iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

FOX has been amping up the volume on every pitch for years. It’s annoying, but then I imagine that there is a person whose only job is to push that button at the right time and I feel better. #MLB #NLCS

LOL, sure, return to X, where the white nationalist owner is telling people to put their credit card numbers into Grok prompts.

The only group more insufferable than tech people is anti-tech bluesky users, who have been coming back to X in droves the last few weeks.

And they’re just discovering that the entire world got rich over the last two years while they were busy arguing with each other about politics and AI.

And they’re very, very angry.

To buy stuff, you can just take a picture of your credit card, drop it in the chat and Grok @Bot will scour the Internet for the best deal on the item you want and order it

Note underneath it says "xAI explicitly warns users not to include personal information in prompts, yet credit card photos may contain such information.

Grok Bot's terms state that user data and credentials may be stored in its cloud environment and require human review for financial transactions."

There was a shared truth among my record store pals in the late eighties. Imperial Bedroom was Elvis Costello’s best album and the same goes for Can of Bees for The Soft Boys. @robynhitchcock.bsky.social

Disney bought Fox in 2019 so they could compete with Netflix. Since then they have laid off at least 7000 people, jacked up prices, repeatedly introduced ads until they're on every tier, and only last year turned their first streaming profit. The mergers haven't been good for anyone.

There is no good, practical reason why Meta glasses need to record video. They could be perfectly usefiul without it. The fact that the feature was implemented says a lot about the creeps who designed them.

They disinvented the VCR. You might think that the reason we don't have VCRs anymore is because VCRs were supplanted by DVDs, PVRs and streaming, but that's not the case. They had it in for the VCR from the very start, and they never stopped trying to kill it. Eventually, they succeeded. 1/

A 1960s family living room in which a mom, dad and two kids are mesmerized by a cabinet-style TV. The image has been altered. The TV has an early 1990s VCR atop it. The TV screen is displaying a cross-sectioned human head with brains and spine on display. A huge fist has materialized in the room, with bloody spiked knuckle-dusters, smashing into the VCR. The oil painting over the sofa has been replaced with a pulp image of a male head, its cranium removed and replaced by a dome. Inside the dome is a red eight-segment VCR clock, displaying 12:00. The background in the painting is a tangle of cassette tape. The whole image's colors have been boosted, giving it an overexposed look.
