  • Eeeeh, I dunno about that. If he had been an ass man, people wouldn’t have started making fun of people who like ass. They would have just continued making fun of how much he inserts ass into his movies.

    I think even without association with Tarantino, first encounters with foot fetishism would be met with heavy skepticism/suspicion.

    We won’t even get into some of the more egregious attempts to convert existing, real slurs into anti-LLM equivalents, which I have seen and heard other people recount. The word “clanker” is clearly being used as a slur despite lacking a vulnerable target to make it a slur in truth. Just as some people make jokes about a scenario where future androids try to reclaim it as “clanka”, it echoes something that I believe needs introspection from more people. Yes, I understand the concept of joke but the premise didn’t need explanation because the parallels were already there. We’re all saying that LLMs aren’t people, let alone vulnerable minorities, but that just seems to convince people to use them because they are “safe”.

    If you make up a slur for a nonexistent group, blindly using it with invective, very few people will say “haha, it’s fine that they keep using these untargeted, but weirdly-charged, terms because the group doesn’t exist”.

    If you want to be mad about “AI”, go behead a billionaire instead of making posts like “clankers should stay out of art. that’s for humans.”

    Yeah, robots and LLMs don’t give a shit because they don’t think. Which makes it even weirder to try and “demean” it.

    People could insult them normally: call them idiotic wastes of water, energy, and investment but they choose to create slurs that the LLMs can barely parse, let alone internalize. Robots can’t think nor have conceptions of themselves as anything that a slur can drag them down from. Which means the slur is entirely self-serving for the speaker. What need is the compulsion to use slurs, even devoid of a valid target, serving? At best, it’s flirting with taboos because they’re forbidden, like a kid puffing on candy cigarettes.

    Also this isn’t a critique against your reply, just sharing a correction, but “distain” is so archaic that I think you meant “disdain”. Pardon if you did mean “distain”; it just struck me as odd.
