iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Sure is a lot of unsavoury information about InternetNZ elected board member, Jonathan Ayling, in Dirty Work. Boy, I wish I knew how much money FSU, TU, and or any other group in the Jordan Williams show spent to get him and Brown elected.

My BIL was bragging that if you asked ChatGPT for the best attorney in his field in his state, it would say him. I said that ChatGPT was probably telling him what he wanted to hear, and he said no because it recommends him to other people too, and told me to try it myself.

Getting increasingly bewildered by the replies Bluesky decides to hide because low effort? Rude? Idk, but more and more perfectly reasonable replies to posts are getting hidden. It's so bad, every time I see the "hidden replies" section, I expand it because 100% of the time, they are fine.

When abuse or harassment happens it creates work and a resource drain - logging the incident, informing police, screenshots and writing up exactly who what and where. This is cutting into my lunchbreak at my regular job I have on top of being a candidate.

And I get the same vibe from AI proponents; They simply don't understand art, and think it's beneath them. They don't understand the appeal, they come from a techbro mindset and think art is a solved equation and anything that isn't photorealistic or extremely high detail is failing at the goal.

A little framed picture of Quasi. I will get it out of my bag, and stand it up on the desk facing the interviewers without further comment.

Quasi, a sculpture by Ronnie van Hout. Quasi is a large, detached hand. Quasi stands on 2 fingers. His pinky finger and thumb are positioned to look like arms. He has a sassy stance. On the back of Quasi's body-hand is Ronnie van Hout's expressionless face. In this photo, Quasi is standing atop the Wellington City Gallery, watching and seeing all who pass beneath him.

Also just pointing out that there are some hidden disabilities (like POTs, mostly affecting women) that actually do require the person to increase their fluid intake (in POTs, you otherwise have a risk of fainting). So you probably shouldn't give a shit about this.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

Idk how to say else to say this, but I joined the tech industry kind of later in life that most, and I came into it with so much joy and passion and care to share. And now, I have to sit and listen to people get excited about their little toys and brag about not asking other people for help.

Just when I think I can’t hate OpenAI and Sam Altman any more, new details come out about how ChatGPT helped a shooter plan one of the worst mass shootings in Canadian history in Tumbler Ridge, BC. OpenAI made an explicit decision not to report the user to authorities.

I'd really like to know why government departments are allowed to run ads at all right now when Nicola Willis has been condescending to all of us about spending, has forced redundancies through her budgets, and beneficiaries have been bashed to bits. Corrections is running TV recruitment ads ffs.
