iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Since April or so, Instagram has been creating automated AI descriptions of reels.. and they add “sources” for the “information” and the sources are 100% unrelated bullshit. I shamed their AI for it and it claimed they removed the sources.. but I am not so sure.

Tom DesLongchamp @tomthinks.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I’m really confused about the argument to learn AI so you don’t get left behind.. but is AI really going to become more complex to use in the future?? Lol It seems like a bigger risk to rely on it. I like learning how AI works/functions, but I do not rely on it.

I don't know where comics come from, but I like them when they show up.

AI accelerates, but may often exceed meaning.

why does my phone and computer think "saviour" is mispelled?

i just felt a tiny bit old, because I realized my bookmarks panel in my browser was full of stuff I don't use, so I deleted all of them and realized I could hide the panel so now I have more room for internet. Reminds me of back in the day when old folks had multiple malware search bars.

Hey people of Seattle, I have a solo art show ANIMALS & PEOPLE up at Piano Nobile in Phinney Center. It'll be up till end of August, but there's going to be an artist reception/talk July 10th 6-8pm, you should come!

it is a good morning when you forget to drink your coffee, forget to put on music, and forget to look at the news.

The problem with scheduling is that I put things on my calendar and I have anxiety that they are slipping off the calendar or on the wrong days, which could be true.

i can tell vibe coding is working, because of how often I have to refresh a webpages to make them work again.

Wisdom at 41 is knowing that the sneeze that triggered your lower back pain is not the cause of the back pain. The cause is something you did yesterday that you weren't strong enough for.

Mom told me I should make some educational shit for kids, so I made this www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fkeb... And yeah, kids do seem to like it. "ABC Weirdness" is also available on streaming services and dynamote.bandcamp.com if you can't get enough of this dumb song. #music #dynamote #abcWeirdness

this is very bad news for me. I've used Adobe Flash/Animate for 26 years. I use it NOW for Cartoon Mess LIVE. I'm ok with support ending, but I need the ability to install this software in the future, and stupid Creative Cloud will most likely not allow access to installers past support ending. 🤬

Call me crazy, but I started a (free) substack and my first real post is about how I made a "friend map" to help overcome fears and forgetfulness that prevent me from reaching out to friends. substack.com/home/post/p-... #substack #friendmap #writing

I've been getting into making "challenging" music lately and artwork. By challenging, i mean difficult to listen to and maybe scary? But also funny too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cos9...

If I walk or drive, and eventually revisit an area I walked or drove—I remember what I experienced when I was there. Automatically!What I’m scared of is how much I experience without being anywhere and how I don’t remember any of it. Social media is being home all the time 100x so get out!

Tom DesLongchamp @tomthinks.bsky.social · 19/09/2025

I’ve been taking time off from live-streaming. I can tell that I needed this, because I haven’t felt much desire to do it since I stopped in July. Sorry if I’m letting anybody down, but I’m working on a lot of projects!!

Stop what you're doing and listen to Ladushki. I found this tape at a Goodwill and decided to finally upload it to Youtubes for your enjoyment. I don't know a single thing about Ladushki or if they are around anymore. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kAH... #foundAudio #foundMusic
