What Moran reported was demonstrable fact. Indisputable fact. Yet they suspend him. This is the advantage that Trump and his ilk have. They are so beyond the moral pale, so beyond normality, that it is considered impolite, impolitic, or intemperate to describe them as they are.

On June 6, 1944, thousands gave their lives for freedom. In 2025, we face a serious threat: tech fascism. We do not need to die. We just need to be 10% as courageous as those who fell. These are scary times. But never doubt that we can win.

The Pope gets it. The most important question about AI isn’t a technical question. The most important a question is about how to maintain and grow a just society in the age of AI.

As feared, SoundCloud today confirmed they may train generative AI models on users’ music in future. The ‘opt-out’ they commit to in this new statement would be totally unfair on artists, shifting the burden onto them to tell SoundCloud not to train on their music. 🧵 1/2

🚨 Very important vote on AI & copyright in UK parliament next week - please contact your MP (template letter below) ⬇️ Baroness Kidron added common-sense amendments to a bill, requiring overseas AI cos to respect UK copyright law if they want to operate here. Incredibly, the govt removed these. 🧵

What I spent my day making for Krissy, because it's her birthday and she's traveling and I miss her, and also this is more personal than getting her an electronic gift card or some such. She liked it; maybe you'll like it too. youtu.be/pPClfAbEdY0
