Re:How Did Patriarchy Begin? on Friday June 02, 2023 @06:19AM (#36163320)
Simple stuff, in the very old times, who brings the food home, makes the rules.

Female members of tribes also were probably raising child from very young, so were busy, not able to go hunting and bring food, either unable to hire by themselves someone to take care of the children.

Not far from all that, male members of tribes probably used the female as low/zero salary workforce, not far from slavery.

There you go, starting from there, you can just make the societies as patriarchal as you want, just because female are just tagged as unable to do valuable work.

There's range of functionality in software technology, i.e. some new framework, may have been outputed fully developed and internally debugged for years in some startup, or you could have a really almost not even a production level software, just uploaded to github.

In most projects, many unmatured software is being used just because works for some specific task, nowadays.

With that in mind, it is easy to hyphotetize that many projects are already using LLMs internally. Not always for good deeds, easily, one of the most and best use cases, is to use LLMs to command & control distributed malware.

So there you go, it maybe possible that some beta level of intelligent malware is already roaming the Internet right now. We'll know for sure in some years from now (the usual time for advanced malware to be discovered is somewhat 2-3 years after it has been took it to production).
