Toy Mauser were around from the 60's. Probably not this exact one but something similar.

When the Singing Stone was first displayed at the Museum, the massive block of vibrant blue azurite and green malachite made high-pitched sounds when the humidity changed with the weather and seasons. These noises were produced as the porous stone absorbed and released moisture from the air.

An absolutely massive update to martypc.net Now you can choose to emulate four different systems, from the IBM 5150 to the Tandy 1000. On the PC you can now can choose from a number of video cards all the way up to VGA. And oh yeah, Adlib (OPL2) syntheis. #retrocomputing #emulation #martypc

Put my hand on a bison rubbing stone today. It’s been sitting here since it was dropped by a retreating glacier at the end of the last ice age. The sides are smoothed from generations of bison rubbing on it. Good to think about that now and then

Recently, there was some controversy, because an AI user pointed their automated tools at our website, and got a warning about a prompt injection. Nothing actually happened, mind, but our anti-AI page successfully annoyed the operator and interrupted their "work."

The Kandy Man had that kind of vibe, freaked me out a bit back in 1988.
A monster in the TV series Doctor Who. The Kandy Man is a human shaped monster made up of sweets and robotics. His head is a blue licorice allsort with wild eyes and a tin moustache.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
