iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Ok. I finally dumped threads and removed X. Threads is a Burnham and I’ve managed to stop even checking out an X post I see here. I’m not crazy about being in an echo chamber here but at least most news sources do have a presence.

After years of championing "free speech," Texas lawmakers have enabled a dramatic rise of censorship in Texas universities, banning concepts, canceling courses and closing departments seen as "woke," and even using AI bots as censors. All in the name of freedom. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

In other professors’ syllabi, the bot flagged the Pulitzer Prize–winning play Angels in America by Tony Kushner, essays by the Mexican American MacArthur genius grant recipient Sandra Cisneros, and materials related to a class about the Holocaust (that professor was told to drop material regarding Nazi persecution of LGBTQ people).

Putting aside the ideological slant of the new rules, the bot, like many large language models, seems to “hallucinate,” or make mistakes. The AAUP lawsuit lists texts banned for their “sex-based ecofeminist framework” and “gendered ecofeminist frameworks.” These phrases might sound persuasively like academese, but the academics behind the lawsuit had never heard of them; these concepts “do not exist,” the complaint says. Matthew Pehl, a history professor at Tech, told me that he knew several people who’d received reports from the system that were “plainly written by an AI that had hallucinated content or confused content from one class to another.”

Jon Husted took more than $115,000 from Jeffrey Epstein's longtime financial backer Les Wexner, including a maximum donation last year. Then he voted against releasing the Epstein files. @timmiller.bsky.social digs into the Ohio senator's troubling ties to Wexner.

Just having a HEAVY WOMAN or 2 on the show got it on FOX. They will make a controversy no matter what. If having a gay Klingon is controversial then there is no hope for continuing the visions of IDIC. Academy was VERY unfairly dinged because Miller and Musk targeted it. So we just get vanilla yuck?

Sam Altman said people are just gonna have to die in order to implement AI. In the very same week, Anthropic claimed it’s a human rights violation to be mean to the computer. These people need to be held accountable. They think lines of code are a person with rights but living people are debris.

He’s is still the most popular living POTUS. So hate away. It doesn’t change his effectiveness. I don’t get hating him for doing events on one day. The candidates have schedules too and there are a lot of them and one him.

Why am I not hearing from a Democrat’s mouth every day “Why are the richest companies who are building data centers getting the richest tax breaks from YOUR STATE?

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.
