"Whispers From The Star" is from what I can tell the first AI driven Visual Novel. Not written or illustrated by AI, but the main character is literally an AI chatbot. I watched several people play the game, here's my impression.

Autists, like myself, are sensitive to many things. Most of us are empathetic and anti-authoritarian and won't obey rules unless they're explained to us. Yes, we have weird stims, and weird interests, but neurotypicals are not superior in any way.

The failure of the gaming industry, the failure of AI, and the failure of politics all have the exact same cause.
The "people in charge" only listen to "investors" instead of their (potential) customers.
This is why capitalism is dying to technofeudalism.🧵

AI bust began 2025, thanks to GPT-5

Efforts in the UK and EU to "save the children" are not that at all. They are efforts to control Silicon Valley's influence outside the US, because they are way too powerful.
I agree, but censoring content and killing encryption are the wrong way to get the Big 7 in line.

Can AI overcome age-gates?
If not, maybe this age-gating stuff will cordon off "bots" from the human internet and make the "dead" internet alive again.
If so, then it's only a matter of weeks until age-gating is too easy to overcome, even by kids, and rendered completely useless.

Got both cataracts removed. Now I have 20/20 eyesight in both eyes for viewing further than 3' (1m), which is awesome!
But my nearsightedness is gone, and I need reading glasses for reading or computer work.
Still adjusting to when I need my glasses.
