🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

The effects of AI feel a bit like the effects of Brexit.

β€˜The discourse’ is actually quite boring. Like we know it’s happening now… resigned to the fact we can’t really stop it…

I just want to project forward 5 years & know what sort of Brexit we’re getting so we can adapt & get on with our lives…

BBC Two - AI Confidential with Hannah Fry Hannah Fry looks at some of the extraordinary human stories emerging from the world of AI.

This series is brilliantly made. A perfect blend of drama and clarity. We need these stories told as soon as possible, to as many people as possible.

Illegal drugs have been bought, sold and used in the playgrounds where I grew up and where I live now. Under both Labour and Conservative governments.

Whats the point in Labour scaremongering by saying something might happen in the future when it’s already happening under their Government. 🀨

Frederick Wiseman obituary: towering figure of American documentary filmmaking Across a filmmaking career spanning more than five decades, Wiseman – who has died at 96 – refined a uniquely austere, quietly radical form of documentary cinema. Working without narration, interviews...

Tonight I saw my first Frederick Wiseman film. High School at the Watershed with Bristol Doc Club. Really interesting filmmaking approach. Very thought-provoking.

Feels spooky to read of his passing just a couple of hours later.

Rest in peace. I will learn from your amazing work you left us with.

Meanwhile really good films are being missed because they don’t have a marketing budget.

That’s why I like @letterboxd.social because the crowd-sourced reviews average out, to cut through the marketing noise.

It’s democratic what rises to the top. It’s a free β€˜film school’ recommendations engine.

It creates jobs but over time it might turn people away from the cinema. Audiences will become cynical. It’s the Netflix effect hitting cinema. Eventually people will assume things are probably mediocre and over-marketed, so they won’t bother buying tickets.

People are calling the trend β€œaesthetic trash cinema”. Make it look great visually, sell it hard, but story is crap, it says nothing, it’s only meant to be watched once, in the cinema. Money. Bosh.

Letterboxd reviews of β€œWuthering Heights” are making me laugh.

It’s marketed heavily and so it’s still set to make its Β£59m production costs back in just 3 days.

Bad luck:
- the parade tragedy
- Diogo RIP
- Guehi
- Leoni
- Isak
- Bradley (+ Frimpong & Gomez)

Results:
- lost the Shield on pens
- lost last minute to Palace, Chelsea, United, Bournemouth and City
- can’t beat newly promoted teams at home
- 2 PL streaks of 1 win in 7

Plus the Salah interview πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

It’s like Slot has been playing Football Manager and found last season too easy so he whacked it up to the hardest settings as soon as the title was secured.

The run of bad luck since then is just crazy. Feels like a truly cursed season.
