Massive Kid
Massive Stove
I almost didn’t run this one, it ended up being my magnum opus. It took ~180 hours and 8 pens. Unfortunately, even though I have strict protocols for marking pens which aren’t full, I had it go over the week end with one that had been used before and ran blank for a bit. It’s ok, these monster plots come with imperfections.
I found in image in a 1902 edition of the Sears catalog where they sold it for $14.95. I consider it an expression of culture, from a time when anything we created came with ornaments. It shines all the more in a modern building with very clean and sanitized architecture.
Created on the Spot
I remember an epiphany I had as a kid downloading mp3s at a friend’s house who had DSL while I was still on dialup. You could download music faster than you could listen to it, and the infinity of it blew my mind. To say that AI is leaving my jaw on the floor on most days is an understatement, but maybe what I’m realizing today is it’s potential for creating faster than you can acquire. It’s not just that I’m having it write programs that replace a ton of apps I’m dragging around for only a thing or 2 they do well. It’s that at the time I need a program, it might be faster to make AI produce it from nothing than to otherwise acquire it.
The family’s been into Solitaire and Minesweeper, tons of sites, tons of ads, looking looking, bleh. Fuck it, I’ll just have AI make me one.
