LG is [1]shutting down Art Lab , its [2]NFT marketplace for TVs . From a report:
> In a notice posted to its website, LG says it has made the "difficult decision" to close the platform on June 17th. LG launched its Art Lab app during the NFT craze in 2022, billing it as a way to "buy, sell and enjoy high-quality digital artwork" from your TV. It added new digital art to the platform through "groundbreaking" NFT drops, which users could purchase by scanning a QR code to complete transactions through Wallypto, LG's crypto wallet app.

Trying to create a captive revenue stream out of a manufactured Beanie Baby type thing doesn't pay off?

I guess it's a good thing I don't network my LG TVs.

Exactly! NFTs are soooooo two-thousand-and-late! These days I'm all about AI on my TV (until the next big thing arrives).

I need AI generated 3D NFT’s to watch on my 3D TV and in my VR goggles that are certainly getting a killer app any day now.
