  • I take issue with comparing the success rate of violent revolutions to non-violent ones. I think that violent revolutions happen when non-violent revolutions are impossible or unfeasible. The fact that they have less success doesn't mean much when trying to do a non-violent revolution would likely have no chance of success.

    Historical circumstances will vary and so no single strategy is better for all cases.

  • I accept your experience as valid. However, I do see men and boys being collectively refered to as "males". I propose that the disparity may be explained by the places we frequent. But I also agree that the "males" noun don't seem to be used as often. This, coupled with how the "female" noun is used as a slur by misogynists, make it clear to me why women are offended by it, and it's why I've stopped using it.

  • I think mysoginists just have a lot of spotlight on them, or are vocal. I hadn't been aware of "female" being used as a slur before it was pointed out here on Lemmy. I think "female" as a noun is still used neutrally far more often than as a slur.

  • I was living with about 10k CAD/y for a few years when I was single and I was mostly fine.

    Granted, this was in the 2010s. And of course I wasn't in Manhattan, as you can guess by the currency.

    Now, I'm making about 70k CAD with a family (sole provider) and I'm just staying afloat.

  • They can produce high-quality answers now, but that's just because they wwre trained on things written by humans.

    Any training on things produced by LLMs will just reproduce the same stuff, or even worse actually because it will include hallucinations.

    For an AI to discover new things and truly innovate, or learn about existing products, the world, etc. it would need to do something entirely different than what LLMs are doing.
