A few things I notice about this as a fellow NYC teacher.

1. This guy goes all out for his kids, keeping the park reservation slots at that location, which is one of the best in the city is hard. He's on top of the paperwork, and going the extra mile so they can do their sports.

2. This was racial profiling most likely. Just targeting kids because they aren't white.

Slow motion capture of a 3D printed trebuchet. Fairly awesome.

Cool! Who's the artist? I don't recognize "DDC."

@nobilis I don't know. I'm sure I saw this years earlier, so I presume it's a Photoshop rather than AI, but that's all I know.

jkirk Jul 8

@sjvn @nobilis Google's reverse image search can't find any similar images older than a year.

Also, those glyphs have AI slop written all over them.

Happy to be proven wrong though.

@jkirk @sjvn @nobilis it looks like Deep Dream Generator work unfortunately.

Tanya Jul 8

@jkirk @sjvn @nobilis I say “work”

aELARAJI (Skinshafi)Jul 8

@sjvn @nobilis The earliest copy of the image tineye.com could find is a year old (dates back to august 2024) and it doesn't have that DDC watermark ... Link

/ME still believe it's AI generated.

@aelaraji Google did slightly better and traced it back to July 28 2024 on both LinkedIn[1] and some French social site[2].

Neither mention the original source of the image or how it was created. Both have the watermark.

That’s Thoth’s phone. Just show it the head of an ibis to unlock it.

@sjvn Someone found the actual Rosetta Stone?

Cadbury Moose Jul 8

@crazyeddie @sjvn

Rosetta Phone. I hope they recorded any voicemail that would play back, even if it was just "I'm calling about your chariot's extended warranty."

...or text messages in cuneiform from or complaining about Ea Nasir.

The original owner of this Nokia phone likely used the battery to charge up their ancient intergalactic space ship

Killa Koala Jul 8

@sjvn Sadly it was found without it's charger and of course it uses a different charging port to any other Nokia.

Finally, we have proof of ancient advanced civilizations that also had bad UX design!

@sjvn In high school I had a friend who (foolishly) did bull riding. Gets on this big ol' bull who was pissed as fuck...and it broke every single one of his bones. His Nokia phone however....

@praetor Ha! I can believe it.

@nobodywasishere @sjvn right. I was dithering, but the clinching factor was that a real artist would have taken care to replicate the actual Nokia logo on there.

Good material for someone to make a handmade illustration of though! Hmm, maybe I can do one myself...🤔

Hippo 🍉6d ago

@nobodywasishere @sjvn in situations like these I'm always scared of accidentally accusing a real artist's work of being "AI generated", a situation which is unfortunately likely to become more common as time progresses (at least until the #OuroborosEffect takes over) 😢

Margret 6d ago

@badrihippo @sjvn That's a valid fear
