My #weekendread engaged my #data love and #gamification brain, too. Spiegelhalter does an excellent job of keeping it interesting while still doing the math sometimes. Essential for those who think about uncertainty all the time. #handraised #Book amzn.to/4606t4U

Massive respect for #MassiveAttack More #music artists leave #Spotify. Why can’t the Spotify CEO be happy with his enormous success? Why does he need to invest in deadly #AI tech? When will we re-normalize the idea of ‘enough’ financial success? #aiforbad

I love #Medium but I got up an hour early to watch a session that was beyond incoherent. I tried another session and it wasn’t much better. #MediumDay isn’t going to steal much more of my time and it makes me sad.

My #weekendread cuts through a lot of the hype to provide a smart overview of the state of things in the Age of #AI. Barrat's careful to keep a cautionary tone when it's appropriate, and call out #BigAI for its flawed thinking and lack of concern for the public good. A satisfying, useful read.

Despite being a #wordnerd, I love that @michaelstipe.bsky.social won’t clarify too much. Elizabeth Fraser and the shoegaze/dreampop crowd cured me of the need to know exactly what is said in a song. apple.news/AOHHBDIk0S-y...

Yes, my #cat Wish enjoys a morning walk. We had a lovely stroll, listening to the @pivotpod.bsky.social podcast with @karaswisher.bsky.social and @profgalloway.com saying we need a company like @credtent.bsky.social to rally #artists to take back control of their work. Join us now at credtent.org.

It was an intense week at @credtent.bsky.social so my #weekendread had no #AI in it. Homo Ludens is a deeply academic #book about play and #games in human culture. A second read with notations is coming. amzn.to/4niZmM8

#Authors need to demand real money for use of their creative work by #AI. It’s good that Anthropic is willing to settle the lawsuit, but $1.5 billion against a $1 trillion possible judgment? Nope. #BigAI need to pay annually for use of creative work. credtent.substack.com/p/credtents-...?

I sincerely hope @authorsguild.org doesn't let Anthropic get away with a single one-time payment for the 7M #books they used for training without #creativeconsent. At Credtent.org, we believe in subscription payments for using #creative work for #AItraining. open.substack.com/pub/credtent...

Still working from a list of #books on #neuroscience, my #weekendread was an illuminating study about how our understanding about the brain has changed over time. Anecdotal and super-readable, it's also a sad tale of how little we listen to non-white non-men. amzn.to/4fE1xam

When you hear an error on #alienearth and then go to see if someone reported the goof on IMDB, only to find they corrected the speaker, but not the source #book. That quote is not from Childhood’s End, it’s from a non-fiction article later repurposed for a non-fiction book. #booknerd

So glad to see @anthropic.com doing the right thing and settling this case. #Creative people deserve consent and compensation for their work, plus protection against imitation. That's why we built @credtent.bsky.social and this is a watershed moment #creativeconsent. apple.news/Az9bcyvKPQma...

See my brilliant friend Dr. Maya Ackerman talk about how #creativity with machines isn't what you get from these all-knowing oracle machines that frontier #AI models provide. Instead, it's all about inspiring human creativity and extending artists. www.theaioptimist.com/p/humble-cre...

Sometimes, my #weekendread is just for fun. Klosterman's #book is sometimes silly, but it's got a lot of amusing observations that rang true for this Gen-Xer. A pleasant dessert tome. amzn.to/4mDPrkx

I love #boardgames but everything doesn’t have to be everything. #boardgamesky

I’d argue this is part of the reason why people are so angry and divided these days. Please #read more #books. They offer perspective and increase empathy. abcnews.go.com/Health/ameri...

There are some amazing #RPG items on @bundleofholding.com right now: Ironsworn is solo magic, Girl Genius to support the wonderful Foglios during a tough time, and a treasure trove of excellent minimalist TinyD6 rules. #rpgs #indierpg bundleofholding.com

My #weekendread was this buzzy social #psychology #book that I found highly practical in its approach to addressing ideology as we understand it today. The data seems to lean into straightforward assumptions, which some have questioned, but I found it useful. amzn.to/4oGy2cc

It also says “pedo” but who’s spelling? #sundayfunnies #sundaynight #dope

A quick way to get an unfollow is to spam more than three things at once. Nothing is worth four posts in a row.

Per my #clowder, this is the ultimate #cat toy. They LOVE it. amzn.to/3Ji7rlG

The gorgeous new version of Ticket to Ride from @asmodeeusa.bsky.social updates the card art, streamlines the rules, and refreshes one of the greatest #boardgames of all time. I loved revisiting this classic, and not just because I managed to edge out my wife, who was sure she was going to win. ;)

My #weekendread was another volume about the human cost of #AI. While the hidden people behind AI model optimization and safety is serious subject, Feeding the Machine was a more thoughtful survey of these issues. Adams' #book is fine, but not essential. amzn.to/3HkrP4Y

The thoughtful manner in which @baratunde.com talks about #AI optimism is inspiring. If you need a boost today against the #AIdread, this listen will provide it. #podsky #goodvibes podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

My #weekendread was a witty and effective way to explain the galaxy, which I read after looking into Credtent partnering with the Human Artistry Campaign (www.humanartistrycampaign.com). It's an amusing approach and blends the author's background in astrophysics and folklore beautifully.

Just under 30 minutes from getting to hear the new @grantleephillips.bsky.social album. If you don't know his #music, you are missing out on one of the greatest singer-songwriters of the last half-century. #newmusic #fridaynight #listeningparty grantleephillips.bandcamp.com/album/in-the...

But #AI companies have no money to pay #artists, #creators, #musicians, #writers, and #filmmakers for the #content that empowers #LLMs? It's the cost of doing business, folks. @credtent.bsky.social is solving this problem. Fair marketing pricing or opt-out free. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/31/t...

Watched the live broadcast of the @404media.co #podcast in #DTLA. Their reporting on ICE in #LA and the use of data to pursue innocent people is essential. Subscribe to support local, indie media, #Angelenos

The gorgeous new edition of Ticket to Ride from @asmodee-es.bsky.social is here! Can’t wait to play this with my wife this weekend. 20M sold makes me so happy! This is the #boardgame people should think of when they think of #boardgames, not Greedopoly. #boardgamesky

My comfort book and me. #comfortbook

Heard what you said at #SDCC2025 and #AI and art. We agree! Would love to talk to you about helping us keep @credtent.bsky.social in the hands of creators @realgdt.bsky.social - please DM.

Busy times so my quick #weekendread was this #book that reminded me how you can draw from entertainment for work sometimes. A solid #read that does help sort out the strategic uses of humor in the workplace. amzn.to/3ZKKNYl

Come on #creatives - signing up to protect yourself against #AItraining is a no-brainer. It's FREE to opt out and if you choose to license your work, @credtent.bsky.social pushes 85% of the revenue back to creators. 5 minutes can open up #passiveincome or protect yourself against #AItheft.

Had lunch with someone I only knew from zoom calls. They were as cool, charming, and wise as they'd seemed online, but seeing them in front of me was so enjoyable. Isn't that wonderful? Please be inspired to have lunch or coffee with a #virtual friend if you can. We need other humans #IRL.

I'll say it. The new #AmazonFresh shopping experience is great. It's kind of a shame that it seemed like I was the only one using the tech version instead of checking out traditionally. People just don't like change.

My #weekendread: Arata's debut is a tour de force. The stream-of-consciousness style is exhilarating, offering readers a visceral experience that mirrors the frenetic nature of our online world. This method provides insight into the modern consciousness amzn.to/3ZKKhtn#weekendread#books #readinglist

I think I’ve had my last @innoutburgerr.bsky.social meal. This state gave them so much and they’re just too greedy to pay it back. Good riddance. apple.news/AYGaCdTJ1R2e...
