5/ In addition to the points made by the Committee, WGGB call on the Government to ensure that any remuneration due to creators through licensing models is fair and equitable, that an independent regulatory body is established to monitor and regulate AI expansion...
when senior talent is laid off:
- AI training isn’t ‘learning’ and shouldn’t be treated as such
The House of Lords has been absolutely consistent on this, and they are totally right. Will the government listen?

They say:
- the government must not weaken copyright law, and should instead strengthen licensing, transparency & enforcement
- the government should stop prioritising large multinational tech firms
3/5
They destroy the argument that big tech should be given the country’s creative output for free, and they lay out the case for maintaining and even strengthening existing copyright law to protect creatives from exploitation.
2/5
I'm not trying to lose even more friends, but I found it increasingly dispiriting to see even people I really respect in this industry advocating for AI services built on large scale theft by billionaires, and significant environmental damage.
Apparently, it's me that has to 'adapt.'
But why?
Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.
Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.
We live in Orwellian times.
there are like 50 people in the country who want the UK to get involved in the Iran War, one of them is Kemi Badenoch, one of them is Nigel Farage, and the other 48 are newspaper columnists

VAs wanted! Come be silly with the TDT gang in this stellar audio comedy!
I remember when ‘Brexit Means Brexit’ became a way for silly people to insist that they supported something they could neither justify nor explain. Obviously the context is very different, but something similar is already happening with the ‘war’ in Iran. And it’s mostly the same people doing it.
For anyone who would like the clip (including George).

imagine gulf states that are backing the WBD\paramount deal pull their financial commitments because a war is on.....that'd be hilarious right? right?
If only force majeure was something people put in contracts for times like these.....wait.

UK arts must not be sacrificed for speculative AI gains, peers say
A lot of people who want to make a video game, should try GMing a TTRPG instead and see if they find that creatively fulfilling.
It's a lot cheaper & faster to GM something than to make a whole-ass game, and you can get direct feedback from your players, too!
just a suggestion
Amateur hour.
I can only quote the great Annie Dillard and her magnificent "Pilgrim At Tinker Creek: "Fish gotta swim. Birds gotta fly. And insects, it seems, gotta do one horrible thing after another."
The money. Always.

Keeper of the Flame - A film from 1942 warning Americans how democracy can be dismantled from the inside. This scene was written during World War II. Watch how calmly the plan is explained. Ask yourself why it still feels current today.
Congress failed to pass the War Powers Resolution, leaving the door open for a prolonged war with Iran.
Now Washington is already floating billions more in military spending.
Democratic leadership needs to decide: are you funding this war, or will you oppose it at every turn?
