iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

You know, there’s a fair bit of generative art these days I like. It’s people using the tools to realize ideas that they otherwise would not have the money or artistic ability to do. TOO FUCKING BAD. It’s founded on theft and ecological disaster and it has to burn. IT HAS TO BURN

The main reason I haven’t written that essay on This Is What LLMs Are Actually Doing Get A Clue Folks is that I’ve concluded more understanding won’t actually help achieve the goal, which is to destroy Altman and the Amodeis and all their sycophants while it’s still not too late to fix the damage.

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."

Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

Mary reached for her pump action umbrella. A bead of sweat trickled down her forehead. “You know what’s good about a spoon full of sugar?” She asked, loading the weapon. “It makes the medicine go down.”

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

There's a shit-ton of actual anti-Semitism in the world today, but Netanyahu's fraudulent misuse of the term devalues it dangerously. Hamas is anti-Semitic and murderous. Netanyahu is a cynical, murderous shitheel. Mamdani is an American politician with a perverse impulse to tell blunt truths.

(reminder to anyone seeing this exchange that I never want you to be an asshole on my behalf so don't use this as an excuse to pile on. I just think that "oh, that's different" argument re: Google's "AI Overview" is an incredibly poor one, considering LLM use and overall design)

To be fair, the single most publicly-accessed example of "AI" in the world can't find its ass with a flashlight and it's right on top of the search listings, where the most accurate search result used to be. Every LLM suffers from token drift over time so it's only a question of WHEN they're wrong.

A thing I learned not too long ago is that when an LLM selects a token that leads it down an incorrect path (factually), it has no way to back up, or even know that it should back up, it's just on to the next likely bit. Literally every LLM is just posting their way through it. What an image.

Another example of why making TV is fucked now: Big Bang Theory's newest spin-off is produced on a "10 episodes a season, two years to make a season" schedule. Even the lowest common denominator Chuck Lorre sitcom machine now makes streaming shows at the same speed as Stranger Things!

people like my parents or people back home often ask me if the reason why the industry is being killed in slow motion is due to AI, and it's a 15 minute long conversation to understand the real reasons why, at the heart of which are: people who own TV don't make TV and don't want to make TV

I also like this explanation, i.e. they simply forget women’s sports exist when they don’t need them as a cudgel against trans people, because actually “it never occurred to a single one of us that a man would go to a women’s basketball game” is an even more stunning self-own

What boring and weaselly people don’t want you to know about living in cities is that there’s a very small chance you’ll meet someone who wishes you harm because you’re not the right race/creed/whatever, but there’s a much greater chance you’re going to meet Hussein.

I guess it says something that I found the massive storm in this episode of Widow's Bay far more unsettling than any of the horror elements so far in the story have been. This is probably the result of growing up in hurricane country.
