iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

This is exactly why I think, especially building on the anti-data center and anti-flock politics of the moment, there is significant political potential in "the right to an analog life," that is that all necessities of daily life should be equally available w/o the internet at all

It is kind of wild that for how into the 10 commandments everyone is that no one really agrees on where each one starts and ends.

this reads like a Douglas Adams bit. "Naturally these serious men measured their devotion to safety by the number of pages they wrote about it in a big book. The books got longer and longer until eventually no one could lift them." www.reuters.com/business/fin...

The company, which has positioned itself as a safety-first AI lab, devoted roughly 80 pages of the 261-page main body of its prospectus to laying out risk factors, nearly twice the 48 pages it used to describe its business.
For comparison, SpaceX, which owns xAI, dedicated just around 38 of the 277-page main body of its prospectus to risk factors.

Henry Ford rolling some Model Ts off the production line: these cars are going to be so bad, crashes, kids getting run over, horrible smog in cities, we will cut down all the trees for parking lots. It's going to be fucking wild. Give me some money

This is pretty good but unfortunately Critchley has the facts exactly backwards; LLMs are not infinite archives that don't forget. The training is precisely a forgetting that's why the companies are worth a lot more than the Internet archives. plus they have "weight"; like that is their whole thing

Ahem. Regarding the discourse, some of us listen to college radio stations, where we have entire hours devoted to Bob Dylan and others just of polka. So no I don't know the song

Very curious how this graph turns upward right around the time I started writing my first book. Not saying it's causation but...

Not even joking this was a big part of what made Derrida so effective and he also only argued with people who he took deeply seriously and respected

Ordered something online from a bike store and they wanted me to add on $1.75 insurance to a third party that would guarantee I received what I ordered. I don't know man, but I feel like the shop should do that for free

This! I was trying to explain to a student how the Great Recession felt like a cyclical crisis that while bad could be endured and didn't fundamentally change the coordinates of higher ed. This feels like a sea change and not, uh, a good one.
