    1. i never claimed whether u double-checked or not.

    2. i know, but still i think its important not to make it seem like posting chatgpt responses without oversight is okay.

    if u normalize listening to ai hallucinations in any situation, people (especially tech-illiterate people) are going to replicate that behaviour in more important situations.



  • well sometimes u need to refer to ppl who have a vagina, because having a vagina is somehow relevant to the topic of conversation. which in my experience comes up very rarely, so i dont have to use it very often.

    some people who have vaginas arent women, and so if the topic includes those ppl, then “people with vaginas” is the perfect phrase to use. and if talking about ppl with vaginas who all identify as women, cis women is more fitting.

    “female” is a very vague way of referring to something. some ppl use it to describe gender identity, others use it to talk about ppl with vaginas, others again use it to refer to ppl with estrogen-dominant hormonal systems, etc. etc.





  • i mean, thats great! but the moneys gotta come from somewhere, and in most cases someone else is being exploited.

    most non-profits actually suffer from this issue where getting funding is the number one priority.

    the organization has to bend its methods to what will look good on paper vs what would actually be best for their cause



  • theres companies making money off of prison labor, if u want a not very subtle example. in the US, prisons are also for-profit institutions, making it even more insidious.

    then ur typical capitalist labor situation ofc. ur boss makes more off of their workers labor than their workers get paid. this “surplus value” is how bosses get richer than the ppl who work for them; all without having to do any actual work of their own.

    ow also landlords who rent housing to ppl for a price, often providing very little or even no maintenance at all for that building. this exploits peoples need of shelter for the landlords personal gain, as landlords squeeze as much money out of ppl as they can get away with (also for example, keeping security deposits for no good reason).
