✨As the year draws to a close, it’s time again to reflect on life and work. While 2022 was mostly about transitioning out of the COVID-19 pandemic, 2023 provided the time to set new goals and work towards them.

Today I gave an impromptu talk to my colleagues laying out an example of how 🪄 LLMs 🪄, believe it or not, actually helped me do a real data analysis in, believe it or not, real life.

✨ Had a great time co-hosting this with @DeaBankova
As a part of the workshop, we introduced p5.js as a tool for creative coding and went on to create some Mandalas for fun!
We also showed a demo of manipulating webcam video inputs and creating patterns with gestures.
