We know MI5 has broken the law a number of times on data protection. Is GCHQ better-behaved, or less scrutinised? 🤐

RT @silkiecarlo
These ultra powerful agencies, that seem to repeatedly act beyond the law, are the ones that also have the power to listen to and watch our every electronic move.

Will fans be interested in “music” ft. an artist’s voice without any quality control on their part? And what about a GrimesGPT that will “sing” anything?🤔 h/t @technollama

I'll split 50% royalties on any successful AI generated song that uses my voice. Same deal as I would with any artist i collab with. Feel free to use my voice without penalty. I have no label and no legal bindings.

“Should hasten the exodus of deposits from the traditional banking sector in ways that start to undermine already beleaguered financial institutions, I suspect that regulators will take a closer look at the business model.
