iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Every Apple blogger during beta season: “Siri AI is finally great, it has access to your personal context”.

Side by side squares. On the left, screenshot of Siri AI with conversation:

User: Did I get a hotel invoice in the last 2 days?
Siri: I couldn't find any hotel invoices from the last 2
days. I did find a shipping confirmation from
Amazon that mentions an invoice, but it doesn't
appear to be related to a hotel.

Small preview of an Amazon Email saying: Shipped: "Softsoap Antibacterial..."

Siri:
By the way, I'm an assistant powered by Al and
may make mistakes. Always verify important
details.

On the right square, butterfly “is this” meme where Siri AI sees the Soap butterfly and asks “Is this a hotel?”

So is… is “no” disabled? I need to enable “no” ?

An image with a green gavel icon and the text, "I have been convicted of a crime and have not been pardoned," above a toggle switch marked "No” which is…gray and looks disabled.

Should be receiving my Sony REON POCKET PRO Plus Sensing Kit which is: 1. A very Sony product name 2. A very Death Stranding product 3. Probably not nearly worth it. Stay tuned for a very non detailed review.

White or light gray unit with two flexible gray arms to put around your neck and a keychain looking thing which is the sensor to put on your belt.

Nice. Zoom is now using your forgotten browser tabs from when you join the calls to show you ads.

Screenshot from website:

Did you catch all of
that?

RE: irrelephant.co/@g/116720567277993181 Weird default, and now you can't send a paragraph cause there is no shift-enter or cmd-enter to just do a carriage return... Also, skipping backups is NOT obvious in this app at all.

My Uber gave me unsolicited religious propaganda which includes AI generated images.

Small religious propaganda booklet, passport sized.

The image (or maybe both of them) are clearly AI generated. The main one is some fiery inferno with a path, that seems to have been generated on early Stable Diffusion or gpt3 era image generation.

Dieu nous dit: « Car le salaire du péché, c'est
la mort; mais le don gratuit de Dieu, c'est la vie
éternelle en Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur. »
(Romains 6.23)
PASSEPORT POUR LE CIEL
LE VIRUS SPIRITUEL
Le péché est 100 % mortel.
Il te sépare de Dieu et te ferme la porte du ciel.
LE SEUL VACCIN SPIRITUEL
C'est le SANG DE JÉSUS à la croix qui est
EFFICACE À 100% et t'offre l'entrée au ciel.
Quand tu te repens (te détournes) de tes
péchés et que tu te confies totalement
en Jésus-Christ qui est mort sur la croix
pour tes péchés, la Bible dit que tu deviens
enfant de Dieu.
DE TOUT TEMPS, LES HOMMES ONT
VAINEMENT CHERCHÉ À TRAVERSER
L'ABÎME QUI LES SÉPARE DE DIEU,
NOUS VOULONS TOUS ALLER AU CIEL,
ALORS, COMMENT ÊTRE CERTAINS
D'Y ACCÉDER?
« Mais à tous ceux qui l'ont reçue, à ceux qui
croient en son nom, elle a donné le pouvoir de
devenir enfants de Dieu, lesquels sont nés, non
du sang, ni de la volonté de la chair, ni de la
volonté de l'homme, mais de Dieu. »
(Jean 1.12-13)

Ferrari’s mistakes with the Luce include showing it off with “nice” wheels instead of owning up to it and making a Dakar version

Yellow Luce with the ugly aero wheels, with the following features added:

4 “hella” type rally spots with covers that say Luce
A roof rack with gas jugs (to power the generator to recharge it in the desert)
Raised by a couple inches

Trying to read a forum post on how to change the shifter in my car and the word "knob" is censored 😂 My brain keeps replacing it by other offensive words

Forum screenshot showing a close up of a car console with a WARNING sticker about a random plastic part, the interesting part is the text:

37. Note... The next steps are for installation of the Function First shift ****. If you are installing the OEM shift ****, it goes back on exactly the same way as you removed it from the stock shifter.
