iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

This is key. If one asks LLMs about topics one doesn't know, you get bamboozled. You have to ask questions about stuff you know the answer to. And only then will you realize that all the answers are made up the same way.

I read the short story in question. (The author has flatly asserted it is their original work.) Not only is it obviously AI, it's also bad. The sort of story a tenth grade student might write. I am embarrassed for the literary prize committee that felt this was good work.

It's a really good rule of thumb that no one with an active Twitter account should be left alone with children.

Whenever I see some talking head wank on about how they want to actively use Twitter, my only thought is whether they love the racism or the kiddie porn. I think for most of them they like the racism, but I certainly can't rule out that they like it for the kiddie porn.

Bluesky's Head of Trust and Safety handed his block list to a bot. 1,271 people blocked in eleven days. He says it never looks at who you are. Blocks are public, so I checked. Trans people were blocked at 2.5× the odds of everyone else, for posts of the same harshness. 🧵

Title card reading "Who the autoblocker blocked". Three figures: 1,271 accounts blocked in eleven days, against twelve in the two years before. 46% of the readable bulk-loaded accounts had never replied to, quoted or mentioned him this year. 2.5× the odds of being blocked for a trans-identified account, against others who wrote equally harsh posts.

She condemned the Biden U.S. arms deal with Israel, and as retaliation the Biden administration opened an investigation against her. The Trump administration is actually piggybacking off that Democratic investigation. Both parties are cesspools of Islamophobia.

for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.

I can have a traditional software program get a random number at runtime and do different things based on that number, and we still hold the programmer responsible for it. Try this: replace the name of the "AI" company in any "rogue AI" story with "a hacking collective" and see how it reads.

People keep trying to retcon Biden, who was a true believer Zionist and is to this day and has said that a bunch of times. Lots of US presidents found Israel to be a strategically useful colony, or keeps the donors happy or whatever, but Biden is a *believer*.

I believe that Peters is advocating for it. Executing such a strategy is a very different matter. But they wouldn't have to do it nationwide, hit city election offices in ten pivotal cities and that's enough to make a big difference - and that's ten locations. Possibility is non-zero.
