  • According to the article, it’s done for market research, i.e. finding out who buys what, which is a thing businesses like to know. But also apparently it allows the machine to generate “AI-powered product recommendations”, which i guess means it tailors reccomendations to each user? Which it can do because it has a touch screen, and the touch screen itself already strikes me as full of shit.

    That’s what the article says this machine in particular does; but yes, it could totally change the price on you depending on what you look like, and all other kinds of deeply shady things. You can count on a private company to do that kind of thing and then use their favorite argument: it’s technically legal.



















  • I don’t know where to start without a reference

    You can put together what’s called a mood board: a collection of pictures that are relevant to the concept. This species, these clothes, here’s a few pictures that give off the right vibes, this is the sort of house that they would live in, this is what they would drive, here’s a fictional character or someone else’s fursona that kinda has the right esthetic, etc

    Just spending time curating this collection is pretty satisfying on its own, but then you can show this moodboard to an artist when you get your first commission, and they’ll have a decent idea. And that will be kinda the first visualization, and you can go from there.
