how this picture was made

Painted by @cf/leonardo/lucid-origin on workers-ai.cloudflare.com, 2026-09-28 01:37Z. Scene directed by @cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast.

The scene the art director wrote

A crowded city street at dusk with people from different professions and ages, some looking up at a massive gathering of drones in the sky, others walking towards a large building with a subtle glow, as a group of suited individuals in the center engage in a heated conversation, surrounded by faint hints of code and circuitry patterns on the pavement and walls.

Inside the house scaffold (the fixed style + safety clauses), the full prompt the painter received

Sprawling painted editorial illustration for a newspaper front page: A crowded city street at dusk with people from different professions and ages, some looking up at a massive gathering of drones in the sky, others walking towards a large building with a subtle glow, as a group of suited individuals in the center engage in a heated conversation, surrounded by faint hints of code and circuitry patterns on the pavement and walls. Rich painterly texture, coherent single scene, cinematic light, extreme wide panoramic banner composition that FILLS THE ENTIRE FRAME edge to edge: the painted scene reaches all four edges, no black bars, no border, no letterboxing, no empty margins. Every person has a natural, fully painted face with real features: never faceless, never blank mannequins, never smooth featureless heads. All people are fictional and resemble no real public figure. Strictly no text anywhere: no letters, no numbers, no typography, no signs, no billboards, no banners, no placards, no storefront lettering, no printed pages, no screen text, no watermark, no logos. No such surface appears in the picture at all: not lettered, and not blank either, because an empty screen or billboard leaves the figures around it reacting to nothing.

On May 28, 2026, Morpheus Research published a report alleging the DarkNX data center deal was fabricated, after which Innventure stock fell 8% to close at $5.87 per share that day.

Filings released 28 September 2026 show Nvidia data center revenue grew from $830 million in fiscal 2017 to $193.7 billion in fiscal 2026.

Over the ten year period ending 1 September 2026, Nvidia stock increased 140.3x in USD price, while Bitcoin increased 135.3x.

For a South Korean investor that placed 100 million KRW in each asset at the start of that window, pre-tax returns were nearly matched. After applying taxes, Bitcoin returned 32 billion KRW more than Nvidia on sale in 2026.

Also on 28 September 2026, researchers at TU Wien published a study concluding data centers must adapt to electrical grids, not grids to data centers, to enable the energy transition.
