See and I had a good chat this afternoon as he demoed a new product that Samsung is developing. Too hard to explain here but very promising convergence of tools about to happen.

Ah. I tried out the template but couldn’t figure out the super hero generation. Must be the way I write the prompt. Mine was … interesting.

First time going to #FETC. I am travelling from Canada and don't have a US Data/voice package. What is the public WIFI access like in Orlando? should I get an e-sim card or will it be okay. Probably don't need to make any phone calls bit need facetime to talk with my kids at night.

How did you make your superhero? I can open the remix link and edit other parts but can't figure this one out. Thanks.
