“The Two Walls” by Alejandro Cegarra,

A migrant walks atop a freight train known as “The Beast.” Migrants and asylum seekers lacking the financial resources to pay a smuggler often resort to using cargo trains to reach the United States border.

This mode of transportation is very dangerous; over the years, hundreds have fallen onto the tracks and have been killed or maimed. Piedras Negras, Mexico, October 8, 2023.

Bloomberg Hires AI ‘Artist’ To Create Its Latest Animated Magazine Cover

Young AI enthusiast Robbie Barrat is fascinated about fusing machine learning with art. Previously, he trained his computer to create “nude” paintings, which made their rounds on the internet due to their eerie, Salvador Dali-like quality. Now, Barrat’s creations have literally become page-turners. Bloomberg has commissioned the researcher—who just received his high school diploma—to have his virtual “artist” design its latest Businessweek cover. It took the computer two weeks to work on its masterpiece. “AI is going to be one of the larger art movements of this century,” he told the publication. “It just has really great untapped potential.” Intriguingly, Barrat added that his AI tool would go through mood swings like a human artist would.
