    Oldest weapons in the Americas found! 🤯

    Archaeologists at the Cooper’s Field in western Idaho found 14 stemmed projective points that were created more than 16,000 years ago!

    Transcript

    This past week, 14 stemmed projectile points were discovered at the Coopers Field excavation site in Western Idaho.

    So when I say stemmed projectile points, it would be like a spear or something like that.

    These points range in size from half an inch to two inches long, and these were allegedly created sometime between 13,200 and 16,000 years ago.

    This makes these 2,300 years older than stem points previously found at the site.

    Not only are these the oldest weapons that have been found in the Americas, but what’s also amazing about these is that these are apparently similar to different points that were found in Hokkaido, Japan that date back to 16,000 to 20,000 years ago.

    This further adds significance to the hypothesis that people from the Ice Age period located in Northeast Asia and North America actually shared early genetic and cultural connections.

    Fake dinosaur skeleton at auction! 🦖

    Christie’s was going to sell this T-Rex skeleton, but now they’re under fire after it was discovered that almost ¾ of the bones were copies of *another* T-Rex!

    Transcript

    Christie’s was slated to sell an entire T-Rex skeleton. The T-Rex, though, whose name is Shen, has now been removed from the catalog…why?

    A bunch of experts raised questions about the amount of replica bones and ambiguous language that was used in this catalog.

    What was funny about this, though, is that one expert noticed that Shen looked eerily similar to Stan. So, Stan was a T-Rex skeleton that had been excavated in 1992 and sold at Christie’s.

    These experts studied Shen and noticed that roughly ¾ of the bones in this skeleton resembled Stan’s.

    So, Christie’s removed this from their brochure and their website. They are, allegedly, in trouble for false marketing.

    Banksy is pissed! Here’s why 👀

    So, a couple weeks ago, Banksy posted to Instagram accusing Guess of using his artwork without his permission. Guess, though, claims they have the rights to use his artwork because of their deal with Brandalised…but who’s right? 🤔

    Transcript

    Do not fuck with Banksy because they will fuck you back so hard.

    Banksy posted a photo to Instagram. It’s a photo of a GUESS store and it says: “Attention all shoplifters! Please go to GUESS on Regent Street. They’ve helped themselves to my artwork without asking. How can it be wrong for you to do the same with their clothes?”

    Mic drop!

    So, a little bit of backstory: GUESS has a licensing deal, apparently, with a company called Brandalised. They claim to have the licensing rights to the work of graffiti artists.

    Some copyright lawyers claim that it appears that GUESS properly sourced the rights from Brandalised.

    The story is still developing, so stay tuned!

    Largest U.S. conventions have banned AI art! 🦾 🖼️

    Two of the largest anime conventions in the U.S. have now completely banned AI-generated artwork from their artists’ alleys.

    How do you feel about AI-generated art being banned from Anime NYC and Animé LA? 🤔

    Transcript

    We’re, again, talking about AI-generated artwork and copyright!

    Apparently, two of the largest anime conventions in the U.S., Anime NYC and AniméLA, have completely banned AI-generated artwork from their artists’ alleys.

    Anime NYC hasn’t made a formal announcement yet, but AniméLA’s statement reads:

    “Based on the current nature of its implementation and lack of regard toward artists, we cannot in good faith let this kind of product exist in our space. We at AniméLA do not condone or accept any form of AI-generated art piece being used in our promotional materials, nor being sold in our exhibit hall or artists’ alley.”

    They even go so far to say that they’ll consider this a form of counterfeit and it will be required to be removed from the event.
