Every day my feed is full of posts lamenting that 'AI' is missing the point because it takes the pleasure out of creative activity. But perhaps that is the point.

Such a fantastic writer. RIP
Sad to hear about the passing of Thomas Tessier. A fantastic writer of very dark fiction, THE NIGHTWALKER being a long-time favourite of mine. I had the pleasure of meeting him once but was a tad too awe-struck to ask for a photo. But what an absolute gentleman.

no great artists have ever struggled, a famous thing about artists that we all know. everyone prior to three years ago lived lives of luxury.
![the stupid 'talent is a gatekeeping mechanism' thread that's going around, three posts reading:
tired of having these arguments so i'm gonna lay out the STARK reality of AI for some of you privileged fucks:
1. "talent" is a gatekeeping mechanism that has created a culture of professionalism that is no less of an ivory tower than academia, a moralized proxy for access to time, training, money.
2. being poor means having to make hard choices like:
[a] drawing something yourself in a way society would call "bad" (i.e. unprofessional)
[b] sacrificing resources you don't have to pay a real artist what they're worth (or learn yourself)
[c] not doing it at all, or
[d] using AI.
“just don’t use AI” is a luxury position. when people moralize choices made under scarcity, they’re pretending the menu is the same for everyone. it fucking isn’t.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dei7f7zh74xr3hoghei6ke3d/bafkreig5uei5qn5bkwhgniorhoyesfs73ovo76xwfk2yxprmtnbde4cvp4)

I'm on team Gamer.
for this week's column, i revisited Gamer, a goofy Neveldine/Taylor action thriller featuring a killer Michael C. Hall performance. it's better—and uglier—than i remembered:
Gerard Butler's Goofy 'Running Man' Riff Is Better Than You Remember
Michael C. Hall steals the show in this forgotten and mostly fun action thriller from 2009.
