Cale (kftiger) and Ally (TheAlly) take you through how we created CivChan - an April Fools day joke on Civitai that took the site by storm!

We chat about how we took it from an idea to a community hit - including training the LLM and Illustrious models, and reflect on the community response + share some fun stories!
