AI “brings me more anxiety, but also, freshness”, @CaiGuoQiang told me.

“It’s similar to why I use gunpowder. Because using gunpowder, there’s always surprise...You want to control it, but then it’s always uncontrollable. It’s just like AI.”

Huge explosions and plumes of smoke had many asking what happened near #ExpoPark this evening. It was a planned "daytime fireworks" show billed as the "first expansive daytime firework event in U.S. history featuring a drone formation equipped with pyrotechnic products" @kcalnews
