12·7 days agoComputer based art was being used to sell books in bookstores 40 years ago.
They didn’t really sell well, and now, barely anyone remembers it was a thing.
In the 80s, comic book art was produced entirely with computer based art tools. It didn’t raise an eyebrow beyond “Oh, that’s neat!”

Doubt that would be much of a problem because coffee filters and dishwashers are things.
If anything I doubt anyone has run a scale cleaner in them in years unless the hotel regularly just replaced the coffee pots on a set schedule.
A lot of hotel rooms have a coffee pot. Put water in it with no coffee to get hot water.
Well, from the Steam Deck tech specs page:
Processor
6 nm AMD APU
CPU: Zen 2 4c/8t, 2.4-3.5GHz (up to 448 GFlops FP32)
GPU: 8 RDNA 2 CUs, 1.6GHz (1.6 TFlops FP32) APU power: 4-15W
RAM 16 GB LPDDR5 on-board RAM (6400 MT/s quad 32-bit channels)
Then what we know about the Steam Machine, also from the tech specs page:
CPU Semi-custom AMD Zen 4 6C / 12T up to 4.8 GHz, 30W TDP
GPU Semi-Custom AMD RDNA3 28CUs 2.45GHz max sustained clock, 110W TDP
RAM 16GB DDR5 + 8GB GDDR6 VRAM
See how they run on the Steam Deck and then consider the Steam Machine is apparently 6x more powerful.
Baldur’s Gate 3:
Clair Obscure:
Cyberpunk:
Jedi Fallen Order:
Jedi Survivor:
Transport Tycoon Deluxe:
I can see unplugging the Raspberry Pi in the bedroom and replacing it with the Steam Machine.
I mean, I find my Steam Deck powerful enough and this is, what, 6x over the Steam Deck?
I could deal with the text size, but the controller mapping was a pain.
2·1 month agoI heard a story about an octopus escaping into a library and was found fumbling through the books.
I can only imagine if it comprehended what it was looking at… “Oh, crap, THAT’S what they use ink for!”
And they do all that with a CRIMINALLY short lifespan. 😟

“For example, the Common Octopus, Mimic Octopus, and Blue-Ringed Octopus live for around 12 – 18 months whereas the Giant Pacific Octopus can have a lifespan of 3-5 years!”
Oh, shit, there’s 7 more Epstiens?
I went to school with a girl who swore the Bible was written in English, not translated… 🙄
Jesus fuck that’s a big octopus!
AI is a little bit more complicated than that due to the flaws that pop up in generating.
For example, here are some AI comic books that were created. What the author did was write the overall story, then used an AI prompt to create each panel of the comic.
Each panel took dozens to hundreds of attempts, out of which the author made the artistic decision to choose the best one.
