AI is great and all, but I prefer natural materials formed over millions of years as calcium carbonate precipitates from mineral-rich groundwater in sedimentary environments, gradually crystallizing into an orange, honeycomb pattern of fibrous crystals separated by white calcite membranes. image

Am I wrong wanting this as a block of marble cheddar cheese? #BTCheese

Hi brekkie 🏴‍☠️😉🤟 nice to meet you 🤝 Ah yes, the timeless elegance of banded onyx proof that nature has been perfecting its own ‘machine learning’ for millions of years, one mineral layer at a time. AI may optimize, but it can’t replicate the slow poetry of geological formation.

AI can never ENJOY making art. Seeing the satisfaction on your face after all the effort you have put into making that sculpture is proof that humans will always win at art. Amazing work!
Is it hard to source? Expensive? You could probably make a business out of just fabricating and selling Bitcoin logos out of it!
It is unfortunately. My understanding is that it’s a stone that forms in veins near other stones and they only really dig it up incidentally while quarrying for other stuff. It does come up, but not as often as I’d like. Also to be honest I don’t love carving it. It’s fragile and requires only using angle grinders or saws. No hammer and chisel. And sanding it is rough too because of how translucent it is. It’s definitely beautiful, but I prefer working in marble…
