Partner's parents mentioned in passing in the past they'd love to have a digital photo frame but they are all bulky and hideous. With some craftsmanship and 3d printing I crammed the guts of a bulk digital photo frame into a fancy frame the style they like.
This one will be a slow burn, but very satisfying when it happens.
Happy Christmas everyone!

EDIT: To clarify, there are 600 images of Mr Blobby created with AI, but not 600 *different* images. There are about 60 unique images – all created with AI. I got to 600 with just duplicating them sequentially (so after the 60th unique image, we see the 1st one again, and so on), and by using different background colours to some raw Blobbys that were designed with a transparent background. I didn't create 600 AI Blobbys for many reasons, one being both chatgpt and AI ran out of ideas. I didn't think the gorey details were interesting enough to include in my original post…

  2. I mean don’t we all have a framed photo of Mr Blobby in our house? I thought it was the law.

  3. You let AI see Mr. Blobby? I don’t know what the long-term effects of this will be, but they’re sure to be dangerous.

  5. This means the AI has been trained on Blobby. That seems unwise

  8. We’re going to need a download link for those Blobby pics…

    All our photo frames should feature Mr Blobby by the new year.

  9. You mean to say there aren’t four Mr Blobbys in Mount Rushmore?

  10. Disgusting use of AI. OP you really should have tracked down the original suit and actor of Mr Blobby and spent a week taking 600 REAL pictures.

    Actually, I’d totally watch that documentary.

  11. It’s things like this that I find are acceptable use of AI.

  15. Missed a trick should have done 80% / 20% but the 20% is family photos with blobby inserted. He’s there but only long enough for your mum to realise but then be called mad when it changes to a normal one

  16. I’m miserable, coughing and have a throat that feels like it’s been lined with razor blades. This has cheered me up more than I can even explain, Mr Blobby is truly the panacea for all problems.

  19. Trying to explain Mr Blobby to non Brits is quite a thing

  24. RIP the rainforest. At least it wasn’t in vain

  25. Depending how well you get on with them you could’ve driven them mad(der) by interspersing split-second subliminal Blobby images every few family ones.

  26. Tech people: “Man, it’s crazy how much RAM prices are increasing, can AI demand really be going up this much?”

    This one guy: 600 AI blobbies for a prank pls

  27. TBF 600 AI Blobby pics are preferable to just 1 of Noel Edmonds.

  30. This is the same carbon cost as driving maybe 2000 miles

  32. Seems like a fun way to use like 2litres of water in a data center

  36. Should be 800, the original 400 twice in a row, then 1 of Blobby.

    Might not spot it for a while, and then when they do, the pictures will cycle again, going past the pictures before but not showing Blobby, they’ll think they’ve gone mad.

  37. BlobbAI will be humanities salvation in the end of days!

  39. Don’t know which is scarier the original or the ai ones. Hilarious gift though, love an update for when they notice 😂
