The truth is, no one of us can be free until everybody is free.

Theatre poster for “Shame Show” with a light pink background featuring two males standing side by side wearing yellow rain coats, rain hats and wellies. One is holding a perfect rainbow umbrella while the other’s umbrella is black with white clouds and broken. They are both holding hands.

Min Choi on Twitter: $100K blockbuster VFX shots now cost coffee money with AI in minutes.

Min Choi on Twitter: $100K blockbuster VFX shots now cost coffee money with AI in minutes. 6 wild effects + how-to try: 1. Mystique morph (Marvel X-Men)

There's a thread on Twitter that purports to show that AI can save money by producing visual effects better than Hollywood. And it's just identical shots that wouldn't exist without straight plagiarism of the source material.

It might be the dumbest thread I've ever seen.

People who use AI to make "art" and claim they truly are artists are the kids who would trace a picture of a giant squid from a book in year three and when they got caught out exclaim that everyone else is just jealous of their brilliant giant squid drawing.

If you’re in Belfast and are about tomorrow afternoon then may I suggest Outburst Arts Festival’s Brewing Showcase.

I have an extract of my new play, which is on alongside four other extracts of new queer work. Should be exciting! 💗
