My #weekendread is quite the tome. It's a defense of Enlightenment ideals that's deep and approachable. Pinker supports his arguments with statistical evidence and insights from great philosophers, tackling our tendency toward unwarranted pessimism. Highly recommended.

My #weekendread was an intro about #AI. For detractors, Between You and AI is useful. It provides a practical explanation of not just artificial intelligence, but it encourages exploration and learning that is vital for people and businesses to embrace. It's quite rosy, though.

Important reporting from @vtanger.bsky.social about #copyright and #AI. @credtent.bsky.social is here to help resolve these issues. More creatives, publishers, and data providers join the fight each day. futurism.com/artificial-i...

My #weekendread was this entertaining #book on the subject. While the style is breezy, the message is sound - we do need more social interaction to get the best from our brains. A solid, approachable read.

I like all of those people, but I think one of them would have been plenty...plus, @donlemonofficial.bsky.social is right, @profgalloway.com will love that you 'needed' three people to replace him.

Happy New Year! A restful time meant I just went through this #weekendread all the way. Good quotes, a fair number of incorrect stories (research!), and lots of useful ideas. Stoicism is handy in the modern world, but let's never forget the value of heart.

On holiday, and I'm working on some fiction so my #weekendread is about writing. While most of the sensible suggestions in the book are things I learned in college, a reminder never hurts.

Dear @pizzahut.bsky.social - please hire a #UX designer to tell you to let people login using their email address and not just their phone. If they already have signed in with their email address, your workflow does not allow access to their account. You lost a sale and probably a customer.

My #weekendread was Abundance, a passable book that compiles a lot of ideas that the authors talked about elsewhere. The criticism of the extremes of both sides is solid, but there's not a lot of coherence throughout.

Getting lighter this far into December, so my #weekendread was this memoir from Cameron Crowe. While the #book is a good read for fans of rock music and his exceptional career, it's more a high level biography and not terribly thoughtful.

For example, in this case this product used AI assisted art but the rest of the game was all human composed. We need to call things out when they are AI composed because we do analysis on web sites so people are aware. Thus, we need the badge to label work that you should be careful about trusting.

The #Disney #AI deal is more than just Sora with Mickey. It validates the future of licensing for LLMs.

And keep in mind, my sentence is 'official ones from @credtent.bsky.social', not official for the world. That said, our goal is to support standards to make things less confusing for people, particularly creatives who use our Human-Composed Creation badge to promote their work as AI-free.
13.12.2025 16:38 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0We're a B corp devoted to protecting creatives. Our badges are free, as are opt-out requests to AI companies. If you license through us, we push 85% of the money we source back to you. We also focus on creatives retaining AI training rights. So, yes, I want to promote our offerings to creatives.

Jane McGonigal is one of my favorite thinkers, as a fellow #gamedesigner and #futurist. My #weekendread is ideal for teaching the development of an open mind to change. Essential for broadening your mindset, like her seminal book Reality Is Broken.

My #weekendread was another #AI #book in the doomer category, but it's a useful one from thoughtful people. The warnings are important and there are solutions. Worthwhile #read.
