iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

When I was younger a long distance relationship bothered me. Now that I have my own things and my own life it might be preferable. Let's live in our own worlds and tell each other about it.

HUGE: The Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes have both voted to impose a three-year moratorium on data center construction on tribal lands — temporarily banning dara centers on 8,000 square miles. The Cherokee Nation, Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, and the Kickapoo Tribe have all imposed similar bans.

Tom Morello is cool. I don't even know what he said but he's probably right.

I know dems talk about "purity politics," but that's not it. There are major historically important moral questions that we have to answer right now. If you are a politician and you answer them wrong out of political expedience you can't be trusted. Simple as.

People like Elon Musk who view human beings as a “biological boot loader for digital superintelligence” should not be in decision-making positions that affect the future of humanity.

I say this because this is what chait was doing, and what someone was trying to defend.

The GOP doesn't advocate for a colorblind meritocracy. It advocates for pretending we have one by ignoring systemic racism. By taking them at their word, liberals cede too much ground, and wind up playing into their hands. Honestly it's starting to look intentional.

I heard a disturbing rumor that someone on here was defending Jonathan Chait. He's definitely in the "under no circumstances do you gotta hand it to him" catagory. Even if he sounds right, he's probably wrong on the big picture.

I'm reading more on the book of Enoch. So many academic books that sell for $150 used. I need a big city library near me.

I fell down a wiki hole about patent medicine a while ago. Radithor was the most extreme, but there were some doozies. We got a lot of soda brands from those days.

Our tech overlords want to sacrifice God knows how many millions of people to climate change so they can build a robot God and transfer their souls to the internet.

The people who tell us ai will wipe out humanity joined a racist cult because they liked an extremely long piece of Harry Potter fan fiction. Remember that when the government bail outs come.

For me it's a touch of extra resentment, like I had something beautiful unjustly taken from me.
