“We obviously really care about rightsholders and about people” is the biggest load of bullshit ever. Your models are literally trained on people’s stuff without permission.
Who’d have thought that the makers of SpongeBob wouldn’t want him as a nazi? The shock!

Loved this one. Andrew is someone on the frontline of AI but someone who is singularly focused on implementing it in an ethical way that doesn’t destroy creativity. The big AI companies shouldn’t definitely take notes.

A pleasure! I loved what she had to say! (Sent from an airplane where my daughter is currently playing Pok Pok)

This was a fantastic chat. @playpokpok.com holds a special place in my – and my daughters – heart, and it's ideals like in the clip below that are so great to see in the current climate.

Zapp calling a tree a "naturally occurring stripper pole" on this season of Futurama killed me.

New episode of First, Last, Everything with my old pal, Futurama co-creator David X. Cohen, is out! David is a very funny nerd, and I loved hearing about his experiences with arcade games and the Apple II in the ‘80s, plus sillier things.

It was a fun chat, hope you all enjoy it!

New season of Slow Horses this week! I had the chance to watch it and it's as good as ever. I would say that, while it has its usual share of thrills, this go around leans much more into the comedy. Maybe to be expected when it has a heavy focus on the brilliant scumbag, Roddy.
Must watch TV. Still.

Anyone want to tell me what time it is? Because iOS can't. Liquid Glass delights. Yep, it's launching like this.
