Great momentum on Drawn to Extinction this week. The creators and thinkers who’ve already added their voices have turned it into something powerful and properly human. Grateful for every insight so far, and excited for what’s coming next.

I’m still convinced Sledgehammer is the greatest pop song of all time… Horns strutting, bassline swaggering, Gabriel smashing it through the whole thing. It’s joyous, clever, and utterly unashamed of its own brilliance.

Getting tired of AI boosters who say they are worried about the ethics of using generative AI, but who still use it to make slop.
It's like a smoker bemoaning what cigarettes did to their lungs as they light up.
Just like Big Tobacco, the AI companies don't care about our health or well-being.

So so so so so so many people are feeding these straight into LLMs as soon as they’re available. It’s a terrible idea. TERRIBLE. Get your popcorn ready, it’s going to metastasise exponentially, and then everyone is going to think they’re an expert without reading the brutal evidence.
FYI, there are over 300,000 pages of Epstein files.

When people ask questions like “how will OpenAi truly monetise enough to cover costs?” they’ll have to literally sell everything… and that, apparently also means selling YOUR conversational data with its tools. Genuinely terrifying 👇🏻

I was such a big fan of the book… and… I’m very heartened to say that the filmmakers seem to have absolutely nailed the tone.
I’m cautiously optimistic about this. 🚀✨

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Was really awesome to head over to @stillwintercraft.bsky.social and say “thanks” for the epic colour treatment on the ‘Darkest Judge’ Rogue Trooper arc today at WCC. It’s AMAZING work. I honestly, genuinely just love meeting the humans who put the craft into the things I enjoy.

People piling on the newly born BlueSky for a few teething errors seem to have very short memories. Twitter spent years breaking, burning, and betraying its own users. Maybe give the new kid a minute before we pretend the old place was some kind of paradise.

Always so ridiculously content when I’m making and breaking and hacking and solving… a little add-on and some 3D printing for Saturday. Video of the outcome in the replies. Guessing what it is mandatory 😂👇🏻👻

The book is taking on a life of its own, a record of what we stand to lose as Ai creeps into every corner of creativity. Comics are an escape route in your hands and they deserve protecting.
Had a lot of incredible interviews, more to come… this is going to be EPIC.

In the UK we have something called the Contempt of Court Act 1981.
It basically means that once legal proceedings are active, the public (and especially the press) must not publish anything that creates a substantial risk of serious prejudice to that case.
Social media is going to blow-up cases.
