Incredible. Instead of just creating online trash that nobody wants to read, it can create physical trash too! For maximum art, it can feed directly into a shredder.

Indeed. But there are some good BPA-free alternatives on the market
Is there any way to verify that without getting a Lab to do an analysis? I'm not sure if I can trust stuff labelled BPA-Free from Amazon for example.

Instead of yet another chat interface, you can have AI generate content that exists in the physical world – artwork, poems, todo lists, custom receipts, etc. Incredible.

I currently use a local LLM to scan my notes, meeting transcripts, todo list and calendar. I currently have an iPad that displays some items (e.g. if I have important personal tasks to do today that I might have forgotten) and I would love it to be printed out like this.
Nothing to do with generating novel text, it's just used as a flexible API to my existing text and items.

Even if they are, that doesn't mean they're safer https://www.epa.gov/sciencematters/are-bpa-substitutes-any-s...
The alternative chemicals for thermal paper are totally different. That's not to say that they are guaranteed safe, but that study is inapplicable.
E.g. one type of paper claims to use Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C). No idea what else is in it of course, but it's not a BGA-analogue plasticizer.

Or, there are apparently at-home testing chemicals that look simple to use. I haven't done it myself though.
This is awesome! I have a very hacky prototype doing something similar, you've put way more effort into PrinterCow and it looks great. What's the tech? (I'm crossing my fingers for Elixir/Nerves but I suspect that's still a bit niche) Edit, I'm now signed up - though I'm struggling to find the install instructions for the RPi.

A dumpster fire works well too: https://gizmodo.com/watch-your-feelings-about-2020-burn-in-a...
