Trying out a Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro 3-D printer and wow have things gotten speedier since I was last in the space. (And affordable.)

Language and AI by day, relentless tinkering and whimsy by night. I fix things.
Remember fractals? I thought they might inspire me to do something abstract on the letterpress tomorrow. But then making an interactive fractal explorer became today's project. Tossed in the digital junk drawer here: https://someawesome.name/fractal/
New month, new Tiny Horoscopes #zine to meticulously fold copies of. Folks seem to like them, so I'll probably keep making them for a while. Also posted to the companion site: https://www.tinyhoroscopes.com/
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?)
Printing, folding, and stapling the November issue of my Tiny Horoscopes #zine! The digital companion site https://tinyhoroscopes.com has a PDF of the printable zine as well as a daily fortune, astrological data, and a lucky number picker. I'll be spreading these whimsical little guys around the physical world all month. Hope you like 'em!
Just printing, slicing, and folding the new October issue of the Tiny Horoscopes #zine ... and updating its digital companion at https://tinyhoroscopes.com with daily fortunes, current astrological data, and a printable PDF for your personal entertainment.
It's Fall in the northern hemisphere and that means it's time for another issue of my #zine with no name! This season's theme is free (and almost free) alternatives to mainstream garbage. Join a co-op, toss corporate socials, and register a little free library ... oh, and horoscopes on the center-fold!
Download a PDF here: https://trickster.exchange/fall-2025.pdf or visit the main site for back-issues, printable, and text-only options, too.
Very interesting ideas in this long-ish paper on how human-chatbot interactions can turn into a "folie a deux" which is the fancy french way of saying that an unstable person can easily get encouraged by an agreeable, confident robot. (https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.19218)
Well worth the read! Buried near the bottom, in Box 3, is a fascinating set of questions to evaluate the health of a person's interactions with chatbots.
I'm imagining parents now have yet another topic to "have the talk" with their kids about.
Software update time means I get to re-test all my little apps. The PoetryCam app had this to say:
Laptop screen aglow,
Update progress bar moves slow,
Patience as time flows.
Just finished photocopying, slicing, and stapling the first few copies of my zine's Summer issue. This episode is about creative disruption. I've also decided to include horoscopes in a section entitled "Chat Oui-Ja-T". Here's the PDF version: https://trickster.exchange/summer-2025.pdf or visit the main site if you want a printable one or an accessible version. #zine #paper #disruption
