I already miss those halcyon days when if I saw a photo or video I could be reasonably sure whether or not it was computer generated.
Provenance is going to matter again, and chains/webs of trust ate always a heavy lift.
This is AI generated (source). I spent a while looking at the image trying to find the usual tells. It's kinda scary how hard it's getting to tell AI generated images apart from real ones. I'm sure with a powerful enough model, enough iterations, and the right prompt, it's almost impossible to tell in some cases.
What really throws me are their poses. They’re all in poses that you typically see them in from public sources. Elon smoking a cigar was probably part of the prompt, unless I’m unaware of something. Tim Apple even doing the classic stage pose.
It was actually Elon and the cigar that tipped me off. Can you imagine him possibly looking so natural and "cool" and masculine? He would be holding it so weird that everyone in the circle would be staring at him and he would be doing this really weird laugh while his shoulders turned into cursed parallelogram of flesh and too much bone.
Also, if it were real I would expect to see Peter Thiel's face pressed against the glass of the Cybertruck, looking out with bug eyes as he smears oil all over the window.
Without the usual artifacts, there's still plenty to go on.
The scene just doesn't make sense. They are standing around in a circle parking garage next to a cyber truck. They wouldn't meet up there if they were meeting. Further, think about the camera situation. Looks like someone on a ladder or a drone took a picture from above. That's a weird amount of effort for a pretty stupid shot.
But yeah, if the person has a better sense of plausible scenes, then it's much harder to know if it's an AI image or not. On video we mostly have duration to go by, since LLM vid generation can't hold it together too long (other weirdness happens too of course, but broadly speaking we just can't trust pictures or very short videos).
Cyber dumpster not rusty and on fire is a dead giveaway
To me the tell was that I couldn't see why the most powerful men in the world would just be all standing in a parking lot with no body guards around.
If they really wanted to meet they'd be in a dinner party or some shit.
Ai automatically makes Elon taller
Perfect spot for a meteor
One well placed hand grenade
My exact thought, it would do so much good for humanity as a whole.
Only if we changed the tax laws right after. Otherwise the broken system will just create replacements
And we have more grenades. Eventually it can serve as a deterrent.
TIL there's only 3 outfits billionaires can wear in public.
they're even wearing the same fucking shoes!!!
This is a real thing, brands jockey for top position on one of their bodies because it can influence the rest of the group and trickle down into their tech leadership. Articles have been written about it but it's usually ugly shoes and very discreet, unlabeled sweaters that cost $5k. It's really sad because they're so fucking vapid, there's not much else to do, and they don't have a lot of real friends.
Imagine how many global problems could be solved with just one bus at this moment.
Sinkholes need to become more specific with their target locations.
Where's a reaper drone when you need one?
Elon trying so hard to be cool.
He looks like those teenagers who smoke thinking that would make them look cool lmao what a giant loser! In a context on who's the biggest loser he'd arrive second because he's a loser
Absolute worst blunt rotation.
Is Lisa Su excluded because they don't respect AMD or because they don't respect women? Hopefully because she isn't actually evil and doesn't wanna be there.
It's because is about wealth, not tech, and Lisa isn't even in the top 1000 richest people.
EDIT: Looked up, and it seems that Cook, Altman and Pichai are also too poor for this circle
Where were you when we needed you, God-sent-meteor.
I didn't know there was a douche bag conference going on. Glad to see its board members meeting up
God, there was such an opportunity to just fucking floor it through that parking lot
They took our RAM!!! Get them!
Aw man! Where's a drone strike when you need it?
It's funny because drones were probably being used to murder children the moment this picture was taken so that these shit stains could have more money they eventually just set on fire and use to light their cigars.
My kingdom for a single grenade
RAM Gang
Looks like a circle of jerks to me.
Those are the fall guys. Where are the people of the MIC? Where are the ones with the water rights? Nobody needs Facebook to survive, but everybody needs food, water and medicine.
