I really appreciate you saying this. Every argument against AI “art” that leans on its poor quality is short-sighted. It’s really about being pro-human.

A very enjoyable Otakon this year. Friends from far away, a good slate of fan panels, and (from my perspective) good crowd management and organization. Can’t wait for next year!

I was very happy with the attendance and response to my panel, as I thought it was gonna be kinda niche and maybe one of those things only I am interested in! The many kind comments made me really appreciate the Otakon community. Thanks to all who came! #otakon2024
