I'd love to connect with more creatives on here, so: intro post!
I'm a screenwriter from London who moved to LA just before the ol' panny-D. I'm head writer of Jentry Chau Vs The Underworld, which comes out on Netflix Dec 5th! If you like Buffy, you'll like this:

I’ve been saying this trend will emerge since this time last year. Apple, most notably, have started doing this in recent months. Not to get too Don Draper about it, but ads rely on human connection to do well. AI is the antithesis of that and people know it.
Saw a couple marketing articles about how 2026 is going to be the year of human ads. And another advising freelancer and small businesses to pitch their humanness first.

People say AI is a magic shortcut to creativity & success. I’ll tell you the real secret and it’s voraciously reading, being interested in everything, being diligent in the pursuit of learning, paying attention to the interior lives of others & keeping a heart open to the world.

I dunno what if space lasers from Mars are the only way to restart the world's idea machine? What if global spouse swapping is the only way to restart it? What if everyone learned Esperanto after all to restart it? What if we didn't have to live by paycheck chosing between food rent and healthcare?
America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.
What if the best use of AI is restarting the world’s idea machine?

the “you should love ai” line is best outlined by a recent joe rogan episode. he LOVES ai music and always tells guests this. a guest pushed back on him saying “i’ve heard ai podcasts are amazing too” and joe rogan immediately pushes back. losers love it until it comes for them

Remember how biased and leading the questions were in favour of the AI companies? And this was still the response.
🚨 The UK government just published a breakdown of the responses to its consultation on AI & copyright:
- 95% of respondents want AI companies to pay for their training data (made up of 88% saying strengthen copyright law, & 7% saying leave it as is)

Mr. Cuban doesn't understand fuck-all about the creative process. As a gatekeeper, I'll try and execute an idea, and if I fail to get the results I want, I LEARN FROM MY FAILURE. Or maybe I accidentally discover something better! That evolution through trial and error is what makes real art.
I have grown to believe that excessive wealth does something to your brain that is analogous to a serious head injury

is there a free way for me to cost them $5 every 10-seconds? ah but think about the energy usage and water waste. tempting but not even out of spite will i do this thing
'Sora cost $20 a month & subscribers can generate an unlimited number of AI videos... this costs (Sora owners) OpenAI "at least $5 per 10-second video"'.
Journalists, please ask more questions about how this tech could ever in a million years make a profit?

studio execs & major outlets claim AI is "inevitable" and poised to take over Hollywood. the reality is much different. i spoke with filmmakers, producers, and editors about how AI is actually showing up in productions – and what it still can't do:

Going to be fun watching them try to figure out a way to say "oh we didn't mean dual citizenship with a white country" without sounding like massive racists.
The Conservative party’s policy also includes stripping people of their British citizenship when they are found guilty of a crime ⬇️
All criminals with dual nationality must be deported, say Tories

The one funny thing about this administration is that every photo of Kash Patel has him looking like the stoner flatmate in a sitcom who, through a series of farcical shenanigans, has somehow found his way into the White House and has to pretend he knows what he’s doing

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

It’s beyond scary out there. It hurts everyone behind the scenes from top to bottom, and it’s bad for audiences.
so many cool, inventive and interesting animated projects none of you even knew were being made for the past few years just got shitcanned because of this netflix/wb merger
When you're like "geez there's no animation jobs" "geez there's like no new shows anymore", this is why

I can’t get over how Barbie succeeded because it offered tangible ways for women and girls to celebrate each other (and dress up and go to the movies together) but studios thought it worked because it’s about toys so now they’re making like Bananagrams the movie

the most dire and unfortunately realistic interpretation of this whole, netflix buying WB thing, is that they're doing it to force WB to effectively freeze all production for about 2 years while they hash this out in antitrust court.
WB won't be able to compete by making anything for 2 years
