iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

There are two photos out of the 100k or so photos I have of my dog that I have printed and framed.

A brown and white and black hound dog in a brown harness and a brown and red and baby blue collar stands atop a pine needle covered rock shelf in the woods. He is on the right side of the image looking across it with ears perked forward and tongue slightly out, with the posture and look of a dog in a catalog for outdoor dog gear. Trees, mostly evergreens but some deciduous trees with spring leaf growth fill the frame behind and around him. He is utterly joyful.

A brown and white and black hound dog fills the left side of the frame. He is looking back toward the camera and appears to be sticking out his tongue. On the right side of the frame is a bright pink box that once held free papers or periodicals of some kind. It is old and stained and has "FUCK ICE" scrawled on it in large white letters.

An anti-drug ad that just showed a teen girl's face aging and getting more and more haggard while a creepy voice sang "how old are you now?" in the background.

"Winning is the best deodorant," Al Micheals quotes in reference to trying to get Cleveland fans to embrace Deshaun Watson after vaguely referencing the 'issues we all know about' without ever actually mentioning the dozens of sexual assault allegations and nearly two dozen related settlements.

And none of it matters because money can do whatever it wants in our political system and the tiny number of people who really oppose all of these good things fund the politicians on both sides.

There are two things to learn from this: 1) Third Way gets to present what the Democratic Caucus plans will be because they're the ones inside the room making them; 2) Dem staffers often don't realize that they're wholly captured by this centrist consultant-industrial complex. It's fish in water.

Without disregarding that there are real executive/cognitive challenge tasks, both this and the OP's example are functions of the US health care system deliberately offloading that work onto patients/payers in the interest of profit

like I hope it's obvious by now that all the "MeToo went too far!" bleating is because it got rapists in trouble and they don't think rapists should get in trouble.

Fuck all the way off, Senate. I have an idea though. If you really want to stage sweeping bipartisan interference in colleges/universities, how about doing something about the persistent toxic reality that rapists get penalized with an essay or not at all while rape survivors lives are ruined?

It really doesn't make sense to attribute those job losses to AI-the-technology, because if that were the case we'd be observing AI outputs displacing conventional entertainment products, and they're clearly not. Rather, the impact of AI is that AI-the-business is crowding out other investment.

One of America’s great wildlife recoveries is coming undone. Across the Chesapeake this year, Bryan Watts and his colleagues at William & Mary’s Center for Conservation Biology recorded the worst osprey breeding season they have ever documented.

Ospreys are disappearing along the East Coast. Scientists think they know why.

At the center of a widening crisis for one of the nation's great wildlife comebacks is a fish most Americans would hardly recognize.

This is a weirdly defensive take! I do listen to some country and I still had never even heard of this song, much less heard the song, until the headlines about it breaking this record. I'm sure it's really popular! Maybe it's really good! I don't know. I simply never encountered it, and that's OK.

Yup. I think they want to get to set the parameters to regulate the much cheaper, less power-hungry, increasingly effective international (particularly Chinese) AI models, and then set those parameters in such a way that those models aren't actually allowed to compete with them in the US market.

A woman was drugged, raped, and sexually trafficked to members of a fraternity. Two of the men involved were expelled. Five were given the opportunity to mitigate suspension by *writing an essay.* The dozens of other men who knew this was happening and said nothing? You already know the answer.

Stopping the merger was the only meaningful outcome. Their promises are empty. Once they have what they want, they will feel free to ignore them. I don't get what the point of the suit was if they were just going to settle like this for nothing.

Good to see this national AI conversation get going. But it’s still too much on Silicon Valley’s terms. The rest of us don’t have to act like everything is computer. We can talk real world instead of sci fi. We don’t need to put tech companies’ power and profit first, and societal impacts second.
