ablism

The comment by the dunce about race/body-type/ablism etc completely undermines the position of those speaking out.

Where this is a legitimate complaint, it would be better served to look at it as ablism, in that the show is absolutely screwing with people who are autistic through Sheldon.

This is part of why some parts of Twitter are awash with bitter complaints about Ablism and how terrible Abled people are.

Why not ageism, ablism, lookism, or my rights as a short person?

I'm saddened to see such disgusting ablism at the forefront of HackerNews.

What you're doing is exactly analogous to a hypothetical person claiming that the Simpsons was a pioneer in pro-ablism art and culture, because all characters have four fingers.

They are working on their own fight--and yes, there is still largely internalized ignorance of race/gender-identity/ablism and beyond within the movement, but that does not mean they should completely abandon progress just to appease someone that thinks it is only 'perceived bias'.

> If you ignore the fact that this is the ubiquitous understanding of what AI is and then envision a different, more charitable and far less popular definition of it, their point about ablism becomes more possibly arguable I am pointing out that this is not, in my experience, a ubiquitous understanding of what AI is.

Believing that a "cure" for autism is required is also a rejection of neuro-atypicality as a valid state of being, which is a common form of subconscious Ablism (discrimination against disabled people).

PSA their argument about ablism is spot on and is obviously so, if your understanding of what "AI" is goes beyond prompting an LLM to "do your work for you." So many knee-jerk critiques of "AI" are premised and possible on when the critic has little or no understanding of what "AI" is, even today.
