A Greco-Roman building stands amidst a cluster of typical 21st-century apartment blocks in this image generated via NightCafe Studio. Per NighCafe, “The juxtaposition creates a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere. The scene is rendered in a hyperrealistic digital painting style, evoking the dramatic lighting and rich textures of Thomas Cole and Albert Bierstadt, with a strong emphasis on dramatic contrast and atmospheric perspective.” Thus far, this is my second-most-admired creation in NightCafe Studio. Perhaps the presence of this magnificent monument to Classical Antiquity in the midst of drab and weathered apartment buildings is a reminder that there is more that humanity is capable of achieving, and we can take inspiration from the accomplishments of prior eras to make something greater of our own.

youtube.com/watch?v=6gJ76s… Tax season is upon many of us, and on that less-than-pleasant occasion, we will be hosting a discussion on taxation that will definitely be more interesting than filling out a tax return. This Sunday, April 5, 2026, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, the U.S. Transhumanist Party Virtual Enlightenment Salon features a discussion and informal debate between USTP Officers on the subject of the single land-value tax idea advocated by Henry George (1839-1897). Daniel Twedt (@dantegrity - USTP Director of Community and Citizen Science) will present arguments in favor of the single land-value tax, whereas I, Gennady Stolyarov II (USTP Chairman) will critique the idea and instead provide support for the single flat percentage-of-sales tax as articulated in Section XXXVI of the USTP Platform, combined with a system of land ownership based on the first-occupier principle and freedom of contract. Members of the public will be able to post questions and comments in the live YouTube chat.

The first permanent human settlement on the Moon, as envisioned via NightCafe Studio. Domed habitats, modular structures, and advanced technology are nestled within a crater. Earth hangs in the black sky, casting a soft, ethereal light. While these look like humble beginnings, they mark a pivotal transition of humankind to a multi-world species. Now that the Artemis II mission is underway, this scene may not be too far in our future.

View of the Earth from the Orion spacecraft, on the way to the Moon, during the Artemis II mission. This image was obtained by Cybor Dre - @SeederStar90148 - from the Artemis II livestream at youtube.com/live/6RwfNBtep…. In Cybor's words, "This is really inspiring in a world that is so caught up in its own chaos at the moment. Hopefully it will give another perspective that cuts through the noise just like the original moonshot did." To the Moon! This is the Upwing vision of the future!

A painting in the style of Joseph Wright of Derby of an Italian landscape at night with a full Moon, generated via NightCafe Studio. The bright full Moon casts rays of illumination upon the rugged mountains and the ancient ruins scattered among them. Joseph Wright of Derby espoused the ideas of the Enlightenment, and the AI may have picked up on that; here the lunar light particularly illuminates the archway of the largest structure – the entrance into an ancient Roman edifice that perhaps serves as a repository of knowledge which might be rediscovered. Today, as humankind has made its first, tentative steps toward a return to the Moon, may the light from that sphere shine brightly upon the Earth and enable us to see past the all-too-common darkness that has often engulfed it in recent years.

A detailed representational painting of a futuristic city where towering skyscrapers blend various historical architectural styles – as generated via NightCafe Studio. Gleaming structures in shades of deep blue and radiant gold dominate the skyline under a twilight sky. Dramatic backlighting from the city's abundant glow illuminates the intricate facades, creating a sense of awe and wonder. This is a refined vision of futuristic architecture, where intricate ornamentation and elements of prior eras’ styles combine with new materials, advanced infrastructure, and larger scale to create new esthetic possibilities.

A futuristic transhumanist city in orange and black colors with skyscrapers inspired by New York, generated via NightCafe Studio. Although I did not initially intend for this to be a parallel-universe version of New York City, when the AI inserted the Chrysler Building into the scene, the resemblance was indisputable. This is perhaps what a transhumanist New York City might still look like in the not-too-distant future if flying cars become commercially available and humanoid robots begin walking the streets. At the very least, this is an interesting piece of visual art for the New York Transhumanist Party - @NYTranshumanist - to add to its arsenal.

A detailed Renaissance-style painting depicting vibrant red and yellow Romanesque skyscrapers towering over a lush green valley. The valley features intricate aqueducts and majestic Greco-Roman temples with ornate domes. I was finally able to see this scene produced via NightCafe Studio, as prior generative AI systems failed to accurately respond to this prompt. The scenery here is perhaps what one would have seen in Italy circa 1000 CE if the Dark Ages had not occurred and if the Roman Empire had either persisted or if its successor state, the Kingdom of Italy, had not been ravaged during the Gothic Wars and subsequent Lombard invasions. The architectural and engineering skills of the Romans would then have been preserved and extended to larger structures, and the Romanesque style of late 1st, early 2ndmillennium would have been conducive to large, solidly built skyscrapers.

Detailed representational painting of a space fortress in the Renaissance architectural style with Corinthian columns overlooking a valley on an ice planet with bluish ice and a light blue sky – an impressive scene generated via NightCafe Studio using one of my favorite prompts for testing generative AI models. In addition to the Renaissance-style structure at the top, the AI included a more futuristic fortress at a lower level that still reflects some historic influences and appears somewhat castle-like with its concentric layers of fortifications. The expanded prompt from NightCafe shows that the AI selected stylistic influences that would particularly appeal to me. “A highly detailed representational painting of a magnificent space fortress in the Renaissance architectural style, complete with ornate Corinthian columns, majestically overlooking a serene valley on a distant ice planet. The landscape features vast expanses of striking bluish ice under a clear, light blue sky. The scene is rendered in a dramatic, painterly style reminiscent of the epic fantasy landscapes of Albert Bierstadt and Thomas Cole, with a focus on atmospheric perspective and a rich, cool color palette, soft ambient light, and a sense of profound isolation.”

A Domed Spaceship in a Forest – a two-part experiment with NightCafe Studio, where the AI also enhances one’s prompt in the process of creating the image. Here is how NightCafe Studio describes this image set: A sleek, silver domed spaceship rests amidst a dense, ancient forest. Sunlight filters through the emerald canopy, creating dappled patterns on the ship's hull and the moss-covered forest floor. The scene is rendered in a realistic concept art style, with a focus on atmospheric lighting and intricate detail. Then the domed spaceship, gleaming metallic, ascends rapidly from the dense forest, its engines emitting a soft blue glow that illuminates the surrounding ancient trees. Sunlight filters through the canopy, creating dappled patterns on the spaceship's hull. The lighting is dynamic, with volumetric light rays cutting through the mist rising from the forest floor.

youtube.com/watch?v=44esSI… On Sunday, March 29, 2026, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, the U.S. Transhumanist Party invites Pete Karas - @petekaras, who is running for Secretary of State in Wisconsin and seeking the USTP’s endorsement, to discuss his campaign and key ideas, as well as areas of alignment with the U.S. Transhumanist Party Platform. Members of the public will be able to post questions and comments in the live YouTube chat. Pete Karas believes that government should embrace innovation and use technology to improve democratic participation, access to information, and transparency. His campaign is pushing back against the structural barriers that make it hard for independent and third-party candidates to compete. In his view, fair ballot access, open debates, and electoral reforms are essential if we want a political system that actually allows new movements and ideas to grow. Pete Karas thinks that that the Secretary of State should provide a platform for transparency, modernization of government systems, and making public information easier for citizens to access. Pete Karas has worked in both the public and private sectors, from managing teams at a large insurance firm to launching and running his own business. Pete has never voted for a Democrat or a Republican for President. He believes the two-party system is not just broken but fundamentally anti-democratic. He is currently running as a third-party candidate with the Green Party in Wisconsin. Visit the campaign website of Pete Karas at petekaras.com.

Two mega-skyscrapers are connected by an immense skybridge bordered by neon blue lights – but this particular skybridge is translucent on essentially all sides and has a viewing area that extends outward, past the walkway between the two buildings, such that one can observe the skyscraper city in the distance, while essentially feeling as if one is suspended in mid-air. More generally, skybridges between buildings, as well as over streets, would greatly improve the experience and quality of life for many, as well as facilitate safety and reduce exposure to the vicissitudes of harsh weather. This image is a creation of Cybor Dre – @SeederStar90148 – of Tomorrow’s Canvas – facebook.com/profile.php?id…– where hopeful visions of a technologically driven future are envisioned.

Painting in the Italian Baroque style of a landscape in the month of March, transitioning from a storm at night to a bright sunrise, generated via the Grok 2 AI. The clouds on the left appear nearly black, but as the Sun shines upon them, they transition to orange and golden colors, just as the landscape beneath them transitions from rugged cliffs on the left to a verdant valley in the center and an elegant Neoclassical building to the right. This is a changing of seasons, and a shift from night to day, and from wilderness to civilization, all in one scene. This is one of the images used in Movement XII – From Storm to Sunlight – of the 52-movement AI Baroque Grand Concerto, The 52 Weeks, to which you can listen at youtube.com/watch?v=7PMHtv….
