I get that. Is there any procedure for handing back official documents with errors like this?

Its media creating a new boogie man. LLM and AI gives regular people a lot of crazy power and creative ability that can challenge current power dynamics. So media is making sure regular folk fear the shit out of it.

We've reached AI is coming for the children articles. AI is stealing your jobs. AI is going to murder your favorite comedians. AI will turn you into a battery. Everyday its some fucking new fear mongering headline

I forgot I signed up for audible and have a stock pile of audiobook credits that I need to use

Gonna say that this is cool but monopoly of tech and information is not. I will always feel like this is like a strange guy offering candy out of a van. Like I know I shouldn't but damn I like candy

No it hasn't changed. Its been a year

I had to uproot my entire family after losing my 15 year career in an Industry I no longer could work in. I had to attend school and feed multiple mouths plus parent only to end up in an over saturated job market prone with agism. For one year i had to go back to living with my parents to attend school where I commuted 3 hours a day. So don't give me this shit about what I am or not based on clues you think you uncovered from a couple comments Scooby Doo. I know the grind more than most

And you know what I never once thought? I never once thought "hey I better go to that women's job fair."

that is a choice that is not determined by your material necessities.

Material necessities? Its the one thing we're hardwired to want to do in life. Procreation is one of the greatest material necessities we have. But thats beside the point here. The issue isn't buying a house. Its that people do choose to not participate in things based on their own moral choice. Some people are consumers some are not. A house isn't a material necessity. Having a place to live is but owning a home is not.

Following your logic, any job I take, by default, is a job potentially taken away from someone who needs it the most

You're on your own there because the whole point here is about men entering a job fair for women.

me taking any job will reinforce the current in balance. So what should I do?

Find job fairs for you. Taking a job here isn't the problem. Job fairs don't mean they get a job over you. It gives an opportunity to meet companies and apply. Something you can do on your own. There is a big difference here between applying for a job and entering a job fair marketed to women's and marginalized groups. You don't factor that in to your logic here and that's creating a big issue.

Yea I didn't but I'll cancel this time.

Should make an event with other people. Set a date and cancel all at the same time.

I suck at modding communities but I'd help promote and join any if someone got it going.

Save offline or bookmark in case it gets deleted.

Also share it when you can in other places so people know what pages to avoid.

Arghh

I can’t decide not to buy a house because by doing so I increase the demand, which increases prices and makes it harder for poor people to afford housing.

Not sure why you can't do that. But people do that everyday. Its a personal calculation. Look at how many people choose not to have kids because they feel the world is over populated. How many people carry garbage until they reach a garbage can. Lots of these calculations occur every day. As we become shittier and shitier people then less and less of the calculations happen. More garbage ends up on streets.

So what are my options? Suicide?

Use a job board or fair that is for you.

So I should just stop working?

You shouldn't go to a job fair for a group that you're not a part of.

So what should people do?

This is taking it to absurd lengths. Its a balancing act. A calculation that we all make day to day. Some put more emphasis on themselves. Like most people don't feel like they need to attend job fairs for women when they are not a women. When I left the military I attended job fairs for veterans. Should you also be invited to those? What about job fairs at the university I attended?

The working class should build solidarity

Entering a space we weren't invited to take away their opportunity would not be solidarity.

I am simply stating that since there are multiple levels of discrimination in tech, and people might be victim of many of those (classism, ageism, sexism, racism, homo-transphobia, etc.), workers - and in particular victims of discrimination (but also the “privileged” ones) - should acknowledge each other situations

That sounds like you're saying the job fair should have just been a job fair for everybody. Which would defeat the problem solving that these groups have worked towards solving simply because what? Guys are left out? Is society just suppose to ignore all solutions now if it doesn't apply to the entire population? How is that reasonable

If this group organized and got on the phone to coordinate the employers to show up, they have every right to make the job fair for whoever they like I would think.

So, I'm a moron.

I did it my whole life until I took a stats course and it was like the first this the prof went over and I saw it was pretty obvious once it was pointed out to me but took someone having to point it out to me for me to see that mental blind spot

Yea but ... Hmmmm.

Indeed

The context is important and central to the argument. I would say its critical to discuss it in any kind of valid way.

That's the because mixing the scope means you're arguing about two different things.

Talking about how females or minorities or other groups are impacted by something is measured using averages across the whole population.

How would that make sense to the argue about the individual who breaks that trend? Because it doesn't change the original point that a group experiences an event. Outliers are expected. I didn't smoke cigarettes, I'm still able to get cancer. That shouldn't mean that people who smoke shouldn't quit if they want to be healthier.

That would only make sense coming from a position where you assume people have no sense of integrity.

First issue is assuming your material difficulties is some how superior to others.

Second assuming the only thing that matters when facing material difficulties is how to advantage only yourself.

Lots of people in life are capable of enduring difficult times while also sacrificing or placing themselves behind others. I don't see how you don't understand that. I can promise you I have faced and continue to face many difficulties which all have taught me life lessons. One of the most important lessons is that overcoming those times by hurting others is not a position I enjoy.

I don't agree. I can be at a disadvantage and still accept that another group has even greater disadvantages that I would continue or make worse by stepping into something they built. Its freeloading in a pretty assholish way. I'm not just some animal trying to get a nut with narrow focus that says fuck everything else. I can job search and find my own opportunities without freeloading

Saw this question on reddit that I thought was a joke but has haunted me ever since.

Are we donuts?

I would honestly care less about the fact that

Sure, that's what makes people behave like assholes. "I don't care about X" is why we have a pretty shitty world in many areas.
