Good to see space for these views to be explored in detail; a refreshing read explaining the bubble and how responses against AI aren’t simply fear…

Keep saying how bad it is. Point out the six fingers, laugh at the cognitive dissonance, but most importantly point out the fact that within all this there's something important that AI can never do. That there is something about being human, and creating human art, that it cannot emulate. 4/

I still think about the Sight and Sound piece on AI a few years ago which unquestioningly quoted a pro-AI screenwriter who said they had to write 50 scripts a year. 50! Scripts a year!! I also believe every producer worth their salt is understanding if live events mean a script delivery is delayed.

“Instead of saying a model is “good at” something, say what it is “good for.” Amen to this. Even creatives are urged to use gen AI and yet the point I always come back to is WHY use it. And the only answers to that I’ve ever seen are: it’s quicker, and cheaper. So: a win for bosses not creatives.

feminist analysis requires that you understand power relations and harms to marginalized communities, and fight to destroy those forces. to use AI is one of the most anti-feminist things you can do on many levels, and that’s why tech bros and AI boosters love it.

Still thinking about Joachim Trier's Sentimental Value. "You know, there's a big difference in how you and I grew up. I had you." - is a line for the ages. And the screenplay contains so many elegant examples of 'Let the audience add up two plus two'. Beautiful, beautiful film. #scriptsky

The 'give ice qr codes' thing reminds me of when Sarah Everard was murdered by a real policeman using his real police id to kidnap her, and the police & gvt made out the solution was to have a helpline to check that the person bundling you away was a real policeman (as the murderer was)

Unarmed woman executed by state may have been on committee to fight against unarmed women being executed by the state

🧵 As the cold spell comes to an end with black ice, Hamburg doing what Hamburg does best: community, resilience, ...building small snowpeople. By everyone, for everyone. After someone squashed those on the bridge, people were back the next day & replaced them. My kind of people.

African descended people are walking around with surnames like McCalmont and Mcdonald but you're saying it's European culture facing erasure 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Wanda Sykes thanks Ricky Gervais for not being there because it means she can accept the award on his behalf... and he's gonna thank God and the trans community (he won, she did) #GoldenGlobes

Don't get me wrong. One Battle, Bugonia and Marty Supreme are all good films. But they are dramas. And good dramas have laughs. Terms of Endearment was a great drama where a character dies of cancer, but we still got to laugh a lot, ffs.

"It was not Hitler who arrested me - nor Göring, nor Goebbels. I was arrested by the janitor, the grocer, the milkman, the tobacconist. They were handed SS uniforms, SA armbands, and suddenly they were gods." - Karl Stojka, Auschwitz survivor

40 years ago this week, Rik Mayall completed children's TV, with his telling of ', George's Marvellous Medicine' on Jackanory. Here's the whole thing in one video. I love that his voice for Granny is just him riffing off Ade's Vyvyan voice. I really miss him. Bastard!

Renee Nicole Good was not the first person to be murdered by ICE under Trump. Keith Porter was a Black man killed by ICE on New Years Eve. Silverio Gonzalez was an undocumented immigrant killed in Franklin Park. Marimar Martinez was shot 5 times in Chicago & survived. No one is safe.

“On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns.”

For those wondering what Mamdani's quote, "For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty," was in reference to...

birds do it bees do it even educated fleas do it let's do it let's fly into a window

And today in 'Art makes life better'...

Being an American feels like getting on a school bus and then your bus driver decides to do a drive by

So it's appropriate to arrest a world leader if you consider them criminal? You can just go get them? Just asking questions here.

This terrible news for female directors, the wider industry and for female stories and representation on screen AND behind the scenes. Women and girls make up 51% of the world population and yet aren’t given the same equivalence within the film/TV industry. Frankly, that’s archaic.

we’re in the cycle of the Chinese zodiac where this October there’ll be the Year of the Horse Horse of the Year Show

we did it! a perfectly structured democracy. it's got checks, it's got balances. this thing is made to last. there's only one weakness: bad guys. if somehow some bad guys who don't care about decorum got elected they could basically just tip the whole thing over. luckily such men are unelectable

look at some point you gotta face the fact that not everything is a distraction from everything else and there’s just a lot of bad stuff going on all the time

In a few weeks, Tess Daly will be revealed as the Secret Traitor, and the takeover will be complete. #TheTraitors

I used to go out with a woman called Jacqueline Hyde. God, the mood swings.

you're using a tool that fascism wields like a blunt instrument you're using a tool that guzzles more water than the entire bottled water industry you're using a tool that is turning your brain to mush, even if you don't realise it you're using a tool that is designed to fucking REPLACE YOU

Open up this picture fully. Then look at the surface of Mars. Then look up to the top right. Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky. Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos. That's Earth.

We are now at 75k signatures, with many messages of support on Instagram, Facebook and here. This is a genuine groundswell of love over hate, and a call to focus on the real harms faced by women and girls. Thank you all who’ve signed and shared. Let’s keep it going 💜 notinourname.org.uk

Me: Avoids watching Goodbye June because my mum died two months ago, so likely to be a bad idea in terms of emotional triggers. Also me: Decides to rewatch fun romp Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves, completely forgetting there's a plotline about bringing a dead mother back to life. 😭

Sinatra has gone woke

they’re all christmas movies if you watch them on your phone in bed while hiding from family drama

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 71616: If you're struggling to stay creative during the dark part of the year, go back to what you love. Re-read, re-watch, rediscover old favourites. Remind yourself why you're doing this. Find your joy.

'Listen to me as I come to your neighbourhood and tell your trans siblings they are subhuman or I will use the wealth of billionaires to sue you into oblivion,' is a very late-capitalism form of free speech right.

Jeffrey Epstein & David Walliams leading all the bulletins but Kemi Badenoch knows that only men from ‘different cultures’ pose a threat to women.

Real question is, if HC paid a member of staff off, why didn’t they drop him then? Ie continue to put other young female staff in danger FOR YEARS? www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/9197cdb...

Anyone can learn structure. Anyone can study the craft. But no one else has lived your exact life or sees the world through your exact lens.

Jo Cox was murdered before the vote by a far-right terrorist & this is the language this complete disgrace chooses to use

This is true, though I do think an honorable shout-out should go to whoever at Emma Bunton's record label recognised the brilliance of Marcus Valle's 'Crickets Sing For Anamaria' and got her to cover it 🙌

Studio heads believe "GenAi is so fucking magical and will take us back to the old days of smaller teams and shorter production times" when the obvious answer is either make a smaller game or Universal Basic Income 😀 But when the bubble pops, the artists will be the first to suffer, not him.

And now I find out that The Salt Path wasn't even published by a real penguin.
