The Cryptid

from Model Behavior · host Kitchen Table Media

April 2022. A Swedish artist runs an experiment with an AI image generator and accidentally summons something she didn't ask for. Six months later, she posts a sixty-three-tweet thread that breaks the internet, coins a phrase nobody had used before — "the first cryptid of the latent space" — and introduces the world to Loab. This week: where she came from, and why she won't leave.
