This is the most 90s image I have seen in a long time.

At a former job many years ago, we had an employee get super mad at his PC. He left and returned a short time later with a revolver that he unloaded on said PC. All six shots missed the critical components and it was still running despite the new cooling. Cops hauled him away whilst still frothing at the mouth about his PC.

Is this some kind of rm -rf / hostage situation?

March 1999, based on the wall calendar

Like Homer looking for the "Any" key.

98?

IDE is an anagram for DIE

Was that employee Elvis?

This, of course, does nothing to resolve a hung task because the computer is off to the side.

I had that sweatshirt, desk, bookshelf, PC case, and ceiling light. I didn't have the gun or I'd be freaking out.

Good job clanker, another human fooled successfully. See the watermark in the bottom right.

SIGKILL

Uh-huh

AI

Looks more like 1958 to me, the whole thing is a blur. Doesn't seem like a compression thing, more like AI generation.

Given that she's holding what is the second most booty-ass rendition of what's apparently supposed to be a Beretta Model 92 I've seen in my life, AI generation seems to be a fair assessment.

Edit: And the shadow on it makes no sense. Never mind the watermark in the corner.

Edit edit: And March 1998 began on a Sunday. The more you look the worse it all gets.

i love this deep dive lol

I think it says 1998.

Another image of add to my "Women holding guns to computers/monitor" collection.

Yeah, still in the sudo stage.

I'm the cloud infrastructure business we like to call that the 9mm test. It's quite effective.

run,

RUN AS A MOTHA FCKN GANGSTA.

Is uh......is that like a sex thing? Or.....ya know what? I'm not sure I want answers.

It's funny to think she might be like 50 today. Idk

It also has the AI watermark in the bottom right corner. This one doesn't take a rocket surgeon to pinpoint.

Nah dw, nothing NSFW here.

I wanna cry man, I wanna cry. HOW LONG do i have to ask myself "Is this AI?" whenever I see an image on internet?

I initially thought 1998, but March 1 wasn't on Monday that year.

Forever. I'm sorry.

Always from now on, it won't end. And I think it's a good example here, as it's clearly indicated with the watermark. Without it I wouldn't have been sure, this image is very good quality. My clues were the calendar is too conveniently place at the perfect location, and I tried to figure out which win version is that, and the thickness of the header of the warning dialog seems too thick compared to the taskbar. Then I started to look for other clues and noticed the watermark

I'm not a luddite, this technology has some good uses, and this is an important step in the good direction that they add a watermark. Next should be an ai notice added to the metadata of the image, so the hosting site could understand it and mark as such, and users can filter it.

Bad actors obviously could remove any kind of watermark or metadata, so this wouldn't help against them, but as we see how it goes with drm there is no perfect way to make sure the slop can be always marked as such.

I was just thinking, this is not the first image like this I've seen and I'd really like to know the context I'm missing.

We can't stop here, this is bat country!

If she was real. (It's AI)

Came here to say that, maybe they were onto something...

I think it's a good example here, as it's clearly indicated with the watermark.

Define "clearly" 😅 it took a while for you and I to notice the watermark and over half the commenters still believe this is a real image.

My clues were ... then I started to look for other clues and noticed the watermark

It's a new thing, my eyes haven't got used to it yet. I see more ai images without any watermark than with one.

Folder dump plz

And no trigger discipline at all on that sudo. That's criminal negligence. Very Baldwin-inspired.

Fuck, this one got me. I didn't see the watermark. Even looking closely the details don't seem AI, the floppy disks on the table, the cup, the keyboard colouring, the phone wire. Even the numbers on the calendar seem plausible with the bad compression. I hate this doubting every picture I see on the internet

You may not exit the simulation until you have completed your primary task.

Finally someone who understands why this is just a waste of a monitor

The calendar and photos in the frames are slightly garbled
