> You seem to imply that they ought not to. I disagree.

That would be like saying anyone with Lou Gehrig's disease must look like Lou Gehrig. So we'll have to agree to disagree here.

btw I have now added this to Hugging Face https://huggingface.co/datasets/jaymollica/frogs

I will add them for next month!

clearly I missed an amazing copy opportunity, thank you haha

I will add it to next month's report!

Hi all, the site is getting hugged to death, thank you, was not expecting this kind of warm response. I will be working to make this more reliable, in the meantime, sign up for my newsletter: https://www.jaymollica.com/blog/

also my favorite SVG was def the google/gemini-3.6-flash

edit: ok better now I think

I think this one has advantages over the “pelican riding a bicycle” one because it hinges on an anatomical feature that many models associate with royalty, “habsburg” being a lineage and “habsburg jaw” being an anatomical feature.

Seven of fourteen models silently imported royalty into a prompt that named only an anatomical feature. Two of them knew they were extrapolating ("because Habsburg") and did it anyway.

Mistral returned byte-identical output across separate calls.

Gemini narrates its work in 65 comments; Llama says nothing.

If you're deciding which model to trust with instructions, "how much does it embellish beyond what I asked" and "does it behave deterministically" are directly practical questions.

This is most amazing when you click into the study[0] and see the supporting materials linked to at the bottom like a .mov of a rotating 3d model of wombat poop[1]

Been following this guy's work for a bit now, and I feel like it's more in the spirit of what art is supposed to be than what you see in 99% of galleries these days.

I was going to try that but you need karma to post and that kind of turned me off of it

Thank you! Right now it's wired up to Lob to print/send postcards.

I'm working on a postcard maker for museum collection artworks in the creative commons. It's in a phase where I'm looking to get feedback from people who might like to use it. Right now it only sends mail in the US. I've integrated the Met, Cleveland Museum of Art and AIC, with an experimental feature for Wikimedia Commons.

You can find the CC0 postcard app here: https://sweetpost.art/ but if you want to go the extra step you can install the Chrome extension and see what comes up: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/new-tab-new-art/old...

edit to add Firefox addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-new-a...

If you want to send a postcard you can use the promo: 1BUCK to send a postcard for a dollar to whoever in US. Any feedback or questions are welcome.
