We're like maybe 5 years out from all historical photos being yassified and it being impossible to find the original unaltered version because google's AI is eating it's own tail.

Why are you afraid of the future? China uses LLMs too, you Luddite. Why are you so emotional? smuglord

The original photo always makes me think of the novel.

Same. I studied the great depression a lot in highschool and those two are linked mentally forever

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

It was an avant la lettre Great Depression meme. Long before google and the net being a thing - I first probably saw it in a middle school or high school textbook. It made an impression from the first time I saw it. Because it was such a classic - I must have seen it here or there over the decades. And now I wonder if it will become a meme for real.

Average gamer: "Ugh gross, if her looks don't make me want to fuck her then who cares? We'll just fix her with AI"

Please tell me this is a bit.

​There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The woke chin, the DEI brow, and the CRT nose. And the gamers not being horny because a profit cannot be taken from big booba.

We prevent porky from assembling their Brownshirt army by comrades in the tech industry developing a vr simulation known as the Isekai-nexus.

Fascists will be promised a world free from “woke” with all the big booba waifu harems and power fantasies they can enjoy forever.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago

I assume this is a bit, and for a change a clever one that highlights just how pathetic and pornbrained so many freeze-gamer are.

If it's somehow not a bit...

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago

The original photo was staged and edited.

Migrant Mother

Migrant Mother is a photograph taken in 1936 in Nipomo, California, by American photographer Dorothea Lange during her time with the Resettlement Administration (later the Farm Security Administration).

[...]

Migrant Mother was achieved through a process of deliberate and careful intervention by Lange. Although she considered herself a documentary photographer and stuck to the belief that she should not intervene in the subject of her photography, Lange manipulated the framing and the subjects to arrive at her final shot. Furthermore the photo has been retouched after capture: the mother's left thumb was removed from the foreground on the right side of the image as Lange “considered the thumb to be such a glaring defect that she apparently didn’t have a second thought about removing it”.

There's a really good podcast episode that dives into how photography rarely captures reality as it exists, but instead is the expression of the photographer. I came away from it with a greater appreciation of the art of photography, and also a more nuanced view on these kinds of staged photographs.

This photo was staged, but is it not expressing real feelings about the great depression? I get why people get angry when they feel like photographs lie, but I think the right response is the realize that all photographs lie to some extent. The photographer is showing you what they want you to see, framed and focused how they want it, chosen from dozens of similar shots to express the reality that they chose.

I wish I had more time to better explain myself, but I'll drop the podcast link in case anyone wants to listen.

Most iconic historical photographs are staged. Like there's fewer non-staged than there are staged. You kind of have to in order to take a good picture.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

considered the thumb to be such a glaring defect

what-the-hell

[-] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

i think she means as part of the artistic composition, not as a defect of the woman

the photographer here is a woman as well

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

I knew that, though I am still what-the-hell by the "she considered herself a documentary photographer and stuck to the belief that she should not intervene in the subject of her photography" claim before that.

It's a fucking thumb. How bad could it be?

When the past and the future come together to make something not quite good as either!

Haven't you been to hell? Can you comment on it's quality of life compared to this reality's Earth?

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Much closer than you think. I'd argue that this is the real hell and HFIL is the palate cleanser. At least down there we don't have to deal with planet ending threats day in day out running the asylum. Hell planet ending threats here actually get punished like the rest of us. Your reality's earth rewards them. No seriously you make your threats billionaires i-cant And then your peoples expect them to carry you to a brighter future i-cant Say what you want about hell but shit made sense i-cant i-cant

[-] EelBolshevikism@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

unfortunately, roughly as i expected. or fortunately, because if it was as bad as here than that would mean you had to live through this twice

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

There is another reason that may well stand above the others. One that is dreaded throughout creation. This world is full of fillers. desolate

For a man of his age, his descriptions of women were not at all awooga, so yeah.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

The average pornbrained slop hog would hate that book for many reasons and if it was turned into a modern big budget production they'd definitely want awooga in it and maybe some murderfucking for "prestige" reasons.

[-] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

I'm assuming this is a bit, it's too funny not to be

This makes me very uncomfortable.

[-] ComradeMonotreme@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

Does anyone rember that weird guy who edited Khymer Rouge victims to be smiling and pretended he hadn't.

I'm guessing it's a bit since the crimson chin himself would be jealous of that ai photo.

[-] driving_crooner 5 points 1 week ago

Is it me or Sony be making their lead female protagonist look masculine as hell..barely no curves or rough non feminine features..Unlike the average woman. Like *cough cough..TLOU2's Ellie...etc. Just saying #My2cents
