London The Hunger Games Play Will Get New Cast for 2nd Year

Playbill: May the odds be ever in the favor of the new slate of actors readying to join The Hunger Games stage play in London's West End!

ChatGPT Sketch turns your bad drawings into detailed AI images

The Verge: OpenAI announced ChatGPT Images 2.5 on Tuesday and is adding a new way to tell ChatGPT what you want it to make an image of: by drawing a doodle.

Grounded (T27-01) sits somewhere between moss and olive, tempered by brown undertones that give the shade a noticeably earthier character.
