iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

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?

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.

Lol, I was just looking at the previous eps yesterday. Alas I've been way too busy to consider such things this time around. Not sure about Morgan?

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.

It has to be! Otherwise... Why?

Sure, mattress ads are great, but where on earth can I get hotel-quality sheets to put ON my new mattress? God, if only I could find out.

Not even sure it's the weirdest thing you've done in a reply to a post of mine.

I mean, look there are many ethical questions and even more social ones about the advent and widespread adoption AI... But I can't see a good argument against this specific use.

It's the UK/European artwork. Not my favourite, but the drink is good, so I'm willing to overlook it.

This comment sums it up for me. What good is an economy that crushes its own citizens while lining the pockets of a privileged few? #nzpol

"Try the new AI agent from Meta." Ah cool now I can let the only company I trust less with my data than OpenAI read my emails. No way I'd regret that.

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.

Daring comedians take on The Dice of Destiny (cue lightning crash!), crafting comedy on the spot in this wild, high-stakes improv stand-up show.

My friend Steven runs an improv stand-up show every month in Auckland called The Dice Show - highly recommended! It's on tonight in K Road if you're looking for an outing. events.humanitix.com/the-dice-sho...

I like this fish sauce idea! Adding a couple of anchovy fillets is pretty common, but I've never encountered the idea of fish sauce... Makes perfect sense the moment you mention it! See, we should all be allowed to watch you cook!

You can see in the shadows, and the reflections in their shoes, that there is some blue lighting involved, so it's likely that.

It’s only “rogue bot incident” if it started in the OpenAI data center. Otherwise it’s just “sparkling malware”.

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

I'm no demographer nor a criminologist, but I reckon that the Herald probably has Auckland's murder rate wrong here. I reckon it's probably lower than 3.6 per person.

Just as well US gasoline prices are at record lows, otherwise this sort of move would seem very foolish.

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...

The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)

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.

What is the imagined fraud here? They're fraudulently paying premiums but not taking advantage of any provisions of the coverage? Do these people even understand what fraud is?

My 17yo is planning to do computer science at uni next year. I've been suggesting she might at least want to become a little familiar with AI coding tools. She is not having any of it.

And I don't imagine I would ever turn up with an iced coffee, but maybe a can or coke or an energy drink. Is that the same issue? Sort of depends on where and when the interview is, I guess.
