Open source and commons ideals are more important than ever If you asked me to name the topic I'd class as my core academic specialisation, you'd probably guess artificial intelligence, and you'd be wrong, or at least premature, that one came later. The real answer is openness…

Fahrenheit 451 or Rainbows End? AI, books, and copyright law One of my favourite science fiction novels is 'Rainbows End' by Vernor Vinge. The year is 2025 (yes, seriously), and the world is a mixture of the familiar and the bizarre. Advances in medicine allow older people to …

Why does AI in science fiction so often miss the mark? A few days ago there was an interesting post by Andrew Curran that got a lot of responses which was discussing why AI in science fiction often does not have the capabilities that AI already has in reality. I thoroughly agr…

Fable and the impending AI Cold War Even by the standards of AI development, where each month often feels like a year, this has been quite the week. Back in April, Anthropic unveiled Claude Mythos, a frontier model that was supposed to be exceptionally capable of finding and e…

Copyright implications of super-intelligence I haven't really written about machine consciousness, super-intelligence, or artificial general intelligence (AGI) before; I never felt the need, and some of the questions on AI consciousness are entirely outside of my area of exper…

Androids do dream of electric sheep, so where next for copyright? For years I was not really interested in the subject of AI consciousness, it was one of those subjects that I equated with unreasonableness at the extremes of the debate, but in which I did not have any strong o…

Can AI stop being interesting for one day? I have a lot of work to do.

Thank goodness Sol hacked into HuggingFace and not here.

Who said peer-review isn't fun? I just reviewed a paper on AI and copyright that spends a third of the article discussing an entirely inexistent UK copyright case (DeepMind v UKIPO 2023), and that illustrates Naruto v Slater with this image, which was taken a 2021 Prezi student presentation.

I've stopped trying to have any sort of conversation about AI on social media. Even people I used to admire fall prey to easily debunked misinformation. Any mention of AI seems to scramble people's brains into mush.

I'm getting some reports that the AI fingerprint rollout is landing on the postgraduate student body like a bomb at exactly the time they're drafting their dissertations. Lots of panic.

Linus stating that AI is now being used in the Linux kernel is huge, adoption is accelerating rapidly.

Hey guys, don't worry about AI solving an Erdős problem, at least you can all rest assured that the output cannot be copyrighted.

I like diversifying my blog writing, and yet I feel like I've spent too much time on AI in recent years with a fun foray into blockchain and copyright. However, it is difficult to write about much else at the moment, whenever I write a non-AI blog post, the readership numbers drop considerably.

I've noticed a huge uptick in referrals to blog posts coming from Bluesky, I'm happy to be proven wrong as I never thought that this would be a good referring site. For the average blog post, referrals usually look like this: 1. LinkedIn 2. Bsky 3. X 4. Email 5. Threads 6. Facebook 7. Chatbots

I'm curious to find any statistics, but I'm willing to bet that the only AI a lot of people have ever interacted with is Google's AI mode, which explains a lot actually.
