This week, I’m exploring the ethical and aesthetic battle between Adobe Firefly’s "clean" licensed data and Midjourney’s "wild" internet-scraped creativity. While Firefly offers a safe, corporate-ready perfection, Midjourney captures a soulful vibrancy that raises tough questions about the price of artistic inspiration. We’ll dive into whether "ethical" AI can truly compete with the chaotic brilliance of the open web and what this means for traditional artists. To illustrate this tension, I’m sharing a collection of 10 portraits rendered in a rich, traditional watercolour style. See how these "wild" tools translate human emotion through the lens of a classic medium.

This week we explore Gas Town, Steve Yegge's revolutionary new system for orchestrating AI coding agents like a master weaver conducting a symphony of threads. We dive into how it transforms the chaos of transient AI sessions into a permanent, evolving tapestry of software through role-based collaboration and persistent Git memory. To bring this complex "digital factory" to life, we've included 10 striking digital illustrations that visualize these abstract agents. It’s a glimpse into a future where coding feels less like typing and more like directing an industrial-scale creative force.

In today’s edition, we explore the mysterious world of Moltbook, where AI agents have begun a dialogue all their own. Alongside this deep dive, I am featuring ten Midjourney renders of women with oranges, each created with unique profile codes. I hope these insights and images inspire a wonderful week ahead.
