I went for a hike

Oh wow. The SPIEGEL cafeteria from 1968, transferred to the MK&G museum in Hamburg.

Pipe Cleaner Cats?
Our friend @… reminded us of our previous "Pipe Cleaner Cats" with a darling Cat.
I decided to give Midjourney and Niji v6 a new crack at those Cats -- and, same as before -- these Kittehs are more yarn than pipe cleaners -- and I still don't know why!
However, the strange in these new Cats, is strong. Plain prompts. …

So I was rereading @…'s piece on neural network-created knitting patterns and wondered if ChatGPT could create cross stitch patterns for me. Sort of? Maybe?
(Bing CoPilot could not produce anything usable.)

SkyKnit: When knitters teamed up with a neural network
[Make Caows and Shapcho - MeganAnn] [Pitsilised Koekirjad Cushion Sampler Poncho - Maeve] [Lacy 2047 - michaela112358] I use algorithms called neural networks to write humor. What’s fun about neural networks is they learn by example - give them a bunch of some sort of data, and they’ll try to figure out rules that let them imitate it. They power corporate finances, recognize faces, translate text, and more. I, however, like to give them silly datasets. I’ve trained neural networks to gene…

Second try at "Pipe Cleaner Cats" -- that unfortunately still look more like "Static Clingy Yarn Sock Cats!"
