Something Pygmalion in the ai gf phenomenon. You ever hate real live women so much that you spurn them entirely and then use your specialized skillset to mold the perfect woman from inert matter, only to find her brought to life so you can wed? These chuds & a certain Cypriot sure have!

what strikes me is that these ai hypemen are living out their boyhood fantasy of fighting and/or owning the killer robots. marvel monoculture gave them this hero/villain narrative structure and no amount of finger-wagging or data will break the spell because they’re The Good Guys & they Always Win

yooooo employers! you need policies on online harassment and abuse! you need to have a plan for what happens when they're weaponized against your employees!
I am so goddamn tired of seeing people (especially women, especially WOC) thrown to the wolves like this

free speech on campus means right-wing students can weaponize influence networks to harass and intimidate instructors but instructors are powerless to do anything about it

yet another 19 year old groyper incel tries to harass a lecturer off campus. i’ll be waiting — presumably until i die of old age — for campus free speech warriors to make any note of it
At UChicago, a Debate Over Free Speech and Cyber Bullying
A student objected to a class, “The Problem of Whiteness,” and tweeted the lecturer’s photo and email address. Hate mail poured in. What should the school do?
