iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

If the main thing you want to do right now is to read a long, rambling, angry response by a non-Zionist Jewish now ex-Green Party Of England And Wales member to the not-so-hilarious antics of yesterday, then have I got the post for you: wayne.conniptions.org/2026/10/05/w... (It may not be, tbf)

The Green Party deserves thanks on two fronts. Firstly, for helping to bring down Kier Starmer's government. And secondly, for reminding us how toxic and useless some parts of the British left are.

And finally - for now - Carla (And I will note that I think thst motion E03 answers her trust that the party can write a good motion emphasising our values - I really hope we get to vote on it tomorrow!) #gpconf 3/3 bsky.app/profile/carl...

Blocked angrily by an ex colleague for daring to suggest that AI hallucination has in fact not been solved and their example of an "indistinguishable from real" AI-generated photo was in fact clearly slop. It's sad. This person was once very bright and empathic. If this is AI psychosis it sucks.

AI isn't going to kill humanity. It isn't going to become superintelligent. AI just puts shit together in probabilistic patterns, and our brains use the same mechanisms that help us see pictures in clouds & faces in toast & gods and monsters in the dark to imply there's something behind it all.

If your revolutionary new tech won't work unless you buy up the entire global supply of computer hardware and then some, that may just be an indication that your new tech is not, after all, so revolutionary, just stupidly expensive and massively inefficent.

Meta is a creep who will _never_ take no for an answer, and never stop trying to ignore their lack of consent. Every media & regulatory organization in the world seems determined to ignore this reality; I genuinely don't understand why. Today's settlement is so that Meta can keep violating consent.

In both the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, appalling abuses of human rights and civil liberties were done entirely legally, through capture of the political and judicial systems, and through reliance on the cowardice of those who, in theory, could have reined in Nazi and Soviet leaders.

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

This 'Middle Age' DLC sucks. All my stats are nerfed except Wisdom, but that's fairly useless now because without the others I can't actually do anything with it. And there's no way back to the main game! I'm stuck here forever apparently, unless I try the other DLC, but I hear that's even worse.

As *tech*, AI isn't exceptional. It's not exceptionally wicked. It's not exceptionally good. Take away the accompanying, galactic-scale stock-swindle, and we'd call AI's apps "plug-ins" and we'd use them and abuse them in the same way that we've used every other technology: www.normaltech.ai 1/

A carny barker waving his top-hat and selling tickets from a roll; his head has been replaced with the hostile red eye of HAL9000 from Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.' The background is a magnified, halftoned detail from a US$100 bill.
