The Royal Shakespeare Company is proposing to axe its Music Department. This is problematic for many reasons. Please support the campaign to save one of the last TWO remaining theatre music departments in the UK. #savemusic #music #theatre
@TheStage @guardianmusic
A petition has been launched to stop the closure of the Royal Shakespeare Company's music department, eradicating over 60 years of cultural heritage The ISM call on the RSC to reverse this proposal and commit to protecting live music Sign the petition đź“ť https://t.co/XUHiYuVba8

Big support for rejoining the Erasmus scheme @UKTradeBusiness which would give such a boost to our young people. The proposed Uk EU Youth Scheme would also boost the life chances of UK's young people including in the arts. It really is a no brainer @NickTorfaen @Andrew_Lewin_

Absolutely fabulous evening at the world premiere of the jaw dropping Dracapella @ParkTheatre. Sensational singing and script left the audience and me helpless with laughter. The show stopping "I'm holding out for a hero" has to be seen to be believed. Go see it. @MockTheWeek

@ISM_music @DeborahAnnetts Honestly, chopping Northumbria's music BA is like cancelling dessert before the main course. These pathways give young talent a real start-why pull the plug? Full applause for ISM. đź‘Ź

This is how the AI industry hopes to escape regulation. So much money ploughed in by tech VCs that the president’s advisers (also tech VCs) can claim that regulation would make the economy fall apart.
According to today’s WSJ, AI-related investment accounts for half of GDP growth. A reversal would risk recession. We can’t afford to go backwards.

"If big content truly cared about protecting artists from AI, it would stop trying to sell their voices as training data and start listening to them" Organised labor would be a more effective strategy than the static and antiquated tools of copyright.
