If you followed me last winter, you might remember January-March is when I focus on an annual display I do at a local coffee shop every April. We do a scene on the shelves and theme the latte of the month to match.

A short thread on what's coming (1/6)
WIP Monday part 2. Beamos getting more time to cook. Trying to see how far away from the body I can get the eye to float with some plexi.

Never did Alexa, Siri, Ring, or any of the surveillance stuff. Didn’t think any of those services worked very well or provided more than gimmicks.

What’s the process that leads to this? Did the pizza place AI generate the image and give to the printer? Was this stock imagery they bought, and the site had AI pieces? Did they go to the printer first and they generated it?
