Hey Creators! OMG! I'm back!!! Kinda sorta! I'll be back in February for sure. Lots going on...ADULTING in full force! I will fill you guys in on what's been going on with me the past couple of months and hopefully I soon will have a big AI job announcement! Stay tuned!

I watched too many C-dramas on fantasy/celestial martial arts movie, I figured I make one. It was hard to make because there is no 21st century term to describe the outfit for a txt2img prompt, unless you say xianxia (who knew) style. Then I used them in a Yu Menglong (famous Chinese actor that past away) memorial tribute. Well, I made male and female model and MV. Tools: Chatgpt, DZINE, Openart with Nano banana pro and kling. CELESTIAL MOON PRINCE: (img2img - nano banana pro, upload a reference male image) prompt below: A refined East Asian man stands beneath a vast, star-filled night sky, illuminated by moonlight in a tranquil palace courtyard. He has smooth fair skin, sharp yet elegant facial features, defined brows, and calm, intelligent eyes that carry quiet authority. His expression is composed and confident, embodying the presence of a celestial immortal. His long black hair flows down his back, partially gathered into a traditional topknot secured with an ornate jade hairpin. The hair ornament is delicately carved, accented with silver detailing and a luminous jade gem, symbolizing wisdom, balance, and lunar power. He wears an elegant celestial hanfu-style robe in silver-white and soft moon-blue tones. The robe is layered with flowing silk fabrics that move gently in the night air. Intricate embroidery of clouds, crescent moons, and subtle star patterns decorates the sleeves and hem, woven with faintly shimmering threads. The inner layers are pale blue, adding depth and harmony to the ensemble. The fabric reflects moonlight with a cool, ethereal glow. Lanterns emit warm golden light around him, contrasting with the cool silver-blue illumination of the moon above. Traditional wooden pavilions and stone platforms surround a shallow pool of water, mist rising softly from its surface. The night sky is expansive and luminous, filled with stars and a gentle celestial haze, enhancing his divine, immortal aura. Cinematic fantasy realism, ultra-detailed textures, soft depth of field, realistic skin tones, elegant lighting, high dynamic range, serene and mystical atmosphere, 8k quality, no text, no logo, no watermark.

Hey Creators, new year so time for new goals. But before I do that let's recap how I ended on my 2025 goals! Ooh wee! Here were my 2025 AI goals: 1. Kick ass in my new Data Security and AI consulting role. DONE 2. Land a huge Interactive AI client. ALMOST...still pending for a whole year believe it or not! 3. Launch my new Synth Haus Agency with my Digital Baddies brand. DONE well, AI Baddies created 4. Add Skye to wearable tech... Did not even get to try to figure this one out because I got busy with other projects and I was involved with SheIsAI from March. 5. Replace my former corporate salary x2 on the road to 1 year to $1 million. NOT yet but still on path.

A reflection, not an excerpt. Looking back at the “Year of the Agents” — the agentic promises, the existential meltdowns, and the few genuine breakthroughs — here’s where I landed. I’ve really appreciated how grounded and creative the conversations in this group have been this year. Meanwhile, the broader AI world has been doing its usual mix of hype cycles, pivots, breakthroughs, and the occasional existential meltdown. Somewhere in all that noise, my own thinking around AI finally settled into something that feels… sensible. Not mystical, not doom y, not “agentic destiny,” and definitely not an excerpt from a book I’m never going to write. Just a reflection from someone who uses these tools every day and still prefers to keep a human hand on the wheel. 2025 arrived with the promise of being the “Year of Agentic AI,” the moment when personal AI agents would finally step into our workflows and start doing things for us instead of just answering questions. And for a brief moment, it really did feel like something new was taking shape. Tools like Perplexity and Comet Browser had flashes of genuine potential — the kind that made people think, “Okay, maybe this is it.” But the momentum didn’t last. The personal agent revolution never quite materialized. Instead, the real movement happened at the enterprise level, where “AgentOps” suddenly became a job title and companies started wrangling fleets of AI agents like digital livestock. Meanwhile, the personal tools that seemed so promising at the start of the year quietly lost steam. Somewhere in the middle of all that, a more grounded philosophy around AI began to take shape—not just for me, but for plenty of creators who’ve been experimenting, building, and paying attention. It’s less about hype and more about how these tools actually fit into a creative life. For many of us, AI works best as a collaborator rather than a replacement. It can accelerate thinking, spark ideas, and help shape the work—but it doesn’t get to take over the steering wheel. There’s still value in keeping a human hand on the controls, especially in a year when “agentic” tools were supposed to do everything for us and instead mostly reminded us why we like being the ones making decisions.
