I eagerly await the arrival of a brace of hounds. Followed by perhaps tigers, then pterodactyls in turn. Maybe slip some orcas in after the tigers? 🤪 ---

Sort of like how, in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Mycroft presents as male to Manny, but as female to Wyoh, because that’s what each of them is most comfortable with. ---

Just a couple quick “useful” AI renders. One was for a roleplaying game where the guy running it was lamenting that they didn’t have a map for a weird location: a sun-baked temple… on a space station… that was serving as a convenience store. I quickly made a few options and sent them to him and he picked a favorite to throw a grid on for the game. Screenshot is from the game (hence the character icons) [![](https://i.imgur.com/HybobBC.png) ](https://i.imgur.com/HybobBC.png) The second was for a sensor panel for my PC. It’s a small thin monitor used to display system information. There’s various backgrounds and layouts you can find but I decided to make one with a retro radio style look. I created the background in SDXL, laid the system info over it using Aida64 and it looks pretty snazzy if I do say so myself.

In my tradition of taking prompts that I find and putting a new twist on them… [![](https://i.imgur.com/mNGjyg7.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/mNGjyg7.jpeg) The original prompt: > **Summary** > > A full-body photo of a poorly preserved taxidermied red fox sitting awkwardly on a simple grey metal chair with horizontal slats. The fox has matted fur, mismatched glass eyes, an expressionless or confused face, and a slightly slouched posture. Its legs dangle limply, and its front paws rest unnaturally on its lap. The lighting is flat and even, with a plain off-white wall in the background. The image has a photorealistic but eerie, almost viral meme aesthetic, evoking an uncanny and awkward atmosphere. Focus on grotesque realism, emphasizing imperfection in the taxidermy. ---

An AI group had the challenge “functional clothing”. I’m pretty surprised that Copilot made a decent water sombrero on the first try. I anticipated it being a struggle to get the “straw” positioned plausibly. [![](https://i.imgur.com/60NQiTc.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/60NQiTc.jpeg) ---

I haven’t managed to get ChatGPT to produce an image for a couple of weeks now. Eternal spinning circle. Doesn’t work in the browser or app. I don’t know why. I use only Microsoft Copilot and Sora now. ---

I see this on my desktop, you know a refresh is working when there is a slightly darker frame and the waiting circle goes to the lower right corner of the frame. I did it with the Red Fox prompt from Darren\_Garrison and got the waiting circle and after a refresh, it did continue. I got almost the exact non human fox that he did. Almost the same chair, just the fox a little bit smaller compared to the chair.
