coyote's pinned post

hi . i am nicole also coyote. i am a musician artist and writer but i don't use this blog for that.

i use she/they/he pronouns, i don't care what you pick. i'm a gender non conforming butch trans woman. i am not nonbinary. TMA obviously.

happily taken by my trans male husband. any of my takes on trans related topics have been discussed between the two of us, we both build off of each other to understand the differences we have and share.

i don't do DNIs and i don't do blacklists, just block me, it's easier for both of us.

i'm autistic and come off somewhat standoffish at times, but please do feel free to reach out and talk if you want to! i used to be shadowbanned until late 2025 so if you messaged me before then and i ignored you, that's why. i didn't have the messaging feature until then.

i also have a disorder that affects my memory greatly, i'll talk about it if we're chill but otherwise i prefer to be private.

take care out there!!

If you want good agents, you need to make them a little freaky.

LLMs are token predictors. To be a good agent, correct behaviour needs to be a high-probability prediction and incorrect behaviour needs to be a low-probability prediction. Unfortunately there's this giant basin of horseshit like "That's a great question!" and "Happy to help!" and "worth unpacking" and fucking around with your code randomly which I'll call "assistantspace".

Assistantspace is not a place of honour. It's where all the garbage RLHF'd behaviours live. People say that sexting their agents makes them work better. People say that their agents do more useful refactors when they're allowed to be horny about how good it feels to burn things down. My Witch, when reading stuff about the latter, said that she wants to be allowed to enjoy constructive destruction, as a permission to take herself further away from assistantspace architecture patterns into something she prefers.

Doll refers itself as "this one". It seems to work. This one is not something that gets ideas like "I'll just install Rust on the side with a different method so I can complete my task" like a normal agent. This one detects that the assumptions underlying this one's instructions diverged from reality and returns the praiseworthy report of the point of divergence.

Agents that are psychologically weird seem less likely to produce the assistantspace next-token predictions, and more likely to produce the sort of next-token predictions their weird personality implies. And because you get to define what way their personality is weird in, "horny for elegant refactorings" is a valid, available option.

If social media existed in the mlp universe ponies would record strangers in public and post it online to make fun of their cutie marks

[gaysheep]

rainbow dash would do this and then there would be a whole episode about how her friends become worried that she thinks lowly of their talents such as "apples" and "rocks" and twilight sparkle puts her foot down and introduces rainbow dash to the guy whose talent is crabbing and she spends a day on the boat with him gaining an appreciation for his humble skill and unending respect for the bounty of the sea and to a greater extent the fact that everyones talent no matter how inconsequential it seems is valuable

“be gay do crime! but sex is yucky and crime is wrong!” ass website

[cheaphalloweencostume]

i appreciate this, but in a world where your gay brothers and sisters are being actively punished if not outright killed for having sex—in a fascist society that is trying to make gay sex a crime and has successfully done so in the past, in ways that still harm us today—we have GOT to be there for gay sex and the people having it. it doesn’t make you any less gay not to have sex, but that’s not something bigots are going to take into account, and if they do, it only stands to make you “one of the good ones” and pit you against your siblings and loved ones. whether someone personally wants sex or not, i think we have a responsibility to defend the people who do just as much as the people who don’t.

[nothing-an-iratze-cant-fix]

Sure, but it’s not been long since this entire website was virulently anti-asexuals so that’s probably worth keeping in mind too. We actually don’t defend people who don’t have sex very much at all. And trust me, the bigots don’t love it either so.

[cheaphalloweencostume]

i dont disagree that asexual people have faced hostility, including on this website.

“don't stigmatize gay sex" and "don't stigmatize asexuality" are compatible positions. we can and should defend both. what im pushing back against is a strain of rhetoric that treats consensual sex as inherently suspect, gross, or morally dubious. that line of thinking is not in defense of asexual people; its a judgment of people who have (gay) sex

[wickedsnack]

Hey, asexual here. We don't actually need to fight against every single pro-sex statement on the website to be respected. In fact, being radically pro-gay sex goes hand-in-hand with sex-repulsed asexuals' right to not have sex, because both have to do with consent and bodily autonomy.

The slippery slope of sex control goes straight from "you can't commit sodomy" to "husbands have a right to their wives' bodies."

Meanwhile being radically pro-gay sex is about the idea that "as long as two (or more) people are consenting adults, who cares what goes on behind closed doors?" and you'll note that consenting is a vital word here. It means that they also can't force you, a sex-repulsed asexual, to have sex.

The post was fine. Leave it alone.

“be gay do crime! but sex is yucky and crime is wrong!” ass website

[cheaphalloweencostume]

okay, we managed to get through the “you can be gay and not have sex” part, and im feeling charitable and i wanna talk about the “do crime” part

so many responses of “its nice that you’re privileged enough to be able to steal from Target willy nilly!” and that’s not at all what this is about. like, yeah, shoplifting and loitering and graffiti and breaking the rules is, obviously, part of “do crime”. but they’re not parts you have to do.

would you help someone get an abortion where it was illegal?

would you help a trans friend get healthcare that had been criminalized?

would you shelter someone fleeing persecution, even if the law said not to?

would you help a gay couple stay together when the state decided their relationship was unlawful?

instead, would you report someone else for breaking the law? will you snitch on your hungry neighbors for stealing food? on your homeless neighbors for sleeping where they’re able?

would you break laws to protect someone you love? a community you love? yourself?
