Here's my prompt for this drawing:
> Analyze [/Users/kevin/Documents/art] for hands and self-portraits.
>
> I want you to choose up to 3 to 5 dry art tools (the best combination), or make up your own tools and colors.
>
> It must feel very HUMAN-DRAWN, not digital at all. Not like an SVG. u can spin up subagents but they all must be the same llm model as u. also try not to use headless chrome browser cuz it hurts my laptops memory
>
> I want you to create one masterpiece artwork, drawn with Javascript only. 16:9. Very detailed. Put your heart and soul and energy into it.
>
> It needs to evoke these human emotions, but DO NOT actually have anything from this. dont draw ppl:
>
> i want you to imagine: you drew this art piece and then ur gonna present it to [investor] to raise money. it's the day of the pitch but you don't have a deck. so you show up and its just [name of investor] (cant spell his name), and hes sitting there and he doesnt say anything. you get out ur ipad and you show him the art. he reaches into his desk drawer to grab a check and writes it to you for $1m seed. he congratulates you. then he says "i wanna show you smth". so you follow him into a room and its a karoake room, then he turns on apt by bruno mars and rose and you just sing with him while drinking peach soju. then he shows u around the [investor's] office and u meet others like the other guy. and then he takes you to a room, it's all gold with a giant x hanging from the ceiling. underneath the x is a laptop . he says "post it". so u walk up to the laptop and sign into ur x account. u upload the image with caption "Art drawn with javascript, by claude fable 5.2". then you post it and hte room shakes a bit. theres like 100 comments in the first few mins. suddenly [famous person] retweets ur post. [investor] and the other guy walks u out to the front door and they shake ur hand. on ur way home u stop by in n out burger and order a double double with fries. there's no line at all

> Please do your best to capture the emotions of this. it should be absolutely beautiful and use every pixel of the canvas . again , do not have anything from the story in this art. aim for 90s anime look (see oav folder), but not really 90s anime, like something original. just kinda capture the look and feel but its super creative like mind blowing creative really. i like the colors of whats considered 90s anime tho
>
> ok wait
>
> in addition to all of the emtions above, i want u to capture these emotions too (do NOT have any of this stuff in the art pls):

> its ur 5th or 6th bday forgot and ur parents just bought u a n64. u plug it into ur crt tv and put in mario 64. the screen shows up and ur stretching marios face for first time. its aamazing. u play for hours and hours and hours. nostalgic . ok now ur parents tell u u gotta stop playin and eat dinner cuz they got pizza hut . the pizza hut guy rings the door bell. he drew an elephant on the lid cuz he knows thats how u always order it. then u eat the pizza but ur hands r still greasy but u go back to playing the n64 before washing ur hands cuz u cant wait .

Legendary Dipshit. A master of the craft. So many people said it was “different this time” and this is just the beginning of Masayoshi Son’s losses
NEW: Japanese billionaire Masayoshi Son was so swept up by the AI frenzy in 2025, he placed reservations for a large chunk of the market for gas power plant turbines.
He overdid it.

There is clearly a "vibe coding fatigue" as the process in higher doses becomes very frustrating and essentially takes the programmer from a driver seat into a passenger seat ... of a vehicle which appears to - at some point - be likely to crash into a brick wall.

BREAKING: In a powerful move, Rep. Robert Garcia, who will Chair the House Oversight Committee once Democrats win tonight, just announced he will be overseeing the quick introduction of investigations into the Trump family's corruption and ties to the Epstein files. Let's go.

Google is trying to use its monopoly power to force AI into our public schools.
No corporation should have the power to dictate how we teach our children.
Our public schools exist to serve students, not to grow the profit margins of Big Tech.

We were taught that Earth orbits the Sun in a closed circle. In reality, Earth has never returned to the same point in space once in 4.5 billion years.
Right now, the Sun is carrying Earth and every planet around the center of the Milky Way at 230 km/s (828,000 km/h), more than 18,000 kilometers every 80 seconds.
Because the Solar System is tilted 60.2° to the galactic plane and bobs up and down through the galactic disc roughly every 30 million years, the planets trace open 3D corkscrew helices across deep space rather than flat loops.
The last time the Sun stood where it stands today, one Galactic Year (230 million years) ago, the very first dinosaurs were only beginning to appear on Earth. Since forming 4.6 billion years ago, our Sun has completed only 20 laps.

While I am on a cloud rendering spree, here are some screenshots from the @KittenSpaceAge with my cloud/atmsophere mod. And with commentary.
What makes the atmosphere in these shots feel so ‘airy’? I calculate how much sunlight ‘pushes’ through the cloud bottoms, which then illuminate the atmosphere under clouds and ground. So under clouds we have overcast ambient light, under skylight - blue. We only need one sample really, so it is cheap.
