A note from the creator: Everything, from the domain name, to the website HTML/CSS, the intro, session titles, agenda, speakers, the talks, voice, speaker appearance and video are all generated via A.I. Even the above warning was created by A.I.

I (Ben Hall) wanted to see what happened and this is the result.

This is the introduction it created:

Welcome to Synthetica, the first on-demand conference generated entirely by A.I. This groundbreaking concept is a thought experiment that explores the potential of artificial intelligence in the conference industry.

At Synthetica, all the speakers, sessions, and content are generated by AI, creating a unique and fascinating experience for attendees. The AI algorithms used by Synthetica are able to generate high-quality content that is engaging, informative, and entertaining, as well as the look, speech, and even the name of the conference itself.

The idea for Synthetica was conceived by Ben Hall, who saw an opportunity to push the boundaries of what is possible with A.I. in the conference industry. While Synthetica is a concept and is not designed to be a real conference, it serves as a glimpse into the future of A.I. and how it may shape the way we experience conferences and other events.

Join us at Synthetica and discover a new world of possibilities, where A.I. is able to create and deliver content that is indistinguishable from human-generated content. Explore the latest ideas and research in the field of A.I., and learn how this technology is shaping the future of conferences and beyond.

I may be wrong, but the container could drain the pool stopping applications like Tomcat from launching

It's been great for us. We use it for deploying applications such as curl or netcat in containers without overhead of Ubuntu potentially being downloaded onto a host.
