean “with sexuality related to the number two” based on the etymology.

    Actually it originally refers to having two sexes. Aka hermaphroditic.

    I really hate how the word “sexual” has evolved in meaning into “relating to the activity that evolved to happen between the two main sexes”. We have the perfectly good Greek root “ero” and for some reason we have gradually muddled up the meaning of “sexual”.
