I think it’s a broader issue across all leadership but particularly artistic leadership. Less money, much more expectation and visibility, louder feedback. If you want good people in those jobs and for them to stick around, you need to make the gig more tolerable/sustainable. Passion isn’t enough

My boring take, from other people’s experiences and my own: Doctor Who is a ferociously difficult, near-inhumane show to produce. Brutal for every department, but particularly for one person to hold at the top as it is. If they want the best range of pitches, the production model needs rethinking

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes
Because the truth is, tech doesn't have an image problem. It doesn't have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What's wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn't successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What's wrong is that he's trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that's designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn't that you haven't told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them. (
There are things in the world that are more important than money. The fact that you seem not to believe this, that you seem to think any motive beyond ruthless acquisitiveness is fake, dishonest, or childish, is the heart of your problem. Your attitude is not by any means unique to tech, but the

Further on this, I don’t actually care if generated writing is any kind of quality, if it moves me or not. I read to get the perspectives and inner lives of other people. I don’t ~want to read a facsimile of that by a piece of software.

I've seen people trying to defend it today by saying "No, no, I just use it to brainstorm, bounce ideas, I do the actual writing" and with all the kindness in the world I need to tell you: if there is a stage of writing you are not good at, you need to get good, not use the plagiarism machine.

Just catching up on this interview...ooft. If you were inventing a character like this it would not be believable. www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensl...
“Everyone’s going, ‘Oh, what’s in the (May federal) budget?’, well, really, what’s in your budget, and what are you going to do with what you’ve got?

“Maybe you need a second job. Maybe you need a third job. Maybe you need higher education. Maybe you need to learn AI. The government can only do so much.”

Markets are treating the war in Iran, and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, like they treat climate change: not totally ignoring it, but not acknowledging the full scale of the crisis, either newrepublic.com/article/2082...

Markets Are In Denial About the War in Iran
​Investors have been weirdly chill about a spiraling crisis that shows no signs of ending. Remind anyone of climate denial?

Should not be surprised the movie that basically treats revolutionary politics like cosplay and fetishizes, waters down and turns Black womens contributions to dual power politics into a farce would win Best Picture over a movie about the importance of marginalized art, yet I’m still disappointed.

Very bizarre statement from the Greens, which confirms how frozen/neutered they have been this term. The Royal Commission will be in part used to go after them!
