Two weeks in and we're almost hitting our £10K stretch goal!
This was for Offset Printing, a stretch goal that I now realise is JUST NOT EXCITING ENOUGH. It gives me nothing to talk about, beyond using phrases like 'product quantity', 'increased accuracy' and 'colour vibrancy' I'm sorry. Must try harder.

Doesn’t he look cool? We think he would be really popular regardless of policies.

July - Catastrophe
Unfortunately there is a 90% chance of a cataclysmic event in humanity’s future.
Our software predicts a ‘world-ending’ event, most likely a thermonuclear war. It’s almost inevitable.
Don’t worry!
Rainforest AI is already developing ways to safeguard and harness humanity through the difficult times coming.
The underwater city shown here is one such example—shielding the humans from nuclear contamination on the surface.
