Pitching idea: a Chucky movie where Chucky discovers his Irish roots and moves to Ireland to try and win back the 6 stolen counties. It's called Chuckaidh ár lá.

Netflix Is Using AI to Upscale a 1980s Sitcom and the Results Are Borderline Horrific
From the very first frames, you can tell there's something's off about Netflix's AI-powered remastering of "A Different World."

The other big problem with using generative AI to help you write is that it makes you a huge fuckin loser
One danger of embracing generative AI as a learning device and in language assistance is that you're letting the keepers of that AI have power over what you learn and how you write. It will be programmed with biases, unintentional but often *quite* intentional, that you will unknowingly adopt.

"Papier-mâché heart" would be an incredible name for an indie/shoegaze 90s band.

I'm deeply troubled by this proposal, which feeds a bunch of copyright laws that protect intellectual property into the shredder, I think it's short sighted and outright encouraging criminality and theft - I'm emailing my MP this afternoon
Today, the UK government announced a proposal to change copyright law - for the benefit of AI companies - that would cause huge, irreversible harm to creators.
More info below, but most importantly here's what you can do (wherever you live):
1. Email your MP. Template letter in 🧵 👇

I wrote something brand new for the first time since October 2021. I'd be happy but it's pretty shit and it came back from the beta reader with a staggering 102 comments. (It's a 4-page short story) 🤡

Lose all respect for groups or organisations using AI generated imagery. The lack of imagination, the devaluing of art and photography, the corner-cutting and cheapness of it. Would rather have photos of coddle stapled to my eyeballs.

Jfc, very tired of *writers* posting ai-generated images, even as a “joke”. Using that crap “ironically” does the same damage as earnest use - it does not discern intent.
Also, it’s gross and so disrespectful to other artists.
