True, Binet, the french psychologist who created the first test of this type was not a eugenicist.

But the first American to popularise the concept, was a radical eugenicist (racist, ableist etc.), Lewis Terman, and it’s his version of the IQ test that got popularised in the US.

(And some reactionary intellectual circles still try to use it to justify “scientific” racism, to this day)

Its conception and first uses were tailored to have data backing up the concept poor people, disabled people, and black people were dumber, thereby justifying forced sterilisation and human rights abuses of those groups.

In fact, the Nazis used a modified version inspired by the american concept of IQ tests to justify their genocide of disabled people.

Yeah it’s not even close.

I wonder if this is just because as the world has shifted rightward the training data has too.

Or if it is a genuine OpenAI policy, in this political climate it would not suprise me if they were shifting it rightwards on purpose.

Your son is so based. Fav colour Pink, wants to help poor people and plants.

Can you tell him I’d vote for him.

As an adult. I agree. That is the most annoying thing about adults.

That even includes lemmy with 50k MAU.

Yeah. We evolved to survive as a group. Not as individuals.

Kangaroos while they do sometimes form groups, are far far less social, and kids of dead parents aren’t adopted like what would happen in a human group.

Kangaroos do the same. To be fair, evolutionarily it makes sense. (They only do it when they have literally no escape, and the choice is either both of them dying or the kid dying, soo…)

you can tweak the weights though

I hope we reintroduce and help repopulate predators.

The main reason deer populations are out of control is we’ve killed pretty much everything that eats deer…

…and you have 0 posts on your account.

There is a shortage of posts on lemmy compared to active users. So no use outproportionally criticising someone who is posting a post based on something like image quality of a reposted meme lol. That’ll just make people who bring content to lemmy less likely to continue.

Obviously it’s okay to criticise bad posts, but I think in thise case the criticism was more just insults. (and especially in a meme community, like dude we don’t expect 4k image memes).

Appreciate your images. But I don’t think that shade on OP was necessary lol.

Maybe people can be corrupted. But I think it’s selection biases. If you’re the type of person to fuck people over to earn money (big buisness) or to seek power above others (politics), maybe you were corrupted in the first place? I mean it’s hard to make it in either of those without doing a lot of morally questionable stuff.

I’ve never seen something as big as the one on the left, in my entire life. Probably because I haven’t been to the US in a long ass time?

According to the first article that popped up in the search results the most likely theory is portugese traders brought them over from madagascar.

“oh no, our democracy is fragile” the newspapers say, while at this point all that’s left of american democracy is ash and crumbling rubble.

It does not make me feel good that legit half of tech outlets are owned by one company.
