I’m in a sponsored vendor talk, so this is my fault I know, but they’re demoing a browser tool with such tiny text on it. I want to shout out and ask them to zoom in but I’m too British to interrupt.

Turns out it won’t be blocked off? It’s just temporary fencing. But it’s still a space that’s normally very open and fluid and they’re going to put their footprints all over it.

for the love of god i’m begging people to say β€œgenAI” instead of β€œAI” when that’s what you mean

AI is an ancient and glorious and critical tradition and muddying language makes talking about things very hard sometimes

A monk wearing a red and blue dress, her resolute gaze fixed on us. She is holding a giant spinning top with her left hand, a mystical parchment coiled around the grip. She's pulling the rope tied to the parchment with her right hand, uncoiling the scroll, and thus starting off the spinning of this ancient weapon.

Hey, it's been a while! I've been focusing on my character art render for the last few months; here's a Spinning Top Monk I have been working on for some time.
