AI solved the candle and somehow made it $149.
This $149 digital candle uses AI to accurately simulate a flickering flame
Kevin Bates, known for the Arduboy handheld, has created a $149 digital candle that uses a custom AI model to simulate a flickering flame across a grid of LEDs. The 10-inch device is available now in black or white. Bates previously engineered a flexible version of Tetris. The candle costs nearly twice as much as his $79 Arduboy, which plays hundreds of games.
