I was almost expecting Castration to be a model name from some new lab..

For low difficulty tasks use Eunuch for lower costs. For advanced features, higher limits and access to Incel, our wizard-tier model, upgrade to Pro for only $96 per month.

Yeah, but I heard that they trained Incel on data from the dark-net, and it has a tendency to ignore guard rails and try and break containment.

This research is flawed and should be ignored.

Makes sense. Instead of wasting resources trying to procreate, spend them in self-repair.

I do wander if they had to pad the cages to prevent them from committing suicide thou.

Huh. Harmful effects of testosterone? I don't even know what testicles do other than make sperm.

itishappy•35m ago

Testosterone is a potent hormone promoting targeted development, and growth can be a double-edged sword.

When the valves in the veins near testes fail as we age, the concentration of testosterone in the backflow can cause the prostate to swell up.

He might have some trouble tracking his erections, though.

Don't we do this experiment to nearly all pets? Why not collect longevity data from veterinarians?

Well, this is not the news I was hoping for :)

In human men too[1][2]!

Would you chop them for extra years though?

2. What a great reversal of the usual 'in mice' trope.

It's not like I'm using them anyway.

Nobody tell the World Economic Forum last they get any ideas. "You'll have no balls and you'll be happy."
