Also I can confirm that AI video generation is very much not at the 'just type it in and get what you want' stage. Getting this sort of thing back was the norm, not the exception #recallmemaybe

As US investment in AI is in the spotlight- what does this mean for truth? We have been working on a drama for many months about AI, memory, what we believe to be true and how to protect it. It's here to watch now.

Financial Times @financialtimes.com · 24d

FT Drama: Stephen Fry and Gemma Whelan star in a moving story about a grandfather with dementia who uses AI to fill in memory gaps – but which memories are really true? And how is AI defining who we are?

The FT View: The longer it has continued, the more it has borne the hallmarks of a vengeful assault by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right government to destroy the very fabric of Palestinian society. https://on.ft.com/3UBv3Us

‘We can’t invent hope. But we can find a way to live without faking it, to forge something good out of this anger, and this love. In that determination, we can create the fertile soil for hope to take root when it decides to arrive.’

I wrote for the Guardian’s Saturday magazine about my son Max, who changed how I see the world. Took ages. More jokes after the first bit.

Thanks Merope Mills for being the most patient and generous editor.

The boy who came back: the near-death, and changed life, of my son Max

It was, we were told, a case of sudden infant death syndrome interrupted. What followed would transform my understanding of parenting, disability and the breadth of what makes a meaningful life

Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

My contribution to our charticle on Trump's tumultuous first 100 days.

It's not uncommon for presidents to use exec orders to roll back previous admin's ones, but Trump has taken it to extremes
