A few weeks ago, I met with Girl Scouts on their trip to Monterey Bay Aquarium. We talked about the magical world just beneath the surface of our oceans, and how our fates are inextricably linked. I hope you’ll check out Our Oceans from Higher Ground, which is streaming now on @Netflix.

Companies adding DeepSeek to their products (Microsoft, Perplexity etc.) are knowingly hosting an AI model trained on pirated works (Anna’s Archive). Surely lawsuits follow.

Almost every day now, there is an article in the UK press citing more creators who reject the government's plans to upend ©️ law to benefit AI companies. And almost every day, the govt responds with the lie that existing ©️ law is "holding back the creative industries". This.

My TED talk on why AI companies should license their training data is out today. I suspect there are parts that people on both sides of the debate will disagree with. Whichever side you’re on, I hope you’ll at least watch it and hear me out. I firmly believe there is a future
