AI won’t kill creativity. Laziness will. Use the tools — don’t let them use you.

I think The SAY Award longlist is very strong this year. Loads of great albums, especially Andrew Wasylyk & Tommy Perman's wonderful Ash Grey and the Gull Glides On. Please vote for it in the People's Choice Shortlist vote: https://t.co/xQZluh1whO

"Disrupt or be disrupted" they say. But what if disruption without humanity is the real risk?
In my latest Substack, I explore why we need innovation for people, not just for profit.

What's the future of music discovery? How do you find new music? I value people over algorithms. I'm helping friends with Campfires, a gamified music discovery app in its own virtual world. We're keen to hear from artists: https://t.co/W09ZHTrr5f

I've strangely found myself drawn into Microsoft's $1M sweepstake, which is mostly centred around using Bing and a variety of their consumer services. Bing compares surprisingly well with Google. Check it out: https://t.co/4bQksTTIQP

Scottish Government: You’ve been handed a massive budget uplift. Don’t miss this opportunity to #InvestInCulture. A £100M investment could deliver:

🎵 Thriving grassroots venues
💻 Cutting-edge digital hubs
🎨 More creative jobs & exports
Here’s my plan: https://t.co/caK6CuHt62

In more positive Glasgow Subway news, I have secured an agreement from contractor Stadler to waive a £5,000 scrap value fee they were insisting on for the old Metro-Cammell carriages for any charitable or non-profit organisations who want to preserve them. https://t.co/5UIvJV5EjT

Whatever may or may not change, to be rid of a gang of immoral rapacious contemptuous entitled incompetent dishonest arrogant avaricious feudal sociopaths as a government, has to be on balance a good thing, doesn’t it?

Yesterday morning I got asked the real serious question of this election -

Is the UK full?

[Armando Iannucci @Aiannucci]

6 Chancellors in 6 years. 6 Health Secretaries in 5. 9 Education Secretaries in 9. If they were a Head Teacher, their school would be in Special Measures. If they ran a branch of a bank, they’d be under arrest. A disgraceful rabble unfit for office: take them away!

A nice touch, spreading the word of new @GlasgowHeritage podcast. First episode launched last week with wonderful Jackie Ogilvie of @GLCTours leading Co-hosts @MurphyNiallGLA @fay_young through Central’s heart & soul
Who is tomorrow’s guest on #ifglasgowswallscouldtalk3 ?

My new blog post. Can live streaming protect your job from AI?

[Inner Ear @innerearuk]

Creative people are concerned about AI replacing them. What can you do to save your job from AI, or more specifically the potential threat of it making your role redundant?

I think live streaming could provide the answer (writes @dougalperman).

What sort of notifications could be annoying Rishi Sunak so much…🤔

[Steve Rosenberg @BBCSteveR]

The last few days here have been tough. This morning I wrote this.

[Dougal Perman @dougalperman]

Ain't that the truth! We were in the same boat @lokiscottishrap, and sometimes still are. But recently, I am very grateful to our 5-year-old, Alyth, for doing her own hair in the mornings. Hopefully your household can find similar respite!

[Dougal Perman @dougalperman]

Enough is enough. Suella Braverman's article in the Times is dangerous, divisive, and shows she's unfit for office. @RishiSunak must sack her now. Agree? Add your name: https://t.co/8JrDMp6kfn

🚨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The Scottish Government is breaking its promise on arts funding, and trying to reimpose a £6.6 million cut to Creative Scotland. Scotland's arts and culture needs backing, not broken promises. Please join me in signing the @_CFTA petition. https://t.co/9NY3IiyhKm
