CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@f4grx @kde (okay technically Waifu2x is "generative AI," in the sense that it uses a convolutional neural network to produce its output, but it's from 2015, doesn't consume nearly as much electricity or water, and doesn't plagiarize the entire Internet, so it's categorically different IMO.)

@f4grx @kde looks like scaling artifacts from something like Waifu2x (which is not gen AI). Also, it's from 2001.

The 2026 art is rough, but also doesn't look like AI. You can clearly see clean brush strokes throughout the art, which is not something you would expect in AI-generated art. My guess is that the version in the second image was a quick-and-dirty draft, and then the artist made the cleaned-up art in the first picture.

@mjdxp @foone @gloriouscow Keyboardio uses it for the connector between the two halves of their split keyboards. (They come with an adorable little 5 cm cord that you can use if you put them together in a stand)

It's a nice little serial connector for things you don't have to unplug very often.
