I remember when Miyazaki was presented a graphic design autogenerated by a LLM(not calling this nonsense “AI”) and he ripped those designers to shreds. Pretty sure him watching the latest antics would make him burn all his work forever (and he is the sort who absolutely would)

Had to collate like my entire travel history for the past ten years to make a visit visa to Canada for ECS conference. Oddly emotional seeing my visas from 2014-2025. But also, I just want to go present my work at a conference. It shouldn't have to be this hard 😭
