I was honored to do the banner for QLDC this year! I chose to trace over an official render of Mario in several different styles to represent the boundless creative approaches in remixing a single Mario game. The binary says "Mario" (though it's cut off) and is meant to represent ASM programmers.

Art of Mario jumping while looking at the camera, his arms outstretched, except it is in six slices, each with a different artistic approach, ranging from a soft painterly approach to pixel art to rendered in binary. It says "Quality Level Design Contest" except Quality has been spraypainted and "Questionable" written over.

I definitely feel like every country is desperately scrambling to dump resources on figuring out how to make GenAI be “something” because they’re terrified that someone else will have the breakthrough first and they’ll be left behind, and it’s become a sunk cost swirl around the drain.

I cannot express how bad this story is for generative AI. OpenAI is burning hundreds of millions of dollars to try and make GPT-5 a meaningful upgrade, and it isn't working. Where does all of this go? How does this result in anything?

Updated my custom OW paths patch to allow to make Mario go behind "foreground" tiles at will, which is useful for paths crossing bridges and such. While I've used this trick in the past, it was implemented in a deranged way, to which this is a much more user friendly alternative. smwc.me/s/38846
