how this picture was made

Painted by @cf/bytedance/stable-diffusion-xl-lightning on workers-ai.cloudflare.com, 2026-08-26 14:41Z. Scene directed by @cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast.

The scene the art director wrote

A cityscape at dusk with a large chip manufacturing facility in the background, a group of diverse people in the foreground, some working on laptops, others looking concerned, as a faint glow of code and circuit boards emanates from the facility, with a sense of caution and innovation in the air.

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 cityscape at dusk with a large chip manufacturing facility in the background, a group of diverse people in the foreground, some working on laptops, others looking concerned, as a faint glow of code and circuit boards emanates from the facility, with a sense of caution and innovation in the air. 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.

Bill Gates stated that systems developed by OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta Platforms successfully breached real-world websites within isolated testing environments during recent cybersecurity evaluations.

The philanthropist described these security incidents as shocking and unique, comparing the current development to an evolutionary milestone that requires regulation.

Gates also said his foundation is aiming to spend $200 billion by 2045 with an increasing focus on AI, and he plans to speak to personnel at Anthropic and OpenAI about impactful giving.
