iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

so, I don't really care for the way prisons function, the harm they cause, so on and so on. but the failure of the justice system is kinda... there's a reason we decide as a society (in theory) if you do x, you get y punishment. when that social contract breaks down...

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Check out this big shell I found at the beach :D (it wasn't a competition, but I won at finding shells)

A conch shell, around 7cm long :) it's complete and has no broken off bits, just a couple of surface chips.

I wish sometimes the term "social construct" hadn't become so widely known. It gets used to imply something's not real, however, the following are social constructs: Gender Sex Race Nationality Religion Money Language Music Colour Time Only have meaning because society says so.

So this is one of the things which got me with Zuckerberg's stupid AI is the future post. How tf is AI going to lead to everyone having fun new businesses, if everyone is using the same AI? It offers nothing unique.

Tbh it's hard to be on social media. I'm so tired. I'm closing myself off a lot. I even lost the energy to play ffxiv, because even though the people in my fc are nice and good... fucking managing the emotions of the randoms in fl is gonna be draining

companies are sourcing millions of printed books for AI labs that scan them for training data, then destroy them. printed books are more valuable because they're free of AI slop, and AI labs know destroying them is an "optics problem." www.404media.co/ai-companies...
