I’m not sure how practical this is; the actual tabletop seems like it might not be extravagantly study, being held together with many, many glue joints. But as *art* it’s pretty durned nifty.
Comics MATTER w/Ya Boi Zack on YouTube asked this: If AI Art isn’t “real” art then explain THIS. @conor902 3 hours ago It’s crazy that there are people in this world that think a banana taped to a wall is art, but this masterpiece isn’t.
If it works, if it’s affordable, and if it makes us that much less reliant upon the crappier parts of the world… hey, great, soy-infused tires. Goodyear’s New Tire Is Made From Soybean Oil, Rice Husks And Pine Resin At CES 2023, the company revealed a tire in which 90 percent of its components…
Here’s your new “zombie apocalypse writing prompt:” Study using mosquitoes to deliver vaccines has Chinese researchers buzzing In an article published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Communications on December 16, researchers said they had developed new technology that can turn a mosquito into a flying vaccine carrier to immunise animals in the wild.

The title of this YouTube video claims that “Chrome Lords” was a 1988 movie that ripped off “RoboCop” and “Terminator.” But in fact “Chrome Lords” never existed.

This line of large scale accurate fighter planes was sort of peak Golden Age Of Toys For Adults, even though they sold for a reasonable price at WalMart.

So much for “entry level” jobs… Welcome to the First Ever McDonald’s Where You’re Served by Robots—In Texas @foodiemunster @McDonald’s has a new…
Here’s something interesting… AI-Created Comic Has Been Deemed Ineligible for Copyright Protection If AI created art is ineligible for copyright protection, that’ll set up a roadblock to the forthcoming artpoclypse. It isn’t complete protection, of course… I’m sure there’s some spectrum between “eligible” and “ineligible.” How much manual tinkering a bit of AI-art needs…

The last few years have seen a lot of historic landmarks trashed. Get ready for another one: Holmdel Horn — Which Heard Evidence of the Big Bang — Is at Risk This early radio telescope was the first to detect the “hiss” of the cosmic background radiation. Most people are, most likely, wholly unimpressed with…
