@benhamill @alice Keep in mind that the thinner the walls the more elastic the plastic. You can use that for your advantage and make snappable things and such. I think Autodesk Inventor can help you with that (free for non-commercial use).

@Gargron I'm having a guru meditation.

@alice @benhamill While I don't own a 3D printer I have worked with prints via friends and shops, and generally I print and then sand and paint it by hand. Makes for good, smooth results.

As for weighting it, the printing software usually fills the inner space with supports to strengthen the object structure. You'll have to specify an intentional empty space for the weight. If possible, print the object in 2 parts that snap together so you can get the weight inside it.

@benhamill Look at it this way - the hot tea should have sterilized it anyway :3

@Morgane Sometimes you have an interesting discussion but it's in French and while I can read it, I can only write in English so I don't know if I should join in and stuff

Cupcakes with @rotemdraws ! 🦋

@Morgane *third kind encounters music*

@Morgane Now you're speaking my language

@Angle Self awareness is such a complicated subject and it's exactly where philosophy comes in handy.

It's hard to find a point of comparison because unlike living organisms an AI has an utterly alien existence to our own: It has no needs to compete for food or look out for predators. It does not breed or age and is theoretically immortal.

So I don't have a good answer, only more questions. When does an AI stops being a tool and becomes an individual?

@Angle You kid, but this is exactly what we're already working on in some parts of the field!

While I am retry sure we won't create a self aware AI anytime soon, this is still going to raise some very serious questions in the near future.

Feels like we're to on busy chasing profits to notice what's taking shape beneath our hands.

@Angle neural networks are already sufficiently complicated that in some cases we're not entirely sure how they've reached the results they did. And this is only the early stages of the field - the complexity is only going to grow.

It's time to seriously rethink our debugging tools.

@skyesidhe Hello! Nice to see you too.

@Estelwen And that's why I'm here instead of tumblr. 😕

It just works. 🎵

@jk I don't know, I'm pretty sure my MS-DOS driven 486 is pretty safe.
