iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

If your favorite business has a bunch of AI slop on its website, scroll down to see if there's a web developer credit on the bottom. I was just checking out an event website and did this -- the web dev's examples were all loaded with slop images. The business owner may not even be aware.

Tangent to this, did anyone who corrected the allocation on their claim get any communication over the past few weeks? I mistakenly put 100% to start (thought it was about co-writers), corrected it in early Sep, and haven't heard a thing since. When I checked the portal, it still showed 100%.

Being Human: Aidan and Josh

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula. (Being Human - US version is one of the most underrated shows of the past 10-15 years)

Every time I see him pop up on TV or on socials, I thought "did we all forget he's a terrible person?" But Michael Jackson is still celebrated, so yeah, we do forget.

Discoverability for new SFF books seems way down these days, especially outside of bestsellers and certain subgenres. I'm noticing this as both a reader and a writer. Great stuff is in danger of sinking without a trace. Please post about new/recent books you love or are excited for!!! I'll start:

Seriously though WHY. Meta isn't the VERY last company that I would trust to touch any serious aspect of my life, but that's only because Palantir exists.

I have a lot to say about the Cornell case, but I'm largely keeping it on the inside, since I'll be honest: I find it triggering. But I have one specific ask: parents, talk to your sons. Talk to them and make sure they understand accountability. Talk to them about consent. Do it now.

Went to a theater to see Princess Mononoke. Haven't seen it start to finish in years (I've seen it in pieces as kiddo watched it) and I feel like I picked up on so many themes I just missed before. Oddly enough, I felt a deep connection between it and Twin Peaks: The Return's famous episode 8.

Every day, more info reinforces my theory that the whole "AI is inevitable" tech cult is driven by a whole generations of men never learned to deal with the rejection they faced as kids. It's rejection sensitive dysphoria amplified and exploitated by oligarchs.

I saw a poll that had the Sharks among the most hated NHL teams and 1) why do you hate fun (I know why) 2) listen we had Luke Kunin on the power play for a few years, we earned our good vibes

I bet what happened is that DC's Legends of Tomorrow was on that list, but then the Legends broke time when celebrating and wound up accidentally removing themselves.

Democrats are afraid to take on Elon Musk, somewhat understandably, But this is the opportunity of the century if Democrats can get right on data centers and turn all that energy against Elon Musk and his hatred of his own kid.

Their argument is constantly "no one needs to learn the fundamentals, just use our shit and give us money" In my engineering program, the message was always "we teach you the fundamentals because they teach you how to think like an engineer"

I realized tonight that my version of "physiological response to long-term stress" is the urge to watch Star Trek while thinking "I really, really, really wish I could live in Star Trek" Related, tonight I watched TNG - Sarek, one of Patrick Stewart's all-time great performances.
