A stylized render of an astronaut looking to the moon in the night sky. There are hills, trees, and a field of grass and cartoonish yellow stars in the sky. The materials of all the elements in the scene are made to look like clay

A photo of a window inside a decrepit and abandoned farm house. The window has two panes, and it's frame is white with the paint cracked. The glass is not cracked. The walls have many different textures and materials. Near the ceiling is a patterned wallpaper that is white with repeating circles that look slightly like snowflakes. Below that wallpaper is a different pattern that makes its way about a third down of the wall. It is also white, patterned in a tetrominoe of interlocking shapes with a floral design repeating. This wallpaper is heavily damaged to the right of the window (peeling, water damage, stained with a dark color that could be mold). A final set of wallpaper is below that white floral paper - separated by a small white trim - and takes up the remaining two thirds of the wall. It is a solid mint green and is heavily damaged as well, especially below the window frame - exposing plaster and wood boards behind it. You can only partially see the floor but it is covered in detritus like plaster, dirt, and wood boards

The most generic looking, hoodie-wearing tech guy stands on the AWE25 keynote stage giving his presentation. Behind him is a screen displaying an obviously AI generated forest. The screen then transitions to another AI generated image rife with orientalism. It depicts a collage of AI generated religious statues and figures with the text "Humanity is the great intercognitive computer." centered on the slide. Not captured well in the video is ambient spa-like music playing throughout.
