How should governments make us of artificial intelligence? This event in Manchester will help us answer that question.

AI is embedded into social media already and this template in TikTok gives you a glimpse into the early capabilities. It's not nearly the most sophisticated example, but it is part of the creator economy where template edits are central to work flow

Great day talking about the future of media in education with the BBC, MediaCity and @jisc.bsky.social

Great day filming at the EA sports FC #eChampions League in MediaCity

What a remarkable week of creativity and innovation. This was the Beyond conference in MediaCity.

How should the creative industries court investment? There is a strong feeling of needing to expand the reach of the sector and develop a sustainable pipeline for innovation to secure its future. Beyond the creative industries.

Great to be at the BEYOND Conference in MediaCity today. What is a media city today? Here are some thoughts. beyondconference.org/news/2024/wh...

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,628,447!

I am sure there is a big hole in the government finances, but it is an important question to answer as to how long a new government can blame the previous government for a mess. The Conservatives seemed to blame the previous Labour party right up to their last days in power.

The last post I made here was about Elon Musk and my support for his standing up to advertising bullies. I havent heard the interview with Trump, but it feels like a line is crossed in terms of how X is being run. I have seen lots of accounts deactivating and this feels like a major shift.

Big event on Saturday, the latest #TEDx at the University of Salford!

I watched the interview with Elon and I'm on his side. It's hard to know who is the Goliath in this situation, but his apparent, genuine, scorn for the advertisers spoke volumes. The world of social media is unravelling and, if Twitter/X fails, it won't be the last.

Free Your Mind is a new show in Manchester directed by Danny Boyle. It is inspired by The Matrix and sets up the idea that Alan Turing and Neo are kindred spirits. This theme alone makes it worth seeing. It's also absolutely stunning. factoryinternational.org

All intelligence is artificial.

Great to be at FACT Liverpool for their 20 year anniversary. When I first moved here, I soon became a Fellow at FACT and the rest is history. So many friendships made and amazing work realised.
