Congratulations on your product!
I don't know if i missed it, but i feel like you are hiding two very important parts of the machine: the power supply (you call it power brick) and the water container. For any machine i put permanently in my kitchen, I would prefer having a box that contains everything needed.
WTF!?
I heard before that putting a cover on a duvet was a thing, a problem, a mystery...
are ppl making this up? is this a joke I don't get
invert, tie corners together and what not...
my family and everyone i know do it the way @pablobaz describes it.
it's simple and effective. change sheets whenever you feel like doing it, because its easy and fast...
endof story
the 'fun" aspect of these "ai art" discussions is, that no artist are involved and that they show how little the techies know about art.
replicating a style in a digital image is tiny fraction of what art can be.
it's so boring having to listen to people talk about the future of something they clearly don't understand.
let me give you a couple of points to understand what separates ai and human made images, and why art is something other than replicating and recombining what's already part of our cultural space.
(sorry for my bad English, I'm not a native speaker)
1. the medium & technique:
what technique is being used to put the artwork into this world?
I beg you all, please go to a museum full of paintings (let's not forget that there are sculptures, installations, and so on) and take your time to look at them. you will find out that the digital representation of "the girl with the pearl earrings" is not even half the artwork. it's an oil painting and that has an incredible depth to it. see how the figure is put into the frame - who cares about a hypothetical room she is in - the important part is what is being shown and what is being kept from us. the light and the dark parts..
I could go on... please try to expose yourself to art in person and find out how much more than colour values a painting is! (brush strokes, depth of colour, size, varnish, etc)
2. originality:
why have someone paint in the style of someone else?
people who are not into art often don't understand that a style is always bound to a person and the time they surface. art after 1945 had many ways of reflecting and processing the horrors of the nazi regime, the holocaust, etc
the invention of photography changed the art, but not because craftsman went out of business, but because the subject of the painting changed. before photography abstract art would not have been possible (although artists already changed their styles to less realistic)
hyper realyism on the other hand evolved long after photography was invented....
3. history and provenance of the artwork and the artist:
I'm getting tired typing this all out on my phone :)
I think i have to redo this in a more concise way with my computer or maybe pen and paper...
As an Austrian I can fully agree. we buy bread in full, halves or quarters and I eat it for a week without toasting. bread that is getting too dry to eat can be toasted or cut up in cubes to be used as croutons in soups and salads or used as a base for dumplings.
In art we use various kinds of media. These have overlapping or unique qualities, and we can choose to use them accordingly, or not. The idea that there is one medium to satisfy all the needs is rather short sighted. If you actually pick up a piece of clay (just an example) and start to shape and model it, you will learn about its specific qualities. Then pick up plaster and learn about the amount of plaster you have to sieve into the bucket of water that will give you the plasticity you want. Dig your hand in the soft mass, feel it squirt through your fingers when you clench your first..
Or use oil pastels and draw, then change to pencils in various hardnesses....
What I want to point out is that
1. The interface is so bad on a computer compared to the raw materials we have
2. Ideas are formed in the making of an artwork. Often you develop new ideas while working with the material (that's true for working on a program too). You usually have several stages from pencil sketch to the final piece, or its just the pencil drawing.
3. We don't need a universal medium. Ist great we have so many.
4. I often wonder how broad the English term "art" is. Art as in "fine/contemporary art" is very different to art as in "arts and crafts" or "latte art".
I'm an artist who studied art. I make media art experimental improvised music. I use computers and programming languages for my art, and I'm happy that I can use these tools, but I also enjoy working with physical media, that I can touch and shape.
I've been doing mainly improvised (experimental) music for the past 20 years. My instrument / sound source are the magnetic fields emitted by hard drives (hdd), signal generators and for the last year the cheapest synths you can find. I've always been very bad at documenting what I do, so there is not much to look at or listen to. also, I have always thought of my music to be for live audiences and so there are only a few releases I did over the years.
here's my ancient website hosted by klingt.org - a platform for musicians of the experimental / jazz / new music genre originally from vienna, now international:

it has a jukebox that lets you listen to hours of copyleft material by the platforms users:

We are still waiting for the chancellor's decision if he is going to end this government. Kickl and Hofer have to resign too and the prosecution should definitely look into the association they used to channel campaign money into their accounts!
Let's see how wise this boy of a leader is!
If I remember correctly you can get an ISBN for any self published book without much hassle. I used to do a magazine with a friend and we self published with an edition of 100 for each issue. Getting the ISBN was easy.
Congratulations on writing a book, and don't let anyone tell you it's not a real book, just because you don't have a publisher or it didn't get printed yet!
Apple always refuses to comment on bugs, security holes and basically anything they can not use for marketing. You WANT to believe that Apple is better.
It sounds like a honeypot to me. And it's inconsistent when he says "...we have no way of identifying you, nor you us." and his name on the bottom of the page...
