Learnt today that you can type any nonsense into Google followed by "meaning", and AI will assume you're searching a well-known human phrase and frantically come up with what it thinks it could mean.

My first job back after 3 years off work was revenge thriller Reunion, very conveniently shot in Sheffield with a mixed deaf and hearing cast and crew of total legends. Watch the first episode on BBC 1, this Monday at 9pm!

Nicolas Cage says "protect yourselves from AI."

“There is another world that is also disturbing me, and it’s happening right now around all of us — the new AI world. I am a big believer in not letting robots dream for us. Robots cannot reflect the human condition for us. That is a dead end if an actor lets one AI robot manipulate his or her performance even a little bit, an inch will eventually become a mile and all integrity, purity and truth of art will be replaced by financial interests only. We can’t let that happen. The job of all art in my view, film performance included, is to hold a mirror to the external and internal stories of the human condition through the very human thoughtful and emotional process of recreation. A robot can’t do that. If we let robots do that, it will lack all heart and eventually lose edge and turn to mush. There will be no human response to life as we know it. It will be life as robots tell us to know it. I say, protect yourselves from AI interfering with your authentic and honest expressions.”

You just can't argue with the science on this one

It's been a weird old week, hasn't it? England doesn't have an immigration problem so much as a knobhead problem. If we could all just try to follow this sage advice going into the weekend then things would be a lot calmer....

We're at the huge anti-fascist rally in Sheffield city centre.

Around half a dozen far-right activists were here earlier, but were quickly driven out of Barker's Pool by a crowd of around 500 Sheffielders.

The removal of Radcliffe and Maconie from their afternoon slot on 6 Music is the greatest piece of cultural vandalism forced upon the British public for the past 100 years and everything bad that has happened to the world since is somehow a result, idiots.

Out of print for four decades, the Blade Runner Sketchbook showcases the remarkable vision, skill, and genius that went into the concept art produced by Syd Mead, Ridley Scott and others, which made BR the cult classic it is today.

Let's take a peak inside this lost gem.

@thecribs Oh, go on then!

Well, this is a lovely little fact. My mother and grandmother are undoubtedly the substance from which I was made, so while ever I'm here a little bit of them is too.

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day is ‘matter’, which began with the Latin ‘mater’, ‘mother’, because it is a substance from which we are made.

(Should those of us lucky enough to be writing a Mother’s Day card need an alternative word for ‘mother’, there is always ‘genetrix’.)

New favourite factoid

[All The Right Movies @ATRightMovies]

Kelly had to get permission from the estate of Peyo, creator of the Smurfs, to show a Smurf doll. They also told Kelly the film could talk about Smurf sex, because they considered what had been written in the script to be an accurate description.

This is the best example I've found yet of how derivative AI 'art' is. The person who generated the image on the left asked Midjourney to generate 'an average woman of Afghanistan'. It produced an almost carbon copy of the 1984 photo of Sharbat Gula, taken by Steve McCurry. 1/

Thank fuck for that!

Don't get me wrong, I've fully supported actors and writers and their right to strike but this has been a looooooong 8 months and I can't wait to get back to work!

What is Nightshade? It's a tool that performs a data poisoning attack against generative AI image models. Poisoning is not new. Poisoning genAI models at scale is new. You can read the MIT TR article for the high level story. For details, here's the paper: https://t.co/0mIZgOl1Fp

1/4 Not only is the dehumanizing language of “median person” disgusting, but IMO utilized so that when huge overwhelming job losses occur, as experts and Sam Altman himself predict, folks in these bubbles will say “that was a median person, they should’ve worked harder”.
