Poor robo! But the guy. With the sheet. I died.

We’ve seen everything. We’ve seen it all.

I think I see this as more of a capitalism problem than an art problem. Capitalism attracts a problem crowd. The art bit is fun, I love this spaghetti man story

It feels like “snaked” to “snook” but you haven’t book a cake. I say that but now I’m imagining it arriving right on time

Yeah it’s the framing it and putting it up that’s the “art”, in this context, I reckon. Which is why he wanted to reframe “vandalism” as “participation”.

Probably like other accessories it’s the manufacturer who sets the RRP, but yeah, as usual, they’re going to be happy to get their cut.

Tim Cook has turned Apple into the company it is today through that (clearly revolting) ethos.

Oh right so the delay was caused by them firing devs for wanting a pay rise. “Quality” fuck off

That is what I said, but sorry I used too many words to say greed as a motive is too simplistic

I forgot to put industrial weaving machine into the LLM, and well top result is now:

1 The “Woven Loop” — Sculptural Woven Bag

Concept:

A minimalist woven shoulder bag or clutch, created entirely from a single continuous industrial weave, without seams or hardware — a textile “unibody,” echoing Apple’s aluminum unibody design.

Made using Issey Miyake’s three-dimensional weaving technology, creating form and volume directly from the loom.

Followed by a pouch and a sash… so really I have to wonder if actually this was just a lazily AI generated idea all along.

First off, yes, this is a pretentious sock bag for rich people… or “aspirational” or design-focussed people, let’s say.

But it makes perfect sense.

1. Apple does collabs on accessories all the time, from Hermes to Belkin and Logitech. They’ll sell them in their stores if they’ve have input, generally.
2. If anyone needs some background on [Issey Miyake](https://mds.isseymiyake.com/im/en/), this is a good read. People are mentioning the “A piece of cloth” line, but this goes back to the founding principle of that design company, there’s even a series of industrial weaving machines started in the 90s named A-POC (yes), one of which lives in MoMA.
3. Designers at both companies probably adore each other’s work, they’re all pretentious types who turn function into fashion, but won’t say as much. They’ve probably been champing at the bit to collaborate for years, but like, what could we make?
4. A piece of cloth(ing) for an iPhone. Obviously. Because for people outside the Apple bubble, they’re basically the iPhone company. Use a weaving machine. This was literally the only way to fulfill all their remits. If you asked AI to come up with a collaboration between the two, it would most likely… well let’s check.

The “iFold” Tote - A structured pleated tote bag that embodies Apple’s material minimalism and Miyake’s textile innovation.

The “AirPleats” Scarf - A sculptural pleated scarf inspired by airflow and minimal form — an homage to both the “Air” line and Miyake’s signature pleats.

The “iLine” Pouch - A small, sculptural accessory pouch or sleeve—Philosophy: “Soft engineering.”

I mean tbh some of these are more whimsical and interesting, but probably don’t hold as broad appeal, so the bag sock it is. This is actually pretty boring news now I’ve read a lot more about Issey Miyake. Potentially that’s on Apple, they spent most of their collaborative time shitting on whimsy? Maybe? Probably just the broadest, cheapest (to produce!), most marketingest thing they could excrete. It’s a bit sad really.

The pattern on the inside is weirdly a lot nicer.

Yes I recommend you handcuff yourself immediately, maybe tie yourself up a bit, you’ve been pretty naughty

In fairness, so did they!

Don’t start, the other lemming just taught us it’s almost an isle; island is a completely different unrelated word that they shoved an s in by mistake

Maybe this first link wouldn’t have such a narrow page / massive padding on mobile if they had used bootstrap (or any breakpoints) though

So what we’re saying is the CLOUD Act made it illegal in many countries to use American software and services that have any form of cloud storage?

You look amazing, seeing you there it feels like I’ve been waiting all day just to see you in your naked splendour. And those gorgeous thighs, woof

It’s not that it isn’t true, but hot pockets are gross enough already

Likely just the article

Super pretty decades or centuries later tho

I think it’s impossible to tell? Terrible abusive relationship with someone who starts off and you’re the light of their world, compared to someone who actively avoided you for years and then ends up being a bestie for life. Yeah

For me, I’m good as long as they “get” the joke. If they think I’m abysmally unfunny, especially if they audibly groan, that’s just as good
