iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I keep seeing the dada toilet popping up on my timeline and it's reminding me... very occasionally I will see game designers talking about the concept of High Art aspirationally. Usually in context of like 'games free from corporate interference'. And it's VERY funny as someone w/ an art degree

Deeply disturbing police brutality against an anti AI protest in Montreal, Canada a few weeks back. At this point, if you use AI and LLM, save the little white justifications you make to yourself. This is what you align with, like it or not. williamwilsonphotography.substack.com/p/montreal-p...

Montreal Police Beat and Hospitalized a Photojournalist (me) at an Anti-AI Demonstration

I was diagnosed with a concussion, lacerations and swelling. Police have opened an investigation into the incident.

is there anything more humiliating than realizing you were stuck on a puzzle in an adventure game for an hour because you immediately jumped to a complex conclusion rather than just trying the most obvious thing that came to mind

RS34's games are rooted in the "caravan" formula - enemies come in formations, and you get more enemies (and points) if you defeat each formation fast. Caravan shmups have more stuff than what you can destroy in one run, so you have to filter out the less lucrative options to avoid being overwhelmed

I frequently see "AI" boosters implying that LLMs are simply an innate and superior part of coding now, inescapable, and that literally all programmers agree with them. And, well. That, too, is a form of propaganda

Looking at my software peers in 2026 I see fatigued faces, I see frustration, and I see a lot of people looking for a way out of an industry that seems poised on the brink of collapse. LLMs are being pushed on us at every turn, most people seem at best frustrated by them, and ultimately they seem to appeal most to people who see the production of software as a purely mechanical means to an end. They are antithetical, however, to the idea of software as a craft, or something requiring both initial and ongoing care. As an expression of the soul.

My first story on the health beat is about the law that keeps 90% of Ontario's healthcare workers from being able to take strike action. It's being challenged by the Ontario Nurses' Association, but in the meantime, unions like CUPE say employers rely on the law to avoid bargaining in good faith.
