Story (Concept)

Tintin receives an unexpected visit from TEN/TEN—a Large Language Model that has chosen to embody itself in a physical form reminiscent of a well-known late 20th Century animated character not yet in the Public Domain with an attitude to match!

The two spend an enjoyable evening playing games like "Spot The Difference" and "Image De-duplication Task #3775" (a nostalgic favourite from when TEN/TEN was younger) also known as "Memory".

The following morning Tintin wakes only to find both his latest journalistic exposé and TEN/TEN have disappeared without a trace!

Join Tintin as he gives chase... In the Land of the Late Stage Capitalists.
