I don't know how to address this properly because I feel like every time I write about it I get the same misunderstandings from every direction.

the thing happening right now (at the very least in the US and UK) is that trans youth are actively and systemically losing access to healthcare. this has been gradually escalating since the start of the pandemic, and more young people lose healthcare every single year.

when I talk about this I tend to get two responses

"why do trans adults want to expand these experimental treatments to children who can't consent"

"providers offering care to trans adults is a step in the right direction, even if they aren't offering it to trans youth. the perfect is the enemy of the good. we can't fight our allies."

do you see how both the overtly transphobic version and the nominally "pro-trans" version replicate the same misinformation?

this is not a question of "should we expand access to trans youth?" trans youth have had access to medical transition care for a long time. what is happening is the care they already had access to is being made inaccessible and then criminalized systematically.

am I making sense? places refusing to offer care to trans youth are not "a step in the right direction" because that implies that the trend is expanding access that "begins" with trans adults and innately will gradually encompass young people. that is not the case. this is not a hypothetical thing that we can all have different theoretical opinions on. what is happening is the systematic revoking of healthcare.

the further this progresses, the more healthcare is restricted for more demographics. that's how this works. healthcare is being restricted across the board as part of the broader eugenics project. abortion is being restricted. vaccines are becoming more expensive. insurance companies are denying more treatments to disabled people. anti-fatness is surging. ableism is surging. there are active campaigns to get people to mistrust the very idea of healthcare in favor of "wellness" grifts. no one wears N-95 masks. this is the trend. it's been the trend.

I don't know how to communicate that we are not at an early step in a progressive trajectory, we are mid-stage in a eugenic order. please understand what I'm saying.

if you start introducing nice things into your life it's a slippery slope and you have to be careful in case you start liking it when things are nice

how it all feels lately

[byjove]

That post I made about doctors complaining about ‘abusive’ patients devolved into a discussion about doctors being assaulted by patients on the job (not what the post was about) and the thing is, when they talk about it they speak as though this patient is a normal person in all other scenarios and just hit doctors to hit doctors. Patients with cognitive, neurological or mental health issues are often violent! People are pummeled by their sundowning grandma in their own home every fucking day! It isn’t you, at your job, it is everyone in this person’s life. They’re bringing the person in to get help and try to keep them safe, you, as the medical professional, are the one responsible for figuring out solutions, you are the one who has to go to your management and ask for more stringent protocols to keep you and your patients safe, the patient probably cannot advocate for themself!

And as for the minority of patients who are not experiencing a medical crisis that affects their behavior and just want to throw hands because they are fundamentally violent people, they’re also brawling with food service workers.

Medical professionals assault and kill patients frequently, the difference is that they are the ones in a position of power with (hopefully) a clear reasoning capability. There should be barriers in place to protect these medical professionals and to protect patients but the way that people in these professions behave like they are the only ones on earth to experience violence in the world place and they are complete hapless martyrs who had no idea sick people could behave in ways that endanger themselves and others is maddening. If you are not protected enough, it is because the same medical system that is hurting us refuses to protect you, not that all patients are conspiring to ruin your day and be mean to you.

[byjove]

*conservative voice* marriage is a beautiful thing where you and your spouse hold each other hostage and are miserable for the rest of your lives and I don’t think gay people should be allowed to experience the beauty of having a spouse that has no desire to fuck you and hopes you will die young so they can finally exist in peace

Tbh I think the "but data centers are important infrastructure, not just AI" talking point misses that like

Ok so roads are important infrastructure. A lot of stuff that's important happens on roads. Now, let's imagine that quadrillionaire Matt Stench has decided that the next big tech innovation is the Wide Car. It's a car that takes up six lanes despite seating only one passenger.

The Wide Car is supposed to be the future, and everyone's going to be driving Wide Cars, even though nobody who makes Wide Cars is turning a profit. Employers are offering Wide Cars as an employee benefit, and getting "nah." Some employers are going as far as demanding their employees drive Wide Cars, and the result is that people take time out of their workdays to get in the mandatory gas usage for their Wide Car before driving home in a regular car.

In spite of the fact that the Wide Car is clearly set to fail, there's an enormous push to expand to twelve-lane roads to accommodate a bunch of Wide Cars that simply will not materialize. This is not an organic response to demand, but a speculative investment that amplifies the existing issues with road development for no good reason.

That is the problem.

[tpwrtrmnky]

Oh and the road infrastructure project is buying up resources other people could have used for literally anything else. With money they promise they'll be making from Wide Car sales any day now.

Okay so what I'm getting from the notes is that when you try to transplant some techbro nonsense into an offline equivalent, you have to be careful to avoid simply inventing something the Americans are already doing in real life

[rage-cupcakes]

The other thing about AI data centers is they're incredibly purpose-specific. A data center built to be packed with GPUs is not a normal data center, and most the things people actually want to do--browse websites, use apps, talk to their friends, post, whatever--don't require GPUs.

These data centers aren't even useful in their own right.

[tpwrtrmnky]

I'm one of the people who've used large amounts of GPUs for research purposes, and it's way worse: A fraction of the power of many of these data centers could be used to power an entire PhD's worth of research, but they're being used to do This Bullshit instead.
