                <title>Presenting DUSK to AI Peers</title>

                <description><![CDATA[I had the opportunity to present my little journey with DUSK and where I am now at the CR3W meetup last week to a room of AI builders, software developers and people with ideas like myself, and I was more apprehensive than when I&#039;ve shown it to anyone else!

                <description><![CDATA[I’ve been rebuilding DUSK as a local-first application. DUSK is my attempt to make a practical lighting visualisation tool using generative AI. You upload an image, select an area and describe a lighting treatment: uplight the columns, wash the ceiling, turn the scene into night, add concealed light beneath a bench. The original version relied heavily on Google Gemini. That was useful for getting a prototype working quickly, especially as I am a lighting designer who has somehow wandered into so...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Or How I miss the innocent days of Livejournal.. When did writing online become driven by farming success course-slop? Why does everyone want to help me grow, so long as I sign up to an online program or join a paid membership tier? Why does Substack&#039;s notes feed look and read with exactly the same level of engagement farming as Crypto Twitter did during the NFT and meme coin heydays?]]></description>
