Aleppo, Syria. #Solar #solarpunk

@[email protected] should be visible looking at a satellite map. It's not, because it is AI bullshit. You'd think people would be smarter in 2026 but you'd be wrong.
@Axomamma Services like Google don't show when areal photos were take (only current date for copyright), Alleppo on Google Maps is roughly from 2023. https://www.reutersconnect.com/item/top-down-aerial-drone-view-of-aleppo-city-streets-and-buildings/dGFnOnJldXRlcnMuY29tLDIwMjY6bmV3c21sX01UMU5VUlBITzAwMFAwNlZFVA?lastViewed=dGFnOnJldXRlcnMuY29tLDIwMjY6bmV3c21sX01UMU5VUlBITzAwMFAwNzE3Vg&position=1 is a current picture which shows some of the solar installations, not the exact street

@dahie Absolutely. But is no evidence it's real. If it were, there would be other photos as well as news stories about a massive uptick in residential solar being built is Syria. There are none.

There are no solar panels in the photo you linked to.

@Axomamma @dahie

If you scroll down about halfway through this article theres another image where the enormous amount of solar panels on the rooftops can be seen, so if it indeed is AI, it's making a fake out of a very real thing.

Photos: Civilians flee Aleppo amid intensified fighting

Thousands displaced in Aleppo as clashes between Syrian forces and the SDF intensify for the third consecutive day.

@Valfardsutskott IT IS STILL A FUCKING FAKE PICTURE GENERATED USING AI, AND THAT IS THE POINT - IT MISREPRESENTS REALITY.

What is your problem? Obviously solar panels exist. Why are you so desperate to defend a wild exaggeration?

Please do not explain to me. Have a chat with yourself about your need to cling to bullshit in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contary.

@Axomamma Not everything that seems impressive is automatically AI; even if the alt-right try to establish this opinion, even if there is real chance this photo is indeed generated: Sometimes it only needs a skilled photographer choosing the right angle.

@Axomamma @Valfardsutskott I appreciate the skepticism but it is not a fake/AI pic, it's real.
