iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

wow. you’re telling me the artist who once sang the joker meme lyric “you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me” is not a good songwriter? this is shocking information to me. i am very surprised at this news.

Every time I report a post on Threads like “wow, i really wish we could exterminate [ethnic/democraphic group]” Threads tells me it’s not against the rules but if I call someone an idiot Threads says “hey wasn’t cool, we deleted your post.” Big Nazi bar, I guess.

if you’re letting ai have any kind of access to your data at all you’re a sucker. it will absolutely misuse it even if you say not to.

Big shoutout to Jira for sending me a 1am Slack advertising their stupid AI chat bot.

What an odd moment in United States history. A U.S. president is running an overtly political camaign 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. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/u...

A Trump 2024 Campaign Ad Returns, Now Brought to You by the Government (Gift Article)

The ad, which ethics experts said could violate federal law, shows Mr. Trump vowing to “expel the warmongers” from the government and fight the “deep state,” even as he wages a war with Iran.

Trump is going to keep America safe from communism by selling weapons to the communists.

my mom was complaining that on her ipad on ios 27 you can’t tap events in the month view to edit them. i tried and, sure enough, you can’t. is this a bug or oversight by apple? this feels super not-intuitive at all. she has to get into the day view to edit anything. she’s right to complain.

One of my interviewers brought a beer and offered me one. The office allowed people to drink at 3pm on Fridays, which is when my interview was. The woman who would be my manager told him he could only bring it if he also offered me one. (I declined. Would’ve been bad time to take up drinking lol.)

People want to stop using human terms like “thinking” for AI because a bunch of delusional AI fans believe the computer is truly performing those actions now. It’s fine to anthropomorphize a computer as long as you remember it’s not a human and not engaging in human behaviors.

Vought is breaking the law but he is not “going rogue.” At his confirmation hearings, Vought told Republicans he would do this and they voted for him anyway. If they want to stop him, they still can via impeachment. They won’t.

i’ve never seen a headline about “ms rachel” that made think “now there’s a normal person.”

Threads has this cool feature where you can post something and then all replies to it require you to manually approve them. It’s great for situations where you want to tell a lie but you don’t want to have to deal with people correcting misinformation in the replies!

i think they shouldn’t do this. i think they should continue not covering his events. he doesn’t say anything of value to the people at them, and a blackout shows him they’re not messing around.

Baffled by this Ted Lasso plot where they can’t get a doctor to look at a player’s ACL. Is this some kind of British medical thing I’m too free to understand? Just go to an emergency room. Do they not have emergency rooms? Are their emergency room doctors not able to do an MRI?

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."

Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

noticing that ai fans seem to have the same sort of mentality as donald trump fans. very cult-like, very strange. always jumping to the defense of the machine for whatever reason, even when people have valid concerns or complaints or issues.
