Steve Keyworth

@ednewtonrex @PhilipRalph9 Yeah. Taking this position on AI is an easy win for the Greens but it won’t feel sincere until I know that little timebomb isn’t lurking in the background. 14 years of protection is not protection.

@stevekeyworth @PhilipRalph9 Interesting, I wonder if they would reconsider now

Groups in the UK who oppose AI exploiting creatives’ work without permission: - 95% of artists - Thousands of British musicians & authors - 79% of Members of Parliament - The House of Lords - The Green Party - 95% of respondents to the UK public consultation on the topic Groups who explicitly want to entertain the possibility of allowing that exploitation: - AI companies - The Labour Party

@LibyaLiberty This post was below yours. Do they look anything like this?

So my trainer suggested I could boost the impact of power walks by wearing a weighted vest so I googled what they look like and uhhhhhhhh is she serious right now.

This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.

The last thing Macbeth sees

Lady in blue, "Will student loans be the next misselling scandal?" #BBCQT Oli Dugmore, "My three year course, £9,000 a year for the tuition, on top of that a maintenance loan, I left uni with £37,500 of debt" "From the day I was charged RPI interest" "Since I went to uni in 2012, the amount of interest I have accrued is £32,000" "Was it missold to me when I was told it would cost me £9,000 a year? Yes" "On top of that its a regressive system" "If you're wealthy enough to pay the fees up front, you don't get charged interest - if you're rich enough you don't pay the same as me" "The government changed the terms of the agreement, I call that loan sharking" Fiona Bruce, "How else would you pay for university?" Oli Dugmore, "How did you guys pay for it?" "The state paid for it, didn't they?" Fiona Bruce, "They did" Oli Dugmore, "Good enough for you, good enough for me?"

BRUTAL: Jimmy Kimmel thrashes Trump's capture of Venezuelan dictator Maduro: "Yes, he's a criminal and a dictator who's driven his country into financial ruin, while he and his family have lined their own pockets, but Maduro is no saint either." BOOM!

For screenwriters, this is a site that breaks down the differences between the Jeffrey Boam and Tom Stoppard drafts of Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade. I like Boam, but Stoppard elevated that script from "pretty good" to "maybe even better than Raiders." mffilm.wixsite.com/lastcrusade

I’m talking on @BBCRadio4 today about The Princess Bride on Opening Lines at 2.45pm, followed by episode 1 of the adaptation at 3pm. All available on BBC Sounds for a month afterwards, and the mini eps are there already #theprincessbride

My adaptation of The Princess Bride is being repeated on @BBCRadio4 for the next 2 weeks, and is available on BBC Sounds for a month. The full cast drama is on Sundays 30th Nov and 7th Dec, but the bite sized character stories go out all this week at 22.45 bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m…

Ooh, first time hearing That Kate Bush song since watching Stranger Things in August when I was hallucinating and sleep deprived and out of my mind for a month with flu. That’s some visceral PTSTD right there (Post Traumatic Stranger Things Disorder).

I won tickets to see @underworldlive at Audley End today. I own everything they ever released but have never seen them live. Then this week covid got me. I am so sick right now and completely gutted

“You are a temporary leprechaun!”

It’s not 9am and a man in full hiking gear just growled at me in Norwich city centre.

The Unbelievable Scale of Meta's Pirated-Books. Meta pirated millions of books to train its AI. 126 versions of my books were stolen and used without my permission. Story here: theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

.@JordanKlepper shouldn’t have to explain this to Elon, but it’s not about the Teslas

@Khan971I @I_amMukhtar Clearly this is a trap. If you bend down to feed a kitten in a full suit of armour, no way are you standing up again. Your enemy will tip you on your back and get at you with a tin opener.

Lmao.

The “TV writer career path” as we knew it is over. Short rooms. Fewer episodes. Long gaps between seasons—if they come back at all. If you’re still waiting for the industry to bounce back to normal, it’s time to pivot. Some key takeaways from this must-read piece: -Staffing is no longer a sustainable career. -Mini-rooms are now the norm, not the exception. -The “ladder” to showrunner? Broken. -Residuals are shrinking or gone. -Even big hits are getting canceled early. So what now? Writers need to stop thinking like employees and start thinking like entrepreneurs. Create IP. Write across mediums. Build something you own, something that doesn’t rely on a single streamer’s greenlight. The future is global, independent, and multi-platform. Be nimble. Build your brand. Tell great stories—everywhere you can. If you’re not already thinking this way, start today. This is the new normal. indiewire.com/features/comme…
