The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

All you are saying is that you want to gatekeep creativity. That's not good.

Neuroscientist here... creativity is a process. A process. A FUCKING PROCESS. Not an output.
Nobody is gatekeeping the process - Al simply invites you to skip to the end, to the output. Which, as mentioned, is not creativity.
Nobody cares if the output is aesthetically pleasing, because the process, the act itself, the limitation of a single human mind and the resulting creations that capture that one single inimitable human experience... is what makes a creation worth paying attention

Robert Jenrick Robert Jenrick complained of v 'not seeing another white face' in Birmingham neighbourhood Shadow justice secretary criticised for suggesting he could tell how integrated Handsworth was based on short visit

And yet, if anyone in the press calls this racist (which it patently is), they’ll face more outrage than the man who lamented a shortage of white faces.

So we’ll politely rebrand it as “unwise,” perhaps “ill-judged,” or “not in keeping with the spirit of inclusivity.”

Sick. To. The. Back. Teeth.

"Are you scared yet?"

Did you know the US Justice Department published a study that found 'far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left extremists.'

They've just deleted it.

Australia were absolutely robbed, this would've won last night if it got through to the final of #Eurovision, they out-weirded Europe and it's a banger.

Shame on #Currys for forcing customers to buy their expensive £569 #Switch2 mega bundle by artificially putting the base model and MKW bundle out of stock!

Surely that's not in line with Nintendo's wishes?
