Just closing my computer down prior to sleep and had forgotten that I had been playing around with the idea of a "tessellated hug".
I hadn't managed to do what I wanted to do, and abandoned it to do something else, but popping back up on screen it looked rather cheery.
Sometimes failures can be quite endearing.

JFC, people in tech are really out there saying that language models will be better at therapy, financial advice, and career advice than trained people.
WTF is wrong with you people? Do you really have no clue about what other people’s jobs actually involve?
Language models can’t even do maths how are they supposed to get good at financial advice?
And therapy? Just… 😑
What’s wrong with people in tech?
@bslabs @SwiftOnSecurity also public wifi was a bigger deal in the era of sub-100mb per month phone data packages.
unlimited data? I'm only going to bother with wifi if there's no 4g/5g to be seen...
In Brilon Wald wird die Unterführung durch eine Brücke mit Aufzug ersetzt. Ich weiß nicht, wie lange dieses Motiv noch möglich ist.
I am not very well at the moment which I *think* I am mentioning as I believe it will excuse the gif below in some way, while knowing full well that anyone who is paying attention will have seen me post worse / sillier / more nonsensical when I'm not ill 🤧
@Daojoan "scared of AI" as in "scared of mold". Like mold, it's not going to become sentient and eat us all. But also like mold, it has a tendency to spoil previously good things, and my preferred amount of it in my (information) diet is zero with very few, carefully selected exceptions. Those exceptions, or the bries among the internet mold that is AI, are things like automatic transcription or translation.
Today has not gone to plan. They were good plans and they fell apart in spectacular fashion but we seem to have a solution and things should be back to OK in a few days.
And the dancers dance on.
Have a good weekend if you possibly can.
@aldroid my ambition is to make the AI art bad enough for the same to be asked of me :)
This phone stand shouldn't exist!
I combined flexible TPU (blue) with regular PLA (red and gray), and these materials don't typically mix well.
The solution to make them work together was using interface layers, so their infill essentially becomes enmeshed in each other.
Feels like an otherworldly material!
@zutalorz I saw this and immediately wondered what @eclectech had found to doodle with now :)
