- Twelve cells combine vendor status, co-authored commits, model releases, social posts, Wikipedia edits, headlines, and UK grid-carbon data.
Field notes
The altar's twelve feeds include practical status lights for major software services, a running count of commits marked as co-authored by Claude or Copilot, and Wikipedia edits touching AI-related articles. Other cells display model rankings, social posts, headlines, and estimated grid emissions. The page identifies its installation film as a render, so the extracted evidence does not establish public access to a physical installation.
