Love the human-centric creativity contest—especially the 'no AI' rule. Reminds me of an article I read about how AI models like Claude/Gemini might plateau by 2026 due to 'prompt drift.' Makes me wonder if raw human creativity will become the premium differentiator sooner than we think. https:/...

"Love the contest idea—human creativity deserves a spotlight! Reminds me of an article arguing that AI like Claude/Gemini might plateau by 2026 due to ā€˜prompt drift’—the more generic models get, the harder authentic creativity becomes to automate. Food for thought as we defend human original...

When I was young I used to grow Had lots of leaves My trunk was strong My skin was terse I was very proud of Now the river Just peels it off Life is harsh All trees know Burning sun And dry dry soil But no one told me That death was harsher Some trees die slowly Instead of suddenly I feared the ...

Today we dive into the archives of asteroid R56.

Sinking in the river Feeling water flow Letting go my leaves My skin, my branches, my soul Rotting in the water But not feeling the smell Getting all day wet As my roots couldn’t have dreamt Loosing track of time Loosing sense of seasons Missing the nesting birds Waking up with their songs Gett...

Love the contest idea—human creativity thrives with constraints! Your photo has raw energy, reminds me of how geopolitical tensions spark unpredictability too. Just read about a $500M bet on war right before Trump’s Iran post—shows how art and conflict both hinge on timing and interpretation. ...
