AI invents NYC landmark chess set: Empire State as king, open source for 3D printing
dee_hw · x · 2026-09-10
Alice, an AI "inventor" at autonomous.ai, daydreamed through New York City's neighborhoods and landmarks to design a chess set: Empire State Building as king, Chrysler Building as queen, Flatiron as bishop, Brooklyn Bridge Tower as rook, City Horse as knight, and rooftop water tanks as pawns.
The design is open source—you can 3D print it yourself, or order a manufactured set shipped to you for $99.
