iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I'm off work for just over a week & I'm going to Hawaii. 🌺 It's a decades-long bucket list item (to visit every state in the union) & I'm finally going. 🗺 Whoot whoot! ✈️

Another flatworm! Not based on a real species this time; I just wanted to try one using this lovely ombre yarn I have - and give it an EXPONENTIALLY INCREASING WIBBLE [ #crochet #amigurumi #worm #flatworm #platyhelminthes #hyperboliccrochet #commsopen ]

A crocheted flatworm with very wibbly sides and two horn-like points at the front. Its colours are a gradient, starting purple in the very middle, then shifting through dark blue, turquoise, mid green and finally light green at the very edges. Subsequent photos show the same flatworm from different angles and with different wibble poses.

Without this, human existence decays into meaningless distraction, forcing the technological system to use psychological engineering or chemical pacification to keep an increasingly superfluous population compliant. -Ocs 26

Even in a scenario where AI smoothly provides for all basic needs, he argued that automating thought, labor, and problem-solving deprives humans of the "power process"—the psychological necessity of setting real goals, exerting effort, and facing genuine stakes.

In Kaczynski's view, this technological supremacy leaves humanity facing two equally grim fates: either an elite class uses intelligent automation to make the general population obsolete, or control is yielded entirely to autonomous machines, reducing humans to passive biological pets.

At that point, turning the automated system off would lead to instant social collapse, permanently surrendering ultimate decision-making power to machines.

As machine-made decisions consistently yield better or faster results than human choices, complex global infrastructure will eventually become impossible for human minds to manage or comprehend.

He argued that humanity wouldn't be violently conquered in a sci-fi robot uprising, but would instead drift into a trap of voluntary dependence.

Theodore Kaczynski directly addressed artificial intelligence in his 1995 manifesto, Industrial Society and Its Future, viewing it not as a benign tool, but as the ultimate, logical endgame of the industrial system: the total erasure of human autonomy.

🤖 H/T OS 😶‍🌫️ Remember that unpleasant Ted Kaczynski guy? I got curious about what his thoughts would have been on AI - I didn’t have to look far. I didn’t read the entire manifesto from 1995, so I had an AI help me through his rumination on it. I’m keeping my article short - it’s a bit chilling…

This hits home.

It's true tho. That merry-go-round and seesaw gave the US government one USGC tactical law enforcement boarding officer and one SF sigint collector from my family alone. And a few helpings of ptsd no doubt.

When did INSIDER TRADING become legal? It used to be a Federal crime with up to 25 years in prison. Mike Johnson said he needs to trade on inside information to pay his bills, like every other person in Congress. Law breaking Speaker of the House, third in line for the Presidency. CREEPY.

Last year, Trump signed executive orders to fast-track AI data center construction and weaken state-level AI regulations. Now a new AI industry group says it will spend $100M+ on the midterms to push Trump's AI agenda. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction. Be warned.
