iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

My system made parents sign an acknowledgment that they are taking on the responsibility, financially and otherwise. I made a point of telling them before the card was handed over that I will not tell them what their child has checked out. That’s their household’s business. (Was US, now not.)

No. It is the parent’s sole responsibility to supervise their child.

Except we can say without a doubt that AI is not cognizant.

AI boosters: the AI is self aware Us: so if you believe that, you believe you’re an enslaver Them: yes :) Us:….that’s bad Them: yeah, it is Us: so stop? Them: no

Always fun to wake up very late and realize that somehow overnight you’ve dialed back all the observable progress you made healing a heinous injury!

It’s not you, it’s me: I am very overwhelmed by the notifications and can’t keep up. Feel free to continue taking issue with my analogy without my intervention!

Anyone need a genuinely *nice* story for this Wednesday? "Takahashi thought the lost barrel might be adrift somewhere on the Bering Sea by now. Or, he imagined an 'Alaskan bear wearing my down jacket or like, playing my flute...'"

B.C. man reunited with beloved flute, 5 years after it floated away down a Yukon river | CBC News

Jun Takahashi was stunned when he saw the online post: someone in the Yukon bush had found a canoe barrel full of his mildew-y camping gear, and his long-lost flute.

From the perspective of someone who’s watched harassment of library staff increase—that’s the point. They want these spaces where kids learn about themselves and the world either destroyed or rendered toothless and bland.

It’s not lost on me that theatre is a refuge for queer kids, and they keep getting their shows pulled. At this rate, they’ll be cutting the programs themselves.

Go ahead. Unzip that. It’ll be done when you’re 127

Won’t stop them trying, though. Alas.

My friends’ mom had one and I thought it was the coolest, but my mom wouldn’t let me ride in it. She knew a kid who was ejected in a crash.

No more handwringing about “we need to understand how to use it because clients will expect—“ No! We don’t use DDT, and won’t work with you if you insist on it. No vague “there are so many ethical questions and we have to think about them” while doing exactly nothing. Just stop using DDT.

You have to not anguish about ethical uses of an unethical product. This is DDT. It’s poison, the people selling it know it and are pushing back hard against people trying to call it what it is. We did that, though.

This could be a blip. It could be the thing we tried, but we realized that despite interference from corporate interests, asbestos is not the way of the future, we should not give heroin to babies, and clackers are not good toys. You have to let it be a blip, though.

At one point or another, these were considered cutting edge. Aqua Net alone propped up an economy (I’m joking, Bluesky). And we changed. Not without pain or struggle or inconvenience. I mean, the hairstyles of the 2000s make me miss big hair.

Oh no, we can’t uninvent the backwards seat oh wait we did. Anybody still using hairspray that kills the ozone layer? Incandescent bulbs? Anybody laying down a sweet layer of DDT? My mom remembers kids chasing the DDT spraying trucks. You still doing that?

“We can’t stop AI! We can’t stop progress!” My dudes, ladies, and genderqueer buddies: we have stopped using a lot of things. Especially shitty things that harm us. Remember how station wagons had backwards facing seats until they realized that’s begging for injuries in an accident?

This is integrity. I hope she does well in her independent career, and I hope her departure makes someone corporate think. We have to do it ourselves.

Wow, I just learned that there are people who think copyright is an unequivocal evil and artists should give all their labor away for free, which like, yeah, sure, maybe if we had UBI but we live in the world as it is, do YOU work for free? No? Cool. Don’t make me turn off the comments, ISTFG.

We’re not here to re-litigate Aaron Swartz. If you’re here to point out that Aaron was a an actual criminal, I’m not going to debate you. But I do want to know why you’re not pursuing Altman et al with a proportional level of energy for the levels of intellectual property theft they have committed.

You know, the more I think, the more the condescension of this post aggravates me. You think we didn’t understand your bought and paid for corporate lingo? It’s perfectly clear. You sold out and you want us to not be angry about it.
