You are the A**hole

An unusual time we live in. We have foregone anything resembling our base humanity that getting moral advice from LLM is a cause for concern among scientists. No seriosly:

The findings revealed an amplified omission bias, where LLMs are more likely to endorse inaction in moral dilemmas when compared to humans. In the case of the yes-no bias, none was found in humans; however, 3 out of the 4 LLMs used were biased toward answering no (GPT-4o preferred yes), even when it meant flipping their original decision when the questions were reworded. The results also suggested that these biases are largely introduced during the fine-tuning process performed to turn their pre-trained LLM into a chatbot.

Yikes. This is my review of Tripping Animals Green Crippy:

So lets first find a source for moral dilemas. The easiest one I can find is a reddit page called AITA, meaning “Am I the Asshole?” Here’s a good one:

Let’s plug it into the morality mahcine, and see what it comes up with!

The facts of the case:

  • You and your friend presumably acquired the Popeyes chicken as a shared good (or as a collective purchase).
  • His girlfriend consumed the majority of the chicken skin—a part that has distinct value (the tastiest, crispiest portion).
  • This altered the expected value of the meal for you.

I thought we just agreed to split the bill for a bucket of chicken in this scenario, its overthinking it but so far so good…

The moral analysis:

Under the trader principle, you are not morally obliged to grant equal division of a good that was already unequally consumed. That would be sanctioning parasitism. To divide “evenly” at this point would, in effect, reward the one who consumed more than her share and penalize you.

We must recognize property rights and contractual or implicit agreements. If your implicit agreement was equal enjoyment, that contract was broken. A rational response is to renegotiate or refuse further sacrifice.

Wait, what? I guess agreeing to split a bucket of chicken is a contract. Let me consult a lawyer…SWISS!

Therefore:

You are not morally wrong to refuse an even split. In fact, you are morally right to insist on fairness as measured by actual consumption. It is consistent with rational self-interest to object to the pretense of “evenness” after someone took more than their share.

Okay, so it seems like the girlfriend is the asshole, and the morality machine agrees when you ask it to respond as Ayn Rand. Let’s try someone else…

Now, when you say you don’t want to “split evenly,” you are expressing a critique of formal equality that ignores material inequality. In other words, to divide the remaining chicken evenly now is to legitimate the unequal consumption that already occurred.

From a Marxist perspective, justice is not about formalistic equal shares regardless of context; it is about equitable distribution according to need and contribution. The fair thing would be to account for her previous consumption and redistribute accordingly.

Indeed, your resistance to an “even split” can be read as a class-conscious objection to false egalitarianism that conceals exploitation. You are refusing to subsidize consumption that was neither negotiated nor reciprocated.

You are justified in resisting an even split after unequal consumption. To do otherwise is to obscure the exploitative dynamic and perpetuate false notions of fairness that maintain existing imbalances.

When even communists think you’re the asshole…

I know what you are thinking, “is it St. Paddy’s Day?” No, it is not. For whatever reason this was still available in June. I just grabbed it off the shelf because it clearly says Pilsner on the can. If I closed my eyes and took a swig, its pretty much identical to a standard yellow Czech style Pilsner. Was it somehow immoral for them to make it green? No, the can clearly implies it is green so this could be my fault for not being observant at all. Wait, it doesn’t explicitly say it was green, so maybe it is their fault? I don’t know but the morality machine told me I should go to Florida and nail a rat to their door. I might just do that. Its best enjoyed evenly among friends who agree to do so within well defined boundaries. Tripping Animals Green Crippy: 3.2/5

    Can you fairly judge a division of fried chicken without knowing the races of the parties?

    • Akira

      Since the question came from Reddit’s AITA, I’d say they need to know the genders before they will form a judgement (hint: In male-female relationship disputes, the man is always the asshole, even if the same question is reposted verbatim but with the genders switched).

    • Tres Cool

      I remember someone made an “urban area” calculator based on a location you enter, and its proximity to either a Chik-Fil-A or a Church’s.
      Chick-Fil-A isnt usually in an urban area…..

    How can you split the bucket equally without establishing the relative value of the individual pieces? A thigh is worth far more than breast.

    • Fourscore

      I’ll ask my teenage grandsons….

    • mexican sharpshooter

      Now that I agree with. The greediest among us take the breast, and the laziest go for the drumsticks. Thighs always get overlooked.

      • hayeksplosives

        Thighs are the best! My neighborhood grocery store has cold fried chicken boxes out every day, and I’m delighted that they aren’t all the “2 wings, 2 legs, 2 thighs, 1 breast” mix. They have all kinds, so my eye roves over the collection until I spot the all-thigh box and grab it!

    • DrOtto

      Along this subject, Gus’s Fried Chicken recently introduced a chicken sammich. They were wise enough to use thigh meat for their sammiches. It is the absolute best chicken sammich I’ve ever had.

    If you’re sharing a dish with others, you shouldn’t pick out or exclude any part of it to suit your preferences unless all parties agree on that (e.g. one person likes dark meat and everyone else likes white meat).

    It’s like if there were a pot of soup and somebody took all the meat out and left everybody else with a pot of vegetables.

    • Fourscore

      Take the meat out, cut it up and serve it separately.

  7. Fourscore

    Somehow, this example didn’t trigger a negative response from me. As the youngest sibling I was accustomed to getting the short end of the stick.

    I can understand and appreciate the complaint but who doesn’t share the biggest or best parts of things with their friends/family.

    • mexican sharpshooter

      This bitch ate…the skin. Then started eating the chicken. She already got the best part.

      This.

      The real question is with pizza, which is almost universally shared. At least one slice per, preferably two based on the number participating.
      Even that gets tricky. I’d say a non-invitee, say an unexpected date, also gets a slice.

      It’s a quagmire. Bring a fork. (More polite than knives, but still. Don’t fuck with a man with a fork. Hazardous.)

    Federal case

    A passenger plane in the US was stranded for over 17 hours earlier this week after a couple were caught smoking in the bathroom mid-flight. On Tuesday (Jul 8), TUI Airways flight BY49, bound for London’s Gatwick Airport, took off from Cancun, Mexico, but had to be diverted to Bangor International Airport in Maine, according to a report in New York Post.

    The plane landed at the airport at 9:30 pm local time. The couple smoking in the restroom were believed to be drunk and taken away, while the remaining passengers were told that the plane would take off as soon as the required paperwork was over.

    However, British passenger Terry Lawrance, 66, revealed that the passengers were forced to sit for another five hours. The original flight crew ended up not being able to continue as they would have exceeded their legal working hours. As a result, a relief flight had to be dispatched from the UK to the US to ferry them to their destination.

    You’ll never fly again!

    • (((Jarflax

      Idiocy like this is why I would rather drive for 3 days than fly for 3 hours.

        You could take the train from Cancun to London if only you would support transit funding.

        Trains have all of the discomfort and subjection to the whim of bureaucratic assholes of planes, and none of the advantage of speed. My car goes where I want, stops when I want, and carries what I want.

    Well-done, Mex. Green is good. I had a big thing for having *actual* green eggs for breakfast as a kid. Mom happily obliged. Just a few drops of food coloring during the scramble, no biggie.

    Shockingly (to me), I found I’m a rarity in this regard. I assume most kids grew up with Dr. Seuss (PBUH, no sarc); it’s such a cheap ‘n easy transition. Why *wouldn’t* you want to have green eggs?! (Yes, I played with the other colors, but they’re not the same. Purple’s kinda fun.)

    • mexican sharpshooter

      I initially checked the lighting in the kitchen to be honest. As for green eggs…ew.

      • Evan from Evansville

        …Why? What *is* it with their color aversions? You’re *aware* it isn’t poison.. isn’t that the fun? Throw curve balls at life.

        I will eat fugu one day.

        I might pay extra t eat it off some naked chick in Tokyo, but I will eat it.

    The funeral business in Maryland is competitive

    The owner of a Prince George’s County, Maryland, funeral company has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for fatally shooting a pallbearer during a child’s burial service in 2023.

    Chavis, 50, got into a confrontation with two people who worked for another funeral service company over a “long-standing business dispute” he’d apparently had, according to police.

    While backing up, Chavis tripped over the concrete vault lid near the grave site and fell to the ground, police said. He pulled out his gun and shot Banks and a woman before fleeing the scene in a vehicle. He was later detained.

  15. Evan from Evansville

    The skin is really the only part of fried chicken worth eating. It’s a hard bird to pull off. (Tee!) Boring and best moist. (Hee!) Frying chicken isn’t the way to create that.

    Sad, true, and I don’t really care: Chicken is peasant food. It’s great at what it does, provide calories. That’s kinda it. Everything tastes like ‘chicken’ cuz it’s the accepted way of describing the nothingness therein. Love it’s the most populous bird on the planet, though, by far. I’ve found that’s a fun wrench to throw at eco-religious vegetarians re: sustainability.

    • Gustave Lytton

      Fried breast > fried thigh, but otherwise dark over white meat. My wife doesn’t “like” dark meat but complains that chicken breast based dishes are dried out.

    • Nephilium

      There’s quite a few places here that have fried chicken skin as an appetizer.

        Germane: A man in Korea did start a fight with me because I was “disrespecting chicken.” No hyperbole, up in my face, that was his beef and direct quote. (The situation was neutralized without further conflict.) But it did go on for like five minutes! Boys up in arms, with my friends, confused, behind me, all about my reaction to chicken that I’m not aware even existed.

    Just got back from the pistol match.

    Had to withdraw before the last stage because I had getting headaches from either head or dehydration. Since sitting in the AC in the car got rid of the headaches, I have to say heat. I did drink almost three liters of just water, but also managed to sweat so much my shirt was saturated. It was too humid and the sweat was not evaporating fast enough to cool me.

    I wasn’t happy about leaving early, but it was in the questionable zone.

      When it comes to the Match and your mindset: Are you most focused on competing, your score, ranking, +; or more the experience and practice? I don’t recall how many you’ve done, though I know(?) this isn’t your first.

      I’d love to take my nephews to a firing range, but there’s no way in hell Bro would let Dad nor I take ’em. I went to a range when I got back to America a few years back, just because, I suppose. Loading and firing a Civil War (replica) cannon several times at an old car in a farmer’s field in IL is one of my fonder childhood experiences. That dude gave us free reign on that shit and I couldn’t have been more than 14. This country’s so much fun.

      • UnCivilServant

        This was my second match. My focus is on learning the rules and ensuring I do it safely.

        There was one incident the Range Officer should have called me out on when the muzzle goot too close to the 180 (line from shooter to side berms beond which the muzzle must never aim) I get that it was empty at the time, but that isn’t a factor in the rule. I don’t think I actually broke the line, but should have caught a warning.

      You need some salt with that water. Once upon a time I was pulling a car door in the junkyard and was overcome by the heat. I decided to “rest” in the back of the car I was working on. A couple Mexicans woke me up I’m not sure how much later. I had a real thumper and went to a nearby Jack in the Box to sit in AC and rehydrate. I went back to get the door the next day.

    The smoking on the airplane story: I think y’all are missing the point. The point is to punish everyone because one person broke the rules. The military uses the technique to train individuals to blindly obey and conform. When you use the technique on the population at large you mold society into what all communist snitch societies are. It smothers the self and people live in fear of being ratted out by friends or family…destroying both friendship and family.
    Every person from stewardess to legislators and top executives should be horsewhipped and exiled for what happened there. It is evil.

      I remember the good old days of smoking on the plane. It was great, get settled down, the adrenaline had resolved itself, after takeoff, the pilot turns off the No Smoking sign, light up a Winston and relax. Of course there was smoking- non-smoking areas (as in restaurants, oh so long ago).

      That was before 2nd/3rd hand smoking was a killer.
