They already do that. I think it was Did You Know Gaming channel's video about Pókemon ROM hacks and they mentioned that few of them were likely taken down because they were targeted by an AI crawler.

Oh you mean that the number 256 overflows into 0 in 8-bit range. My joke was leaning more into the idea that when you use all 256 possible bit combinations (1111 1111), it can represent -1 in signed integer formats. Even though 255 is the highest number you can directly represent, there are still 256 total combinations, including zero, so IMO, the joke works.

I'm not sure what you're implying with this. But how did you dig this up anyway?

Skill issue. Try the following:

  • be born into a different family that did have a Mega Drive
  • time travel back in time and give yourself a Mega Drive
  • travel to an alternate universe (or as I like to call it, time travel sideways) where Mega Drives are standard issue at birth

 
Hope this helps. Git gud.

Mega Drive is clearly better because that's the one I had as a child.

Yeah, I mean, sort by controversial is there for a reason.

Sick burn and true, we have so few comments that we read all of them anyway.

I have to dig deep into my brain, but is this Oreimo? I remember practically nothing, but that's the neuron that fired.

Isn't it the opposite? At least with ChatGPT specifically, it used to be super uptight ("as an LLM trained by..." blah-blah) but now it will mostly do anything. Especially if you have a custom instruction to not nag you about "moral implications".

Ultimately, it's supposed to be used to make post/comments less visible, for whatever reason.

Ok, I definitely didn't see it that way. But the way you describe it, I was just constantly drawing a parallel with something like anorexia; you have an uncontrollable urge to change the way you look (and behave?). I know that gender dysphoria isn't classified as a disorder and only a condition, but it certainly sounds like something that causes a lot of distress that one wouldn't want to experience.

But now I understand that a person experiencing gender dysphoria should be treated as somebody with a disorder, in the sense that it's something beyond their control and you can't just logic your way out of it. Like, they just feel that way, even if it doesn't make sense, and for their benefit, we just have to accept it.

I also suspect it's not as bad as you described for everybody, but I need to be prepared for the worst case scenario, too.

Thank you for this massive write-up!

Frankly, I don't understand most of what you said, I must be lacking some context. But I do want to clarify one point, which will help me understand a lot of things better. You said:

Saying I “was a woman” would imply that I chose to do so freely, which I did not.

How does one actually identify if they are a "man" or a "woman"? What list of criteria makes one of a certain gender?
