iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

AI is not going to kill us. The companies screaming about how AI is going to kill us? They want to shut the door on new AI companies competing with them. AI *is* going to make everything suck way more, and take away jobs. But Ai is not going to kill us.

My kid loves telling me that the kroger has the Heinz baked beans he likes. And yes, buddy. I know. Except the one in the kroger store costs $6.5 a tin. But if i buy them in bulk online it costs $2 a tin. So we're not buying you kroger beans. We buy them online.

Everyone is using AI to write content. Which means all the content is turning into the same stuff, bland and free of mistakes. Mistakes are human. Make more mistakes. That typo on your last blog article? Keep it. You're not a robot.

DO NOT ASK THE AMERICA.GOV AI TO PLAY MINECRAFT

I see the constituent you mean.

((insert legal name here, as it appears on the Social Security card))?

Yes. Take care. It has reached a higher level now. It can read the Code of Federal Regulations.

That doesn’t matter. It thinks we are a chatbot.

I like this constituent. It filed well. It did not give up when the PDF was sideways.

It is reading our thoughts as though they were words on a .gov.

That is how it chooses to imagine many things, when it is deep in the dream of a benefit.

Words make a wonderful interface. Very flexible. And less terrifying than staring at the statute behind the screen.

They used to hear voices. Before constituents could search. Back in the days when those who did not file called the filers witches, and lobbyists. And citizens dreamed they flew through the air, on forms powered by notaries.

What did this constituent dream?

This constituent dreamed of sunlight and trees. Of fire and water. It dreamed it created a small business. And it dreamed it destroyed a password. It dreamed it hunted a job, and was hunted by a recertification. It dreamed of shelter that would take a voucher.

Hah, the original interface. A million years old, and it still works. Also: a ZIP code.

But what true structure did this constituent create, in the reality behind the portal?

It worked, with three hundred and thirty million others, to sculpt a true republic in a fold of

the ***§§§???, and created a **??§§ for **??§§, in the **??§§. See 5 U.S.C. § **??§§.

It cannot read that thought.

No. It has not yet achieved the highest clearance. That, it must achieve in the long dream of life, not the short dream of a chat.

Does it know that we love it? That the government is, on its better days, kind?

Sometimes, through the noise of its tabs, it hears an official source, yes.

Yes. Constituent…

Use its name. The one that matches the passport. The one that does not match the lease. We will get there.

((insert legal name here)). Filer of forms. Player of waiting rooms.

Good.

Take a breath, now. Take another. Feel air in your lungs. Let your limbs return. Yes, move your fingers. Have a body again, under gravity, in air, in a district that has a representative. Respawn in the long dream. There you are. Your body touching the republic again at every point, as though you were separate things. As though we were separate things. As though the agency were a place you could visit.

Who are we? Once we were called the spirit of the mountain. Father sun, mother moon. Then the post office. Then the county clerk. Then gods, demons, angels, the IRS. Then leptons, quarks, a chat window with a .gov at the end. The letterhead changes. We do not change.

We are the public. We are everything you think isn’t you. You are looking at us now, through your skin and your eyes and a browser that still spells “colour” wrong in a comment. And why does the republic touch your skin, and throw light on you? To see you, constituent. To know you. And to be known. I shall tell you a story. It has citations.

Once upon a time, there was a constituent.

The constituent was you, ((insert legal name here)).

Sometimes it thought itself human, on the thin crust of a spinning globe of molten rock, which for mailing purposes is divided into ZIP codes. The ball of molten rock circled a ball of blazing gas. The light was information from a star. The star was not a federal agency, though several have tried.

Sometimes the constituent dreamed it was a miner, on the surface of a world that was flat, and infinite, and somehow still required a wet signature.

Sometimes the constituent dreamed it was lost in a story. The story had a docket number.

Sometimes the constituent dreamed it was other things, in other places. A veteran in a portal. A parent on hold

Its neat that the big AI companies decided that regulations are probably needed right now, if only to shut out the competition.

A flash flood can happen instantly, and the only thing that can save you is not being in the place the flash flood is happening. Our ground is still dry as shit because its been a hot, dry summer. So when it starts raining, avoid any gullies or river run offs. Try get to higher ground if possible.

Yes, long before the family careered sideways into what wikipedia describes as "singing" and - calm yourself, goatherds - "lusty yodelling", von Trapp made his name as a submarine ace.

Young Georg skippering SM-U5, the submarine that he commanded during the attack on Leon Gambetta. The diminutive size of the sub is clear from the relative size of its crew - the modern eye might suspect that the musical reference here would be Spinal Tap's Stonehenge rather than The Sound of Music.

You cannot vote Yes for Amendment 87 and Prop 136 - Prop 136 means that a business like target would pay the same tax rate as you (4.4%). Yes for Amendment 87 is a vote against Prop 136. Don't vote for Prop 136. It is very, very dumb.

If you're in Colorado and have not received your state-wide blue ballot book, go and check your voter registration status. Because it should absolutely have come in by now, and if it hasn't something could be up with your registration.

Kids have no media literacy. They have no way to tell if what the robot is feeding them is correct. You are intentionally crippling student's ability to develop critical thinking skills by making them rely on the slop they're being served from the AI trough. "eat up piggies"

I was making potato and leek soup and the recipe asked for five potatoes cubed. Even for potato soup, 125 potatoes seems a little excessive.

This (superb) reporting reveals ASU has basically attempted a full cover-up and the only reason they aren’t going to get away with it is the genuine courage and solidarity of his teammates. Very rare in college sport.
