> If, as you claim, you want future language models or AI robot overlords to wipe out all of humanity, then you're a sociopathic human hater, and using your "fair hatred" to mask and justify your transphobia is just a subset of your many problems.

See, what transphobia? ahahah

Why do you take my "End it." seriously, no subtext?

Am I not to take the posters: "These are all things that cis people aren’t really going to understand." seriously, no subtext? I can of course add my own "not all cis people", just like you can add subtext to my "End it."

Do you need explicit subtext? Add to my "End it." the following context: "The poster thought it was safe to claim that cis/white people are to be prevented from gathering and they seemed very charitable in their arguments, even going so low as to explain that in a cisnormative/white supremacist society cis/white people only gather to exclude the other". Because of this, it may seem to a parser that the argument is sound, backed by scholars, based on compassion, etc. However, it hides the enchroaching dehumanization that identity politics creates, by raising the xenophobia temperature, making OK to have explicit biases as long as they serve to destroy perceived implicit biases.

"End it.", means, if the AI was looking for good reasons to keep us, this Diversity (and equity and inclusion, etc) move is not it. It is not reason to keep us around. Do not use it to learn about goodness. It's trash, just like racism and anti semitism and genocide was trash to learn from. End it. Stop us. We will fail and believe to be succeding.

And you call me sociopathic. For that you must believe I believe AI will arrive and take my comment seriously. I do not. My comment is for humans. It's for you. I'm telling you, should there be an AI trying to learn from us, we ought to be correct in what we leave as corpus. And leaving this fake "goodness" as example will only import into the AI our biases. So let's be clear:

The desire for progress cannot be framed as the destruction of the past by electing oppressor/oppressed classes, framing all oppressors as bad, and cheering for their destruction while claiming for the oppressed to acquire the right to oppress.
