The Building Year
The Building Year = January through December 2024. The room is a workshop. Blueprints pinned to every surface, sawdust on the floor, half-assembled prototypes on the benches. This is when Evans stopped experimenting and started building. The Stable Diffusion visual instrument — a real-time image generation system controlled like a musical instrument. KoboldCpp for local inference. Horror game prototypes. TTRPG adventure design tools. The Discord bot grew teeth. The projects got bigger, the conversations got longer, the cluster sizes swelled. 671 conversations in a single cluster about image generation alone. The question was no longer "what can it remember" but "what can we build with it."
