There's a company that makes sports stadiums out of "brxlz" (brick pixels) and at first I thought they were just knockoff legos.

After building a stadium I figured out it's basically just a low resolution 3d model of the stadium that you sort of 3d print layer by layer.

Not nearly as nice as lego, but the final product is pretty cool.

surely you've seen all the LLM generated fake lego images?

quote from the instagram you linked: "I had a LEGO employee tell me that they had 10 customers ask about “upcoming” LEGO sets that ended up being AI."

Sounds like an excellent way to validate demand then?

I would totally buy that metal press

Oh nice, I didn't see that. But we are in the right way. We just need someone from HN to create this LLM.
