You can fill in this nightmare AI form slightly more quickly than it appears because the answer to most of it is “enforce existing copyright legislation” and “don’t steal” and “property is property” or “this is my job, fuck off.” You can cut and paste a lot.
If you’re a creator or work in the creative industries or otherwise have a heart, then please add your voice to this UK Gov consultation on AI and Copyright. I said ‘freelance’ for company and ‘unsure’ for super-granular legal stuff but made my voice heard. You can too. www.gov.uk/government/c...
Copyright and Artificial Intelligence
This consultation seeks views on how the government can ensure the UK’s legal framework for AI and copyright supports the UK creative industries and AI sector together.

Mary Tyler Moore accidentally nailed a perfect trick shot in *The Dick Van Dyke Show* (1962)—on the FIRST take.
It was supposed to be done by a pro, but she shocked everyone and pulled it off herself. Absolute legend. 🎱✨

Dear Reader, I spent the evening removing the papery, fragrant shells from the cacao seeds. Machines can do this, but these are my babies.
Your eyes don’t lie:, they have transformed into the purest, most incredible dark chocolate. This is where it comes from. This is it.
Next, milling.
