I appreciate that the Guardian is struggling for cash, but I fear they have conflated pawning the family silver with selling their soul, a transaction from which there is no coming back.
Let’s all please remember that the Guardian *did a deal* with OpenAI which they disclose elsewhere on their website but not within the increasing batter of sycophantic propaganda dribble they are masquerading as articles
I imagine it's easier to come to this rather generous conclusion if you have already built a glittering and secure literary career www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

imagine how much great art could have been created if we took a fraction of the money spent on getting computers to make shitty art and gave it to actual artists

Sometimes we need reminding that things that seem impossible only seem so until someone achieves them.
And when someone achieves, even in an unfamiliar field, it can intrigue, it can instruct, it can inspire.
Jasmin Paris, thankyou for the reminder.

This is beautifully written, bleak without being depressive, and more real than Nietzsche's often quoted aphorism on resilience.
I wrote about the reduced life I had to lead as a child, thanks to school bullies. theguyliner.substack.com/p/the-truth-...
The truth about resilience
A childhood memory reminds me I'm tougher than I think.

One of the few pieces of advice I offer to anyone new or old to any artform is not to conflate suffering for your art, which is not only unnecessary but often counterproductive, with making the sacrifices that are almost always inevitable when striving for any artistic goal.
