Power loom built by T. Larmuth & Co., in Manchester, around 1860 - now at the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry.
> "By the early 19th century, new machines like this power loom could make cloth more quickly and cheaply than people. Groups of angry handloom weavers raided cotton mills at night. They burnt and broke power looms to protest against the new technology."
This aspect of the Industrial Revolution is now being breathlessly repeated by those who s…

ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A cityscape in black and white, viewed from above. In the foreground, mid-rise buildings with gabled roofs and dormer windows line a street. Cars are parked and moving along the road, which includes a pedestrian crosswalk. Trees dot the area, adding greenery. In the background, tall high-rise buildings loom but are obscured by heavy fog or smog, creating a hazy atmosphere. The image contrasts traditional architecture with modern density under environmental strain…
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A black and white photograph shows a cluster of high-rise apartment buildings. The towers are closely packed, but their details are blurred by thick smog or fog. The atmosphere is dark and heavy, with little visibility. The lack of clarity emphasizes urban density and environmental challenges, evoking a somber mood of pollution or obscured city life. 中文替代文字： 这是一张黑白照片，画面是一组高层住宅楼。建筑紧密排列，但因浓雾或雾霾而模糊不清。整体氛围阴沉、能见度低。画面突出了城市的密集感和环境问题，传递出一种因污染或迷雾而显得沉重的城市氛围。
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A black and white photo shows a paved sidewalk or plaza with geometric tiles. In the center stands a fire hydrant, its side nozzles secured with short chains. To the right, several small plastic stools and tables are arranged in a line, suggesting a casual outdoor seating area. The contrast between the utilitarian hydrant and the makeshift furniture creates a structured yet informal urban scene. 中文替代文字： 这是一张黑白照片，画面是一片铺设方形和三角形地砖的人行道或广场。中央有一个消防栓，两侧的接口用短链条固定。右侧摆放着几…

After some days work, I finally made my first unassisted warp, and got it on the loom and threaded up - 189 ends. It seems I had only one small mistake in the threading, just had to swap two threads. Can't wait to explore some lift patterns with this ! #weaving

With so many tokens that came before the current token, and so many possibilities that come after, it’s the job of the harness, system prompts, post-training, et al in concert with the human to weave that into something useful. Something valuable.
