Congrats on your success!

That makes sense re: discussion boards. Moderation is a tough problem. Years ago I worked at a regional newspaper and had to deal with the comment section on news articles, total mess. They eventually shut them down.

How did you get started, anything come before Gnod?

How do you plan to monetize illubots? Could see a use for that as an api for e.g. "generate collection of random but similar avatars"

Before Gnod, I mostly used computers to do explore generative art and all kinds of other experiments.

The idea of illubots is that it provides the same service you would normally get from an illustration agency. For example a book cover. That means that the human work of selecting from the robot output, inpainting, outpainting, upscaling etc is included in the service. I am still fine-tuning the concept.

And what are your plans with sqwok? Feel free to shoot me an email or connect on Twitter if you like.
