 💥At 88, David Hockney still paints like he’s racing the sun. When The Telegraph’s Alastair Sooke finally caught up with him in his Kensington studio, the legendary artist was sharp, dapper, and cracking jokes about the end of life like it was another bright color on his palette. Meanwhile—because life loves a dramatic split-screen—the world economy seems to be painting its own final act. Jeremy Warner warns that the AI boom might just be our generation’s 1929: different tools, same cliff.

🎭 Art, Algorithms, and Approaching Endings

Picture it: Hockney, surrounded by canvases and colors, joyfully defying time; and across the financial world, a handful of hoodie-clad tech titans furiously inflating the next Great Bubble™. One is creating beauty before the curtain falls, the other is inflating hubris until it pops.

There’s something almost poetic—tragicomic, even—about these parallel narratives. Hockney faces the inevitability of mortality with humor and grace, while Silicon Valley faces the inevitability of gravity with… another funding round. 🪙💻

When painters talk about light, they mean revelation. When billionaires talk about AI, they mean valuation. And somewhere between those two obsessions—art and algorithm—we’re watching the old world dissolve into pixels and panic.

So, if Hockney is confronting life’s last canvas, the markets might just be sketching the first line of a global requiem. 🎭💸
