iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I really loathe how I'll go out of my way, even insofar as paying a little bit more, to find a decent company that provides a decent service, only to then end up seeing it bought by a shitty company that turns it into a shitty service. Energy Locals got bought by Origin and is now 1st Energy.

About thirty years ago I started arguing with people that the West was going to implode and China was probably going to be the next superpower. But I never thought the West would do it so rapidly and with such verve. We're really just gonna fascist ourselves to death in a giddy frenzy, aren't we?

Reading is good for you, but fiction has added benefits. So how does reading work in the brain? Why are stories so impactful? And why, in this era of book clubs and booktok, are literacy rates not ...

"We know that reading fiction can help to hone the same sort of mental processes that we use to understand other people including empathy..." This explains SO much about the broligarchy and their relationship to fictional narratives.

It's taken many years of experimentation but I've finally created a diet that is cheap, easy to shop for, easy to prepare, easy to clean up after, tasty, nutritious, healthy and that I've managed to inculcate into a routine. ADHD life goal, achieved!

AI Expert Reveals The Exploitation Behind AI

Again I'm going to reiterate that I think the concepts of PEBKAC and "just Google it" have done so much cultural and social harm.

You know you're a coffeeholic when you spill your entire cup and the first thing you think of is, "Damn, now I'm going to have to spend another ten minutes brewing a cup that I have to wait ten minutes more before it's at the perfect temperature to drink," instead of, "AH FUCK MY KEYBOARD!"

Just your reminder that Israel — a country the size of Massachusetts — ranks third worldwide in AI innovation and commercialization. Because they have a sequestered population to test it on. Another reminder that no one is free until everyone is free is a warning, not a slogan.

The Conversation pod this morning, "Can we ever fully trust AI agents?" FFS. The framing on this shit. Already telling us we CAN trust them, just not fully... yet. How about not fucking at all ever never? I haven't looked up who the talker is but I bet they have links to an AI startup.

Deliberately quoting instead of replying in thread from an account I can't reply to. How the fuck do you think they're using 'account signals' to determine, without direct evidence of primary ID sources, how old you are? Pixie trolls in the basement using magic wishing sticks?

On a positive note, I've now eliminated one more dairy item from my diet turning my lunches entirely vegan. I now only have one more non-vegan item in my diet: butter. This... this one will be difficult.

The lack of material analysis of so-called "AI" from people whose job it is to analyse things from a materialist perspective is... disappointing to say the least. Forest, trees or something, I dunno.

Maybe I'm naive and my understanding of these things is simplistic but I really think that you can't claim to be a socialist and use so-called 'AI'. These are antithetical stances. And yes, using 'AI' is a stance. Technology is not a Platonic form devoid of the material conditions which created it.

Djoran Keil @djorankeil.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Is 'box wine socialist' already a term? If not I'm coining it for leftist Aussies cosplaying retro coded anti-fascists with a neo-punk aesthetic whilst uncritically adopting and parroting mainstream liberal talking points whilst claiming a materialist position using dogmatic Marxist language.

too much?

An introductory slide from my Research Methods module, explaining how LLMs ('AI') work. The slide narrative is:
"
1. Experts like us
2. Create knowledge together
3. And share it. Often for free
4. Super-rich tech companies take our creations. Often illegally
5. Mince them into 'AI' slop + CO2
6. And $ell them back to us

Cut out the tech companies.
Read and think for yourself.
Talk directly to the experts - us.
"

I'm hoping that students might actually engage with the module materials and the expert lecturers rather than, I don't know, sitting in the dark on their own in their room staring into the shiny abyss.

(the implication that tech bosses should be put into a meat grinder is entirely unintended. i just wish they'd fuck off.)

(some of the icons may be copyrighted - many apologies to the creators if so: I got them from a google search so who knows what they've stolen. hypocrite much..?)

My Youtube Channel is doing exceptional well since the release of my last video on the Leftist Manosphere. However, one video is not moving. Which is a shame, cause I think its my best, and most relevant to the urgency I feel at the current moment as a Lebanese. Do check it out. youtu.be/Dkcwc0XfvTk

Discord rolling out age-verification... yeah, to the US, so suddenly it's news because only the fucking US matters. AV has been enforced on others for months now. And the, "most users won't have to verify" thing... yeah, because they've literally monitored your fucking input and applied 'AI' to it!

Socialist Zoom tonight on so-called 'AI' in the military and judging by past similar events, I'm expecting entryists. Already got my hackles up about one of the speakers who is listed as, "Speaker from AI Safety Symposium," whereas the others are named. What's the bet they're a d/boomer?

Yay! Not COVID, flu. I spent all of 30 mins sharing the same air as people over the course of the last week. Twenty of those were at a GP clinic where I was likely exposed. Weird that where we go to get better can also be where we contract illnesses. You'd think we'd have addressed this by now...

as a hater let me acknowledge something ai is good at: producing irritating discourse at scale this is usually because, like "ai" itself, people are talking about different things like they are one thing so let me disentangle, with statements numbered for easy disagreement

I think I'm going to have to abandon New Scientist. They're all, "AI is terrible... for some things but amazing for others!" I feel like I'm back in the 19th century hearing from people who should know better all about how awesome, despite the racism, phrenology is.
