A friend recently told me, while we played the fantastic Remnant 2 (thanks @gunfiregames.bsky.social ) he’s excited for AI to “allow two people to make a game like this easily.” How do I explain to him that art has no meaning, soul or impact without human authorship?

Like I see something made with AI, and especially if I know it’s AI I feel absolutely nothing from viewing it. A person didn’t make that; it does not speak to me. How do I eloquently explain this to an AI enthusiast?

I asked him if he’d see a play authored by Claude, or buy and read a novel written by it. He said yes, why wouldn’t I? I honestly don’t know where to start.

Just rolled credits on Zero Company. It’s one of my favorite games from the past few years - impeccable Star Wars vibes and excellent tactical combat. Thanks to everyone that made it, I hope your furlough ends soon

US Senator Ed Markey is projected to win the often-bitter Democratic Senate primary against US Representative Seth Moulton, according to the Associated Press. trib.al/4P7umEE

I voted for Patrick Roath today! A long time ago, my grandfather helped Stephen Lynch get his start in politics. I’d be ecstatic if my vote helped end his career. He is not the guy for this moment.

I’m late to post this but I have to say it: I voted for Ed Markey today. I would have crawled over burning coals if I had to, anything to prevent Seth Moulton from winning. He threw trans kids under the bus hours after Trumps victory - complete loser behavior. That it all.

Ed is old. Very old. He needs to retire. That does not mean he needs to lose to a moderate asshole that would say anything to get elected.

This man should never know peace. People should find him, wherever he is, and make him miserable. Out at a restaurant, asleep in his comfortable mansion, I do not care. There should be repercussions for being this fucking vile. A 6 year old lost his mother, and this is how he responds.

Kudos to the Brown University students who are posting continuous live updates, spaced just minutes apart, on the campus shooting. A lot of grace and professionalism under immense pressure. www.browndailyherald.com/article/2025...

There are no words that will make what’s happening at Brown University better. My mind is on the victims, and their friends and peers that will live in the aftermath. It’s on my colleagues at the hospital fighting to save every life. We don’t need words, we need action so this never happens again

Even though I live in this country where this happens every day I can’t believe this is happening to our community. Brown students are the most thoughtful and considerate I’ve ever worked with - they deserve happiness and safety and every day this country fails to give them it

Rand Paul on his healthcare plan: "What if you could join Costco? Costco has 44m members and if one person negotiated for all 44 and they bought a group plan like Toyota or General Motors does, they would be the largest collective entity in the country. They would drive prices down by sheer might."

nytimes.comPanel Votes to End Recommendation for Hepatitis B Shots for All Newborns

“We know it’s safe, and we know it’s very effective,” Dr. Cody Meissner, a professor of pediatrics at Dartmouth, and he warned that if the vote passed, “we will see more children and adolescents and adults infected with hepatitis B.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/h...

View full thread

Cody argues that the AAP refusing to participate puts them on the sidelines and reduces their relevancy - the opposite is true: loudly calling out the sham for what it is, a political farce, gives us credibility.

I remain deeply, deeply disappointed in this man I used to have a lot of respect for. Dr. Meissner should consider resigning in protest and let RFK Jr replace him with another non-MD quack

nytimes.comPanel Votes to End Recommendation for Hepatitis B Shots for All Newborns

Cody should think about how his presence on the ACIP, even though he voted the right way here, offers legitimacy to an illegitimate committee. This decision is one of many they’ve made that are disqualifying - the CDC has lost all credibility

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI

Dare Obasanjo@carnage4life.bsky.social

A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees. I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is. So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise. If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1
