This looks very worrying An organisation that has been unfit for purpose being trusted to reinvent itself with sadly predictable results If the government go along with this then they will be to blame for more teachers and lecturers leaving the profession www.theguardian.com/education/20...

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product. On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

Artificial intelligence companies out to get governments to legislate so they can steal authors, playwrights and composer’s work lobbing their toys out of the pram because some other artificial intelligence companies have allegedly stolen their intellectual property is frankly lush😂

AI and the algorithms wont be writing (or more importantly pushing) progressive or left of centre songs anytime soon A Labour government selling out creatives is something that will in all probability bite them on the arse sooner than they think www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

They announced just last week that AI will be “mainlined into The UK’s veins” I voted for them but if it’s going to take them three years to work out what’s wrong with social care they might struggle with the pace of change on display here www.theguardian.com/business/202...

A Labour government gets a venture capitalist to write a proposal for copyright theft as a business model and then makes it a flagship policy for getting the country out of the shit They seem to be going from being a disappointment to becoming a threat www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

While many uses of AI absolutely boil my piss, there’s a danger of assuming that everything labelled “AI” is inherently bad, and will either produce generic art or terrible music or do a shit job of summing up meetings ->

Art should be funded like science. To properly fund art, you fund failure. Funding failure will give you occasional excellence. Creating any art with the aim of it being popular enough to make money, will give you consistent mediocrity. Arists need funding to play and fail because that's the process

A bit about me, about coming from the working class; how it affected my world view. Relevant as we enter an uncertain 2025; the marginalisation of the poor has always been cynically weaponised by the far right, but it seems particularly acute now. richpancost.blogs.bristol.ac.uk/2021/05/15/a...

If you played an instrument back in high school and stopped: we are in a golden age of decent cheap instruments. The guitars are better, the amps are better. The pedals are cheaper, the wind instruments are actually instruments and not just shaped like them, etc. Jump back into it.
