Yesterday, the government published its ‘AI Adoption Plan’ for the creative industries.
Somewhat incredibly, it says we should be pushing AI adoption before the government resolves the issues around copyright.
This would be great for the AI industry, and terrible for creatives.
Important for people to know what the government is pushing here. Short thread on its contents ⬇️

it's not surprising that these people think llms are a magic solution to everything because that is the consensus among over-promoted management types, a category they all belong to
A society reveals itself by what it is willing to give its children.
If we believe that every child matters, then we must ask why some are offered the company of machines whilst those who can afford continue to receive the guidance, attention and care of human beings.
Research from Brookings warns that the risks of AI in education may currently outweigh its benefits, including the danger of cognitive offloading (the surrender of thought itself) as young people become dependent on machines to do the work of reasoning, questioning and understanding.
Technology may be a useful servant, but it is a poor substitute for human presence. No child should be asked to accept automation in place of investment, relationship and expertise.
The measure of our commitment to equality is not whether we can provide the cheapest solution for the poorest children, but whether we are prepared to give every child what we know to be best.
I love this idea that British children will be prevented by strict internet controls from ever being aware of the concept of sin, raised by pure lambs by the state's warm embrace, and then locked in with the brain damage demon for basically all of their education
@isnit0 There’s plenty of space in the cities, the density of our cities is far lower than everywhere in Europe. They just need to change the majority housing type from individual houses in the suburbs to apartments
This is wonderful🎊🎉
Thames Water shareholders have
Taken out £10 billions in dividends
Loaded up the company with £14.7 billion in debt
Dumped almost 300,000 hours of sewage in 2024
And they’re financially insolvent. Taking them into public ownership is not just “an option”. It’s a necessity.
