iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Today in #AI land, a PM sent me a list of open issues generated by Rovo (I presume). The only thing it got right were the Jira work item names, everything else, the summary, reporter, and status were wrong. 🤣 And he was trying to ask why those people weren't making progress. Oy.

If we are going to have socialized investments in technology in America, let's have it run through our universities, rather than through crony capitalism with Trump's criminal accomplices in the White House. The NYT, predictably, underplays this distinction. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/14/n...

I don't remember who said it, but I've always agreed with this statement: "It's not about whether someone deserves to die, it's whether we deserve to kill them." I'll never understand why government skeptics suddenly turn government supporters over state-sanctioned murder.

I confirm that tonight SpaceX introduced a speed restriction on Starlink terminals while in motion.
At present, the restriction applies to the Star Shield
"military package" and is set at 100 miles per hour.
Our Defense Forces received no prior warning about this limitation, which resulted in the disruption of a number of missions.
Obviously, this cannot be a coincidence and is connected to the current political situation.

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

Trump: "Putin has no respect for this person." Clinton: "That's because he'd rather have a puppet as president of the United States. You're willing to spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish list, break up NATO, do whatever he wants to do." October 19, 2016. She was right.

As seen on @lastweektonight.com 👀 The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so we did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations: projects.propublica.org/rx-inspector
