UK has a serious problem: we're great at AI and createch start-ups but bad at supporting them to scale. We lose too many great firms and our greatest talent overseas. We're becoming an 'incubater economy'. This needs to change if we're really serious about economic growth. 🧵1/

As widely rumoured, the UK government is considering legalising gen AI training on copyrighted work without a licence. This would be a huge betrayal of the UK’s creators.

All UK creators, and the millions of people who benefit from the brilliant work that comes from the UK’s creative industries, should oppose this. ft.com/content/26bc3de1-af90…

You see this, this is what happens in real life. The bots can't show up on the streets. On the right there (yeah the far right) are the 6 nazis who turned up to cause mayhem. Everyone else is there to stop them. This is England.
