Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives As two pubs in Newcastle ban AI art, artists discuss the impact it can have on creatives.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Went to see the latest Ben Wheatley film last night. A solidly fun slice of weird DIY 1970's influenced oddness. A tight 90 too!

"Acquiring" a peace prize from a country you've bombed and kidnapped the leader of is such a ridiculous comic book villain move.

I like my textures, and I think I'm pretty good at taking an existing look and emulating it as faithfully as I can.
I used to feel it was a bit of a weakness, but these days I really enjoy my versatility. I keep trying my hand at new things.

Good morning.

A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive.

That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power.

Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.
