Generative art is proving Web3’s creative anchor in the traditional art world. Last month, New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) made headlines by acquiring Refik Anadol’s “Unsupervised — Machine Hallucinations” (2022) alongside an edition from last year’s “3FACE” project by Ian Cheng. These two mark the first-ever artificial intelligence (AI) and nonfungible token (NFT) additions to MoMA’s collection, already home to relics such as Andy Warhol’s soup cans and Vincent Van Gogh’s “Starry Night.”

The creator of the Mutant Ape Planet nonfungible token (NFT) collection — a knock-off of Yuga Labs’ Mutant Ape Yacht Club project — has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in a New York federal court.

Logan Paul tried to pawn off his WWE United States Championship, which he had won just some days ago for $100,000. Logan had shared of him visiting what seems like a pawn shop and enquiring about how much he would get for the title. A behind-the-scenes video shared by Logan shows him visiting the shop and explaining that it was taken from Rey Mysterio, The owner of the shop after knowing about it immediately asked Logan whether he could buy it from him. The shop owner even wanted to click a photo with Logan wearing the belt so that he could send the photo of himself with the 28-year-old wrestler to his niece. Paul subtly suggested that he could offer the gold at a reasonable price when the pawn shopkeeper rightly inquired if it was available for purchase. Paul clarified that he obtained the belt from Rey Mysterio and was unaware of its history. The YouTuber turned wrestler defeated the legendary Rey Mysterio on 4 November at the WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. In another video clip, Logan was looking unimpressed and offended at the pawn shop where he had taken a $500k Golden Prime bottle. At the shop, the influencer was not even offered anywhere near the amount. Logan had earlier this week claimed that the company had made a whopping $1.2 billion this year and had launched a competition for celebrating their billionth bottle for selling. Logan launched the challenge in London and New York for fans to win the gold bottle which he claimed to his fans to be $500k. Paul has been trying to sell the special bottle but a video that has been uploaded online is showing Logan upset by the offer by a pawnbroker. Meanwhile, the YouTuber star was offered just $25,000 by the pawnbroker for the glittering bottle.

interview with CNN, he had said, “...The one number in the polling that was concerning, and in the CNN poll that followed after The New York Times poll, had to do with age, and that is one thing you can’t reverse no matter how effective Joe Biden is behind the scenes. In front of the camera, what he’s projecting is causing people concerns, and that is worrisome."

1962 Ferrari 250 GTO sports car sold for $51.7 million in New York on Monday, making it the second most expensive car ever sold at auction, Sotheby's said. The bright red roadster had been the property of an American collector for the past 38 years, and its auction price was surpassed only by that of a Mercedes 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe that went for 135 million euros in 2022, the auction house said. That would be $144 million at today's exchange rate. The 250 GTO went on sale Monday evening after a few minutes of bidding in the auction room, but at a price lower than the more than $60 million expected by RM Sotheby's, the luxury car subsidiary of the auction house. Sotheby's did not identify the winning bidder. Dating from 1962, this legendary Scuderia sports car — chassis 3765, four-liter engine developing 390 horsepower — had finished second in a 1,000 km endurance race on the German Nurburgring circuit, as well as in the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans, where the team had to withdraw due to engine failure, according to RM Sotheby's. After several years of competition on the Italian mainland and in Sicily, the car was sold and exported to the US in the late 1960s. Restored and modified, the 250 GTO changed American owners several times before ending up in the hands of an Ohio «dedicated collector» in 1985, who sold it on Monday. «This stunning GTO offers its next caretaker further touring and vintage racing enjoyment, or display at major concours d'elegance and marque gatherings worldwide,» Sotheby's said. The Mercedes 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe that fetched 135 million euros in 2022 was one of only two examples of the sport car.
