Just a heads up that tomorrow I'll be taking part in the Society of Authors' protest against Meta stealing copyright works to train their model (and goverment's proposed changes to the law that would enable them!). Normal service will resume on Friday.

Can you imagine the outrage from Disney if Meta had used a bunch of pirated films to train their AI models?

Just because it’s text, these AI companies think they can take it for free.

A big thank you to the authors and poets, along with the The Society of Authors, who protested outside Meta's London HQ yesterday, about the use of pirated books to train their AI. I've had six of my books stolen by them.
