iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Just had the realization that I've been claiming free weekly games from the Epic Games site for near eight years now, and I don't think I've installed the launcher even once. Kind of wild they've successfully built the compulsive behavior into me without getting any money out of me for it.

Conspiracy Theory I only half-believe: This is about AI companies evading legal accountability. As in "Artificial" means man-made. So if AI commits a crime or something, "man," either user or software engineers, is therefore legally responsible. That or he just prefers words with fewer syllables.

A federal judge ruled that the Trump admin violated her order prohibiting overcrowding at ICE's Baltimore holding room — the very facility I've been sounding the alarm on after we saw this terrible footage last year. The judge is right to threaten contempt — the abuses must end.

"Your wood is wet" is one of those not-really-a-saying things people who don't talk to other human beings end up saying in order to seem normal. Like it has the shape of a folksy aphorism, but has no clear meaning. Implies context or cultural connection where none exists. Its as though AI wrote it.

Can't help but notice that in a song that keeps saying "Stand By Me," video features literally nobody standing by him. As though even in his most self-aggrandizing fantasies folk are still just trying to ignore him. Tommy Wiseau levels of "Accidentally revealing deep layers of your own damage."

I'll be honest, I'd tried using AI to help with a gamedev project I've been gradually poking at for a couple years or so, largely to see, fair as possible, what it could contribute. Only useful thing it ever gave me was a title. I haven't come up with a better one, but I can't justify keeping it.

I realize I'm late to the Ebeneezer discourse, but how do you even cast him as a "Young" Scrooge? Life expectancy in Dickens' London was mid 60s, so Scrooge's age is generally assumed to be 60-65. Depp is 63. The hell are we doing?
