Something Very Strange Is Happening With Ben Shapiro

Slate

Last week, Ben Shapiro--editor emeritus of the conservative media organization the Daily Wire, prolific right-wing firebrand, and someone who seems to wear a blazer and button-up every day of his life--played a round of Minecraft on his YouTube channel. Often, the sandbox game is about the quiet joys of pastoral life, where players construct homesteads, rear livestock, and grow crops in a world made up entirely of perfectly equilateral cubes. It's also the best-selling game ever, which is why Minecraft videos tend to pop up on the channels of blue-haired Twitch celebrities, not a 39-year old political commentator who initially entered the upper tier of pundit-influencers as an anti-anti-Trump Republican who toured America's college campuses in order to argue with 19-year-olds about Marxism. Yet here he was, in 2023, doing his best to defeat the Ender Dragon for all five and a half million of his subscribers. "I'm still hitting the wrong buttons here, I'm not used to the controls," Shapiro said as he limply gestured his pickaxe toward a stone laden with glowing rubies.

WESLEY HUNT: I think what we're seeing right now is we are not serious people and our military is not being respected. This is also the same regime that wants to give Iran a nuclear weapon. So you look at what's happening in Iran and you look at what's happening in Syria, you're looking at what's happening in the Ukraine.

#artificialintelligence

Medicare Advantage plans increasingly are using artificial intelligence and related tools to determine which care is approved for coverage. Algorithms and artificial intelligence determine care in many plans and are driving denials of coverage to new highs, according to a study by STAT. The case for using AI is that the tools can process more data than a human can. That allows care to be personalized and delivers better outcomes at lower cost. The case against AI is that it uses historic and average data to make recommendations.
