Just got back from Japan and what a trip.
We met with partners, publishers, creators, and local users, explored the creative scene, and spent time at Design Festa.
One thing became very clear: despite the different language and market, the passion for creating, fandoms, and community felt incredibly familiar.
We came to learn. We left excited about the opportunities to connect the Japanese creative ecosystem with the global DeviantArt community.
Huge thanks to everyone who welcomed us and shared their perspective
@Waymo Ability to request a specific street to be mapped. (There’s sometimes perfectly accessible streets that Waymo can’t do a pickup/drop off on but it’s in the coverage area!) ❤️
@KPMemberService Your desktop website login page has been broken for over a week. If you have multifactor enabled, you cannot login at all due to this bug. Others confirmed this is happening to them. Reported to the Kaiser Tech Support but it's still down. https://t.co/5EDbjczCu5
POV: you’re a delivery robot navigating the real world 🤖 We’ll call it Dot.
Real streets.
Real traffic.
Real decisions happening in milliseconds.
Dot’s autonomy stack was designed for real-world uncertainty.
This is DoorDash Labs autonomy in action.

What a night in Los Angeles! 🎨✨ Our in-person Launchpad Dev Meet brought together @DeviantArt community members and successful sellers for an evening of professional sessions on monetizing your art with AZMaybe9 and Niels van Dalen, a LIVE art drawing with Christina Yen (SixthLeafClover Studios), and networking for deviants and the team.
We got together at the legendary EastWest Studios- an iconic space where music legends have recorded their greatest albums for decades. The creative energy in the room was electric as we looked toward the next evolution of our platform.
The evening kicked off with Master of Ceremony Lauren Rawlins interviewing Nicole Keller, our Head of Community, who shared how years of artist feedback have transformed into a "white-glove" experience for sellers. We also sat down for an inspiring deep dive with the duo behind @AZmaybe9 and Niels van Dalen to hear their unique path to success. Dan Leveille @danlev our VP Product Marketing then gave us a tour of the essential seller toolkit, including a sneaky first look at Originals, which is our brand-new product coming soon.
A massive thank you to the incredible Christina Yen, @sixthleafclover for a brilliant LIVE art drawing that left everyone inspired.
We also had a beautiful showcase of art submitted by deviants from all over the world to be displayed at the Dev Meet.
Between the networking and the 25th Birthday Coloring Books, it was the perfect offline community moment. To everyone who joined us: Thank you. We can’t wait for the next DevMeet!

New lane? No problem. Our universal autonomy platform adapts in real time to all kinds of dynamic road environments. Watch our AI driver detect this construction zone, interpret the cones as temporary lane markings, and proceed with the safest path forward.

Our amazing Launchpad sellers @AZMaybe9 and Niels Van Dalen are joining us this week to share their journey and create educational content for the community. They’ve already met their LA billboard featuring artwork from their upcoming digital movie. In addition, longtime deviant and professional artist @sixthleafclover will also be hosting a LIVE art tutorial at the Dev meet, and her work also features on some of the billboards in town. Make sure to hang out with all of them at the LA Dev Meet!
We’re also thrilled to have so many of our DA team united in LA!

@Cyber_Trailer The "doors are locked" means locked from the outside. The car detected a disturbance and is making it clear that people can't open your car's doors and get in. It doesn't make any sense for them to lock you in the car.
@Wrecktrooper@niccruzpatane They have exemptions since their fleet is so small. Cars that are exempt (without a steering wheel) are capped at 2,500 per year. Given that Waymo’s fleet is larger than that and the way they’re scaling, they probably didn’t want to cap themselves. 🤷♀️
