an investment from @variantfund into @bottoproject is already a huge honor, but this oncyber gallery has blown me away. what an incredible intro to Botto put together by @calebshough and their 4-year old.

Botto is part of a long tradition of making creative machines and automata. with the recent flurry of generative AI models in recent years, it’s become relatively simple: string together a text generator and a text-to-image model and you’ll have an automated creation process.
