Profit or progress? They often go hand in hand, but should they?

AI & The Creative Professional - brand new up Sunday 😍 @alicefraser.bsky.social

The brilliant Chris Kenna on why he and his team built a sovereign British LLM - Mother.

Super excited to have @davidmenkin.com on the pod this week to discuss synthetic voices, voice performer rights and AI!

I'm part of a new podcast with showrunner Kat Viken where we discuss the impact of AI on creative careers, with celebrity guests in film, TV, comedy and arts.

Check out AI & The Creative Professional!

You are probably more technical than both Alice and I - thoughts and feedback welcome! Would love to hear what you see and where your worries are.

Yes I agree - perhaps we should break down the terms used - which are commercial new terms and which are machine learning ‘old fashioned’ AI as it’s been studied earlier, for example. For artists, a lot of the debate will be around generative, but not exclusively.

As we approach releasing our first 5 episodes, here’s one more clip for you - showrunner Simon Mirren discussing with @alicefraser.bsky.social and me why AI is not art, but the formulaic nature of crime shows and AI cost saving can bring formats to new territories. AI&The Creative Professional ep 4.

Are you angry about AI indruding in your creative career? Studio head or small business thrilled to have the enhanced help? @alicefraser.bsky.social and I will be breaking it all down in your one stop shop for creative professionals and the AI curious. #podcast #AI

When @alicefraser.bsky.social and I herded our kids round @edfringe.bsky.social and tried to do some art at the same time 😆

Thanks to Daniel Kwan (Everything Everywhere All At Once) for saying this loudly to Hollywood.

I was on @france24.com French TV discussing AI and creativity ahead of Cannes Film Festival. If you want to hear a measured view from someone’s who’s actually in the media industry, not an evangelist or a full denier, follow along ☺️

Disappeared off this app for a while. I directed a short film! It’s ready! It’s a dark multi-perspective comedy about a conservative couple who order an escort for the night… but nothing is what it seems. #ThreeTheMovie #Filmmaker

Good morning! *fan scream* 🩷

@roywoodjr.bsky.social Lonely Flowers absolutely made our night in a cold, tough January. Thank your sir, from me and Alabama expat @charleskriel.bsky.social 🙏🏻

My girl made a movie. Watch out - she’s not gonna stop. See this hilarious, unique romcom this summer when you can! 🫶🏻

It’s halfway through the first month and it’s already a bit much, isn’t it.

I need to find a neurodivergent community on here. Where are my late-diagnosed moms whose neurospicy ways have crept up on them?
And you can suddenly see the traits in your offspring, with glaring clarity? (Both positive and negative?) I want to navigate this right. If there is a ‘right’.

Stay safe LA! Praying for the firefighters out in this. 😱

Very excited about my brilliant friend’s brilliant book!

Writers. Is it normal for outlets to want ALL rights to a story you write for them freelance? In perpetuity? Even if it’s a personal story? And also pay really low? That seems… not sustainable.

Excited to be at Content London this week. We all have to figure out how to go forward and this feels like where we do it!

Right there with ya!

👋🏼☺️

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.
