Today, the IAWG urged UNESCO to prioritise a global rights database to ensure that all writers have their work protected & reminded them of their duty to uphold the uniqueness of human creativity in an era where AI developers steal our work and insult culture by calling our creativity “data”.

An hour and 40 minutes after we were due to depart Stansted, and one change of plane, we don’t appear to be any closer to taking off. Which is fun.

Writers - have we thoughts yet on Patrick O’Donovan as our new Arts Minister? Can’t see any sense that he has a background or interest in the arts, but maybe I’m wrong.

Catherine Martin & Neasa Hourigan both in danger of losing their seats. Whatever your party politics, that’s a real loss of two strong and effective female politicians.

FF vastly outperforming the exit poll. Ireland needs a hard reset that it will probably never get. #GE24

And I see everyone’s favourite “man of the people” filmmaker is posting about his capacity to be elected. Meanwhile a genuine politician who has done actual good for the area is in danger of losing her seat. Please let this be one of the cases where the transfers work their magic.
With 100% of the boxes tallied in Dublin Central, Gerard Hutch looks to be in contention for a seat there, while the Green Party's Neasa Hourigan appears to be in trouble www.rte.ie/news/electio...

Only one political party mention protecting artists copyright against AI in their general election manifesto. Sadly there’s no Soc Dem candidate running in Mayo, so if you do have actual choice on your ballot paper, use it wisely.
