This is literally what people are talking about when they say AI will be used to mainstream widely held bigotry. LLMs are trained on frequency and probability -> straight relationships are more well represented in the dataset -> straight pronouns and terms become the "correct" normal.

This is a form of backdoor bigotry from both normative facts (there are more straight than gay relationships) and well represented bigoted beliefs (men are superior to women).

Combine this with the mass of people inclined to believe (and being encouraged to believe) that if AI says and does something it must be correct

This is why Pride is not just a party. It's a joyful celebration, but it's also a pointed and colourful two-finger salute to a world that stood back whilst so many of us died. And we'll never go quietly, never again.

I got these back to back on my facebook feed. Now, I haven't read the Atlantic article, and also it was written in 2020 and not as a response to this couple, but clearly the Atlantic is reposting it with an incendiary pull line to capitalize on this couple's story.

And the pull line is ridiculous on its own, regardless of what context I'm missing from the article. Down syndrome is not an inherited trait like red hair or brown eyes. It's chromosomal abnormality. Talking about it like there's some kind of movement trying to "wipe out" a group of people is so intellectually dishonest. Down syndrome is not an ethnic group, and one woman aborting is not a call to murder all living people with Down syndrome.

It's just so woman hating. Why shouldn't a family decide what's best for the health of their family and child? I don't know of this couple, even if they are cringe influencers, I think it's so brave to share their story and it's helpful to women and girls to hear it. Despite the hate that is being directed at this couple, I hope they realize they are helping normalize this conversation and this choice.

I think a lot of people expect to have a woman in their life doing all this work for them. so when they don't have her they think "I'm poor, because if I wasn't poor I wouldn't have to do this myself with my own money." mostly men, but I think some women think this too. cooking + cleaning + kin keeping, that's "women's" work aka mommy's work. I think soooo so so so many people see mommy's work as detached from time, effort, and money. mommy is supposed to buy christmas ornaments. mommy is supposed to plan my birthday party. mommy is supposed to keep the kitchen spotless every day. it free, it's supposed to be free. if I don't have it, it's because I'm being oppressed, I'm burdened, I'm the lowest class. etc etc etc. and that extends to political action, too! I can't organize my friends, I have a shitty apartment! I'd have to buy pizza! I'd have to have a couch! I'd have to cook! I'd have to clean my bathroom! I don't have mommy to do it!! So it can't be done!! It's self evident of my station!! you know what I'm saying?

When you realize griffith closed his heart to everyone because feeling for soldiers meant failure. When you realize griffith opened his heart only to guts. When you realize griffith was willing to forget his dream for guts. And history will call them close friends.
