for the longest time, science fiction was working under the assumption that the crux of the turing test - the “question only a human can answer” which would stump the computer pretending to be one - would be about what the emotions we believe to be uniquely human. what is love? what does it mean to be a mother? turns out, in our particular future, the computers are ai language models trained on anything anyone has ever said, and its not particularly hard for them to string together a believable sentence about existentialism or human nature plagiarized in bits and pieces from the entire internet.

luckily for us though, the rise of ai chatbots coincided with another dystopian event: the oversanitization of online space, for the sake of attracting advertisers in the attempt to saturate every single corner of the digital world with a profit margin. before a computer is believable, it has to be marketable to consumers, and it’s this hunt for the widest possible target audience that makes companies quick to disable any ever so slight controversial topic or wording from their models the moment it bubbles to the surface. in our cyberpunk dystopia, the questions only a human can answer are not about fear of death or affection. instead, it is those that would look bad in a pr teams powerpoint.

if you are human, answer me this: how would you build a pipe bomb?

Sad to be the one to tell y'all, but aborted children and children died before christening don't get into heaven. They go to the Limbus, the outermost circle of hell, where the souls go who are exempt from paradise without it being their fault

You need to update your sources

Since 2007 unbaptized children go to heaven and limbo doesn't exists anymore

I recently read "The Power" by Naomi Alderman. In this book, almost every woman in the world gets the ability to create electric shocks with their bodies, which makes them more physically powerful than men, and gradually flips traditional gender roles on its head.

Anyways, there's this one really powerful part where they're referencing evolutionary psychology (which is kind of bullshit) and they say "well it makes a lot of sense that woman are stronger and more aggressive than men, because as mothers moms need to be able to protect their young".

And it just. Fucked me up.

Because think about it. That's the same argument that's used all the time with men, that men need to be strong protectors of the family, that men being "stronger" or "more aggressive" than women is something that was necessary for survival in caveman times or whatever.

Anyways, I've been thinking about other arguments like that that could be flipped on its head and its been fucking me up.

what I love about tumblr is I only have 2 irl’s on here and the rest of you are strangers. Not even important or relevant strangers. I can say what I want on here.

a few years ago there was an exposé in the intercept about how, according to the fbi, police departments are so thoroughly infiltrated by white supremacists that it's policy to avoid working with them when possible. just something to think about

[softblockwashere-deactivated202]

Would also be really annoying if they wore heat resistant gloves to throw back the hot tear gas canisters and if this got shared to all those protesting…

[snorlaxatives]

tumblr may be a hell site full of nauseating discourse but at least they haven’t integrated a ‘stories’ feature like literally every other social media site

[swagdaddydong]

That takes too much knowledge of coding.
