Ah so you weren't actually asking a question, just looking to debate.

Besides aesthetic, I think the heart of the issue is that those generative AI tools were trained on art made by humans, generally without the consent or payment of said humans. Now you've got an interaction where you want art, you get it from a machine made by an AI company that is effectively ripping off artists, and nowhere in this loop are the artists that made this art generating machine possible.

Lol it's from the show Silicon Valley

Wow this must be the most clickbait title I've ever seen. Less than 6.4, more than 7.8 is associated with faster aging. Saved you a click.

Tough to argue with for ubiquitous text messaging and cell phones.

Very similar! Both colors are formed by oxide layers on the surface, I think with stainless steel it's a mixture of iron and chrome oxides. In the case of titanium there is only one oxide, TiO2, which is transparent crystal (in thin forms). The TiO2 layer is thin, on the order of hundreds of nanometers so the colors you see are a result of light waves constructively and destructively interacting with the transparent layer of TiO2 on the surface of the titanium sheet.

I gave it a run on Ubuntu touch with a fair phone like 8 months ago... It was still pretty rough then.

The premise is she's a prostitute who found a legal loophole, she doesn't charge for sex she charges for the condom.

It's anodized titanium - I developed a process to 'draw' the anodization layer. The thickness of the anodization determines what colors you see due to some cool physics of reflection/refraction. I have a lot of fun with it, but the setup I've built is pretty klugey so I probably spend more time improving and maintaining that than I do making prints 😅

Feels like the answer must be technically yes, but practically no. Would make a great xkcd "what if."

I make the print by anodizing - I have a pen plotter I converted for this and I use the cathode as my 'pen' to print the image.

Thank you!

It is somewhat closer to traditional photography, but it's using an electrochemical process to create the colors. I'm so sorry I can't tell you more details right now, I'll quote my comment on details below. Once I file a patent on this I'll make a detailed post here on my process. Assuming it even gets granted I intend to make it free for individuals (but not corporations) to use.

So I'm going to just say it's an electrochemical anodization process for now. The detail comes from a new process I've been developing over the last month or so that I'm going to be filing a patent on soon. I'll be happy to share with you all once I've done so, but I the idea of Elon Musk maybe seeing one of these posts and using my process to make a fleet of printed titanium cyber trucks using my process would make me sad.

Lol you're going to have a bad time looking for logically coherent memes. I think the implied elements here are: Exploitation of C is required for A. Exploitation of C is not possible if C is unified. B enables division of C, therefore A requires B. It may or may not be true but it doesn't hold up to logical analysis (e.g. B is probably not the only way to divide C)

I'm not a bread enthusiast, but those look amazing!

Thank you! I'm really proud of this one.

Not the spacing, but it affects the width of the lines.

Thank you so much! Yes, the color comes from alterations from light reflection. It's difficult to describe, but the changes in color you get from viewing angle aren't as strong as what you get from a soap bubble, but they are definitely there. If you think of the colors you can get from this process in a spectrum, viewing angle can give you about a half step up or half step down. The spectrum runs from: tan, brown, deep blue, light blue, yellow, magenta, light blue again, purple, green, pearl scent.

I've found lighting makes a huge difference though - diffuse lighting like what I have around the house is great. I've got some prints hanging in a gallery that only has spot lights, for those you have to make sure there is a path for the light to bounce off the spotlight into your eyes or the whole print just looks faded and grey.

Thanks! That's exactly it on the color, I think it's a combination of the surface roughness of the titanium plate and tiny variations in the anodization layer itself that give it that look.

I actually just got the provisional patent filed! I'm going to start working on a breakdown of the process now and throw it up on my website. If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer now though!
