iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

It's just SO much money to spend on an accessory. I don't think I'll ever understand it. I feel the same about luxury cars and so many other things.

People make the same predictions about "personalised movies" — absolute numbbrained bullshit. But I guess what do you expect from people who "fixed" the "eating problem" by creating a nutritionally perfect grey slop so that they didn't need to actually bother with eating real food?

A lot of panic and hand waving from right-coded political people about the prospect of Chlöe Swarbrick as Minister of Finance... Honestly can't see any reason why. Why would they suggest Nicola Willis is somehow uniquely better suited? Chlöe is clearly very smart and well informed. It's silly.

Nothing angers me more than when a rich person says they are happy to be taxed more and people say “why don’t you write a check to the government” motherfucker they want everyone in their tax bracket to also write a check to the government because that’s how maths works you fucking numpty.

This is making the rounds but be aware: it's A.I. slop! First: having those big trucks with tanks full of fuel going that fast off-terrain seems highly unrealistic. But there's also a SUV and a guy appearing all of sudden and walking in the middle of it at the 17 second :P So yeah, don't fall for it

Meta's platforms have repeatedly been caught running ads for deepfake "nudify" apps that let you virtually undress real people without their consent, but they won't run an a trailer for an upcoming documentary that reflects poorly on Elon Musk. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

Iced coffee commentary seems so stupid. I've been interviewed for jobs and I have interviewed people for jobs... And I doubt I'd even have really clocked it if someone I was interviewing brought an iced coffee or some other drink. It's so immaterial.

Sometimes the questions TikTok asks are a *little* unnerving...

TikTok question after a video.

"Do you personally know the creator of this video?"

The options are:
"Yes, we are friends outside TikTok"
Or
"No, we are not friends outside TikTok"

it really needs to be more openly discussed that all the people advocating for “we should be fine with losing basic skills if we get more systems thinking” are men, meaning socialized to expect to be able to offload basic tasks of daily living onto a wife as part of their compensation for existing

This sort of thing is why Mighty Ape is dead to me now. I have never seen this camera, but I can confidently say it does not shoot 5K in any meaningful way. It will be, essentially, a dashcam in a camera-looking body. It's junk. It will sound terrible. This is not starting "creator life"

Once again, speaking as a professional archaeologist: "English" is not an ethnicity in any meaningful sense. You only have to go back about 1,000 years before everyone in Europe has the same group of common genealogical ancestors. Humans have lived on the British Isles for almost a million years.

I'm constantly baffled by this one. Like, I struggle to believe that people who claim to understand capitalism actually believe this, but they seem to. It absolutely might work if we had the sort of 'mom and pop' small business capitalism people imagine in a non-specific way...

It's such a fucking weird sales pitch. They aren't saying "hey, we need support so we can decommission this stuff in a controlled way" or something. Instead, it's "we have no idea how bad this stuff could be, but we think it might kill us all, anyway we need more money to keep doing it, lol"
