Insightful article by @ednewtonrex.bsky.social . There's simply no need for the govmt to sell out UK creative industries: "Lots of AI – the type the government cares about, such as in healthcare, science and defence – is not trained on the work of the world’s creators." 1/2

Safeguarding minister Phillips has told BBC's Newsnight that "disinformation" spread by Elon Musk was "endangering" her but it was "nothing" compared to the experiences of victims of abuse. She is “resigned to the lot in life that you get as a woman who fights violence against women and girls".

Day 19 of my motorsport advent calendar. On the grid with Norman Nato, Callum Ilott and the number 12 Hertz Team Jota Porsche before the Lone Star Le Mans race at COTA. Sadly, there would be no repeat of the glorious victory at Spa, a car failure putting an early end to their US race.
