Let me break this down real simple.

Everyone likes boobies. Literally all humans, even gay men and straight women, find them asthetically pleasing

The women bouncing around are complaining about their shirts. They don’t feel pretty, they feel creeped out

Don’t fucking drive them out… Are you insane? Let them pick their own shirts. They’re still going to want to look pretty. Stop making it weird

All you need to do is give them autonomy. That’s it. That would make it positive for everyone involved

But that’s exactly what’s happening here. The women in question are saying “I’m uncomfortable”

So now we don’t go “okay, but just make sure you stay fun to look at”

What we do is say “that’s not good, let’s give you agency over the situation so you can show off what you’re comfortable with”

The men just move around less, their plays are tighter and more rehearsed looking, but I just don’t find that very interesting. I don’t really care if you can perfectly spike the ball to the optimal place every time and they can recover and do the same until someone messes up the sequence

But women’s volleyball is full of movement. It doesn’t look rehearsed, the teams look coordinated. They’ll pass the ball around while they prepare and then suddenly surge towards the net for a spike/to block the spike

The intensity ebbs and flows, and it’s unpredictable when it’s going to happen

Most women enjoy being beautiful, and there is no downside so long as people aren’t taking it to crazy lengths.

When the women you’re looking at are saying “I’m uncomfortable with this”, you’ve taken it too far

It’s not that hard buddy. They’re people, they can talk

I like women’s volleyball. It’s genuinely better than men’s, it’s way more dynamic

I’m not going to lie about how my friends convinced me to go initially, but it’s one of the few sports I actually find interesting to watch

Because it’s a farm subsidy.

You thought it was about starving people? Fuck no, that’s basically coincidental, it’s for the farmers! You know how they get when they don’t get endless subsidies

Then don’t get Galaxy scale with it, I wasn’t. This has nothing to do with evolution, that’s a myth of capitalism. Capitalism developed organically, not naturally… There’s a huge difference

Throw 50 people into an empty resort for a week with nothing to do. What happens? They play games, they cook together, they go on hikes together, they start projects, they separate and return to the group as needed

This isn’t a hypothetical. Have you never experienced the natural human state? No multi day reunions or weddings? Or living on campus at University? Just any situation where money isn’t really involved and everyone is around with lots of free time

Of course. Because we’re social creatures, that’s our natural state

Most of humanity’s problems exist not because they’re inherent, it’s because for 1000 generations we’ve been building up self-reinforcing social structures that have entered the end stage. Where everything is squeezed for profit and the real value of it is drained away

We like to do things together. We’re wired for it. With unlimited time and resources, why would we not live near and visit our favorite people? Why would we not explore the world around us? Why would we not work to make life nicer? Why would we not reach out to others who fall through the cracks and find themselves isolated?

Yeah, but that would be like launching a nuke. The whole world is dependent on TSMC for like… All of modern life

Luxury space communism is what they have in Star Trek.

You can make anything with no human labor, so why shouldn’t everyone have access to whatever luxuries they want? Obviously there are practical limits for the common good, like everyone can’t have a yacht, there’s not room and it’d destroy the oceans. But everyone could share a fleet of yachts

Instead, people work for social status, and because humans just like working

What I’m referring to is what if we mastered automation and shared the fruits of robotic labor freely? When machines can build and maintain themselves outside of the gravity well with no human involvement, we’d have an exponentially scaling pool of workers and basically infinite raw materials

Then we’d be free to do the jobs we want to do, not what has to be done or what has a high work to reward ratio

Tomorrow the Epstein files will be released, 70% of all politicians and most billionaires will be arrested for pedophilia, and we will come together as one to build luxury space communism

Don’t wake me up.

China seems to be closest though, if they reach viable modern CPUs first…

But realistically, I think China made a deal with the West to hold off on Taiwan until we have at least one modern chip fab working in the US and Europe

Yeah, that’s what I mean

Doesn’t matter if China’s chips are economically viable if they’re the only ones making advanced chips…

And even then, it’ll need to be commerically viable to compete with the West.

Well, unless they invaded Taiwan…

What the shit??? Fucking team Cherry, they always hit you out of nowhere…

I don’t think you understand what doing code reviews is like.

So someone submits terrible code. You don’t get to just say “this is bad code” and reject it wholesale, you have to explain in exhaustive detail what the problems are. Doing otherwise leads to really toxic environments. It’s killed countless projects

That’s why you write rules. You don’t have to argue if they need tests or not, you tap the sign and reject it without actually reviewing it if it doesn’t meet the requirement

Same thing here. You open up vibe coded nonsense so you tap the sign and reject it without bothering to review it. Do the same thing with “bad code” as a reason and it starts insane drama.

People are really sensitive about their code, and there’s a whole methodology around how to do without ending up in a screaming match

Well I was just arguing that people generally are using AI irresponsibly, but if you want to get specific…

You say ban the users, but realistically how are they determining that? The only way to reliably check if something is AI is human intuition. There’s no tool to do that, it’s a real problem

So effectively, they made it an offense to submit AI slop. Because if you just use AI properly as a resource, no one would be able to tell

So what are you upset about?

They did basically what you suggested, they just did it by making a rule so that they can have a reason to reject slop without spending too much time justifying the rejection

People have already died to AI. It’s cute when the AI tells you to put glue on your pizza or asks you to leave your wife, it’s not so cute when architects and doctors use it

Bad information can be deadly. And if you rely too hard on AI, your cognitive abilities drop. It’s a simple mental shortcut that works on almost everything

It’s only been like 18 months, and already it’s become very apparent a lot of people can’t be trusted with it. Blame and punish those people all you want, it’ll just keep happening. Humans love their mental shortcuts

Realistically, I think we should just make it illegal to have customer facing LLMs as a service. You want an AI? Set it up yourself. It’s not hard, but realizing it’s just a file on your computer would do a lot to demystify it

We do this all the time. I’m certified for a whole bunch of heavy machinery, if I were worse people would’ve died

And even then, I’ve nearly killed someone. I haven’t, but on a couple occasions I’ve come way too close

It’s good that I went through training. Sometimes, it’s better to restrict who is able to use powerful tools

Okay, that’s pretty fair. You seem to understand the tool properly

I’d argue that version control is not the correct layer to evaluate output, but it is a tool that can be used in many different ways…I don’t think that’s a great workflow, but I can conceive situations where that’s viable enough

If I were handing out authorizations to use AI, you’d get it
