An Electric Jellyfish For Androids

Simulacrum (n): a reproduction of something that never existed.

Specimens found at the intersection of OpenWeatherMap, OpenAI, and a BLOOMIN8 7.3" display.

Just finished throwing together a quick python3 script that takes a city name as input and checks the current weather in that location -- then prompts the gpt-image-1.5 model to dream up an image of the location with those weather conditions. Resize and rotate, then push it to the picture frame. Synthetic memories captured on e-paper.

(BTW, anyone know how to wake the frame without using the mobile app?)

"Curiosity’s night would not be spent entirely dreaming of whatever rovers dream, but rather conducting a lengthy APXS analysis of the atmosphere."
