Bluey royalties could have funded the ABC twice over. Instead, we just gave them away to the BBC in a dud deal. Now the BBC is rolling in cash. Great video from @gearside explaining it all. youtu.be/n5Pnkay8D5M?si=piRB…

When I was 14, social media was my escape hatch from mediocrity. I did not relate to anyone at school. Online, I found people on the other side of the world who thought the way I did. That changed my life. It is how I ended up working with one of Silicon Valley’s most respected investors and some of the smartest engineers in the world. It is how I started a podcast and got into rooms school would never have opened for me. The UK wants to close that door for every weird, ambitious, hyper online 14-year-old. They say it is “for safety”. But there is a much greater danger in being trapped inside schools, consuming state-mandated narratives, and waiting for permission from people whose entire worldview is obedience. The internet lets kids escape the factory before the factory stamps them into shape. It lets them find mentors, employers, collaborators, friends, customers, and ideas no school would ever give them. It lets them discover that the classroom is not the world, and the adults around them are not the ceiling. A social media ban for under-16s protects the enforcement regime, not the child. Age verification is KYC with a child-safety sticker on it. First they ask if you are old enough. Then they ask who you are. Then the anonymous internet is gone. The excuse is children. The prize is obedience. Fight back, Britain.
We are banning social media access for under 16s. These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life. I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.
Community note
The UK Government's 'careful review' of the research found a small correlation between children's use of social media and wellbeing, but no evidence of a causal effect: gov.uk/government/pub… assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/696e0b46…

This censorship law is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The real goal is to enable the UK government to track everyone.
It’s important to know that the social media ban for under 16s is not a ban for under 16s. It is a ban on *selected* social media for EVERYONE. Until you identify yourself.

Respect to you for bringing your story to life this way, putting yourself out there, as I have no doubt you will have had a lot of negative BS. And most people that crap on it will be using it soon, because of the fearless pioneers like yourself. 💪🔥🔥😀

👍 Any filmmaker that has a strong creative vision will always be open to any new technology that can free you from limitations or corporate permission. I really don't rate anybody that fights for Goliath! That's why many of the industry titans like Scorsese, Shrader, Coppola, Aronofsky, Refn, Roger Avary, and many more are not pissing on it, and open to possibilities. When the majority are against this new tech, that's all the more reasons to go 100% all in. The majority are always wrong when it comes to innovation. As long as the purity of story telling outside the tools is always preserved.
Elite filmmakers have absolutely nothing to worry about with AI. This is why you won’t see Scorcese and Howard against new technology. The ones who are aggressively against AI are, quite ironically, people who’ve been getting away with making slop IRL for years.

access to who can create seems to be really what it's all about

The AI art debate is strange. People are fighting a machine they don't understand, to defend creative industries that have been recycling the same slop for decades. Apparently copying is fine when it has a studio logo.

The French New Wave would have LOVED AI for its potential to offer one obsessive auteur the ability to realise their vision alone with complete creative control.
