Okay, this a longshot, but: Does anyone recall an artist from Dragon Con's Art Exhibition in the Hyatt who had really beautiful embroidered patches? The art was very MTG/goth girl, eerie and beautiful Fantasy-type stuff. Like, a luna moth or a rabbit with a moon would fit in.

It remains the fact that there is nowhere near enough commercial demand to pay a tiny fraction of the costs of AI. The only way they will be able to make any money is to con governments into spending billions on this junk. It's not a bad strategy, as politicians are often bribable and ignorant.
