  • From what I skimmed their manual no internet connection mentioned. So it won’t transmit your usage or tap your conversion, which is a plus.

    Zojirushi’s core product is rice cooker/pressure cooker, this seems another variant with mixing(kneading) motor. Attatchable mixing blade and presets of holding temperature & bake temperature combo for cookies, different doughs (lean, butter rich one, pizza) etc. From what I read those presets are not tweakable so it’ll produce ok bread unless you want to customize for your own taste or start experimenting stuff.
















  • But singapore site links USDA q&a on how to reuse it safely and has section for “what you need to do if you reuse oil”. They don’t particularly advice or encourage single use.

    Oil quality is dependent on storage method (strain it with filter, keep airtight non-transparent container etc) and cooking temperature so people need to be informed, but I don’t see reusing it once or twice with appropriate care cause significant harm.


  • Not the OP but I’ll put my PoV.

    AI allows to cut junior and entry level artists. Companies only need to retain top 1% talent orchestrating hordes of AI.

    While it is still a craft, commercial art is not about being genuine; it is to deliver product and meeting deadline while passing QA. AI’s output rate outpaces human labor, and the top 1% can certainly identify what aspect makes AI output slop. Which means they can cherry pick “OK” part of AI, review, iterate, tweak to deliver product while keeping quality. The process previously involved comunication between senior and junior artits. Now companies don’t need the rest of the 99% anymore as workforce.

    What will happen in the long run? Who knows. Companies are known for only keen on immediate profit.

    This tendency is widespread and not limited to art field, nor related to the argument of intrinsic value of art. I can argue this is more of labor (and capitalism) issue, on top of people whose art stolen not getting enough compensation for their work. While I’m not against AI technology itself, its effect on peoples livelihood and climate impact makes current AI landscape hard to defend.
