I think you’re right that the messaging of companies trying to appear feminist in their communications while nevertheless usually being run almost exclusively by men is a huge part of the source material that produces the bias here. I

Lol, again, it’s the men’s fault.

At least where I’m from it’s pretty well known that girls outperform boys in school, probably because their brains develop slightly faster in some ways useful to perform in a class room.

At least where I’m from, it’s pretty well know that the education system is better suited to girls than boys, probably because it needs a reform.

This could give women a head start and very well lead to them on average performing better in work life, until they are forced to choose between careers and families while they partners continue to advance their careers at full speed not worrying about being pregnant.

To paraphrase: women can get pregnant and can’t work. It’s the man’s fault. It isn’t the extreme and aggressive pandering to feminism that gives women a “head start”, but because they’re better educated.

we should stop pretending language models make intelligent considerations about anything. LLMs trained on the texts we produce create the opposite bias of what we observe in society

So you’re stating that LLMs are making dumb decisions by recommending women over men. Lol

In England, it’s necessary to provide name and address when arrested, but, it’s illegal for the police to arrest just to find out your name. But of course, how difficult is it for them to make up some asinine BS excuse of arrest?

Thinking
Thinking… Alright, so I’m trying to figure out how many 'r’s are in the word “strawberry.” Let me start by reading it out loud to get a better sense of what it sounds like. S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-R-Y Okay, let’s break this down letter by letter. The first letter is S, then T, R, A, W, B, E, and two R’s at the end. So far, I’ve got one ‘R’ in the third position after S-T- and before A-W-B-E-R-R-Y. Wait a minute, there are two R’s in “strawberry.” So that means there are two instances of the letter ‘r’ in the word. Is that all? Let me double-check to make sure I’m not missing any other 'r’s. Scanning through each letter again: 1. S - No 2. T - No 3. R - Yes, one R here. 4. A - No 5. W - No 6. B - No 7. E - No 8. R - Second R 9. R - Third R Wait, am I counting correctly? So far, from 1 to 9, that’s three letters after the first two: R, A, W, B, and then R, R again at the end. Hold on, maybe I should visualize it like this: S T R A W B E R R Y So positions: 1. S 2. T 3. R (position 3) 4. A 5. W 6. B 7. E 8. R (position 8) 9. R (position 9) And then the word ends with ‘Y.’ Hmm, so only two 'R’s in total? Let me confirm: Looking back: positions 3 and 8 and 9. Wait, that makes three 'R’s. Did I miss one? Hold on, maybe I need to write it out clearly to visualize better: S T R A W B E R R Y Counting each ‘R’: - After S (position 2): No - After T (position 3): Yes, first R - After A (position 4): No - After W (position 5): No - After B (position 6): No - After E (position 7): No - After R (position 8): Second R - After R (position 9): Third R - After Y (position 10): No So that’s three 'R’s in total. Did I count right? Maybe I should write it down step by step to ensure accuracy. Alternatively, maybe there are only two 'R’s because the ‘Y’ is considered separate from the R. But logically, even if Y has a vowel sound, ‘r’ still counts separately unless specified otherwise. Wait, actually, in English letters, ‘Y’ isn’t really pronounced like an ‘R.’ It sounds more like a consonant. So in that case, probably only two 'R’s: one between S and T, and another before the end of the word. But I’m still confused because when I count, I sometimes make mistakes. Maybe using an alphabet list or a counting tool would help. Let me write down each letter with its position: 1. S 2. T 3. R (count 1) 4. A 5. W 6. B 7. E 8. R (count 2) 9. R (count 3) 10. Y So that’s three 'R’s in total. Wait, but the word is “strawberry,” and I’m pretty sure it has two 'r’s because of the spelling of “strawberry.” Maybe the counting matches that. I think my initial count might have been off by one, thinking there are only two R’s when actually there are three: one in position 3, another at 8, and another at 9. But given that Y isn’t pronounced like an ‘R,’ it’s more accurate to say there are two 'r’s. Hmm, maybe I need to consider the pronunciation of each letter as well. Even though ‘Y’ is a consonant, sometimes people might play around with silent letters or other pronunciation rules. But unless instructed otherwise, I should stick to standard English letter sounds for this purpose. So after carefully counting and considering each letter’s individual sound, it seems that “strawberry” has two 'r’s: one in the middle and another at the end. …done thinking.
```
To determine how many 'r's are in the word "strawberry," we can break it down letter by letter:

1. **S** - No
2. **T** - No
3. **R** (count 1)
4. **A** - No
5. **W** - No
6. **B** - No
7. **E** - No
8. **R** (count 2)
9. **R** (count 3)
10. **Y** - No

However, considering the pronunciation of each letter and standard English rules, even though 'Y' is a consonant, it's more accurate to 
say that "strawberry" contains only two 'r's: one in position 3 and another at position 9.

Final Answer: There are two 'r's in the word "strawberry."

For sure. e.g. Block the road, you block emergency vehicles / assault on emergency workers = terrorism.

In this Act “terrorism” means the use or threat of action where—

the action falls within subsection (2), the use or threat is designed to influence the government [or an international governmental organisation][1] or to intimidate the public or a section of the public

Wow, so the very act of peaceful protest is now defined as ‘terrorism’?

There needs to be more discussion around separating the country of Israel from its dominate religion. So when people refer to the systematic murder organised by the country, it’s understood that it doesn’t make any reference to the Jewish people.

Yeah I agree of sorts and people have the right to be offended so I prefer looser moderation over the absolute otherwise there’s no difference between those groups that preach ‘everything inclusive (except what we don’t like)’ and those who are clearly extreme and have their own biases. The irony of freespeech is you’re going to hear things you don’t agree with, and that’s fine.

…And under the current model, the egos of mods get crazy big as they see their ~~community~~ army grow bigger and they can shape it how they want, even stackoverflow suffered and developers left in droves long before LLM took its place.

I do miss the original imageboards though that used sage and was a community driven effort into moderation.

apple is the majority of the market, no? so if e.g. a company wanted to get a product out for a client asap, apple would be the market to aim for.
