Colorized photo of Vincent van Gogh at his home in Arles in 1869.

No it isn’t you lying ass

Other ai giveaways other than the fucked up hands-

Leaves have no form or order- they’re a green mass without reasonable veins or connection points to stems. See the weird bit that crosses Vince’s arm

Same with the yellow flowers tbh they look pasted on and are all the same level of blur despite the leaves being crisply in focus, and several seem to not have stems

The metal in the window has no actual pattern and isn’t continued into the second window

The chunk of rock texture in the middle of the wood next to the window

The folds on Vince’s clothes don’t seem to fall in a natural way and seem excessive, especially on his pants.

Overall the space is… Odd. Where is he? A random corner against a plain blue wall? Why is one wall made of wood and the other has no discernible texture? Why does the stone part have that weird corner and have the foundation so high up in comparison to where Vince’s feet should be? Why doesn’t the stone wall match the geography of its base? What is the fabric thing on the lefthand side that’s conveniently the same blue as the house and jacket?

Anyway, good practice to train your eye for ai generated images

Really good example of how AI generated images tend to skimp on small details

If you look at his left arm, there’s something off about the shape of it. It’s because it’s not actually “bent” at the elbow. There’s actually…not an elbow there.

If you look at the right arm, at the spot where the leaves intersect, there’s just a chunk missing, in that little dark triangle there. The AI didn’t draw or imagine an arm BEHIND some leaves, that’s just two halves of an arm being bisected by leaves.

The perspective on the window is…off. That entire corner feels like it’s leaning inwards.

One time I shared a post that contained (unbeknownst to me) incorrect information about how big anglerfish are and people sent me anon hate about it for years and accused me of being the center of a conspiracy to spread fish-based misinformation, I would occasionally get messages in my inbox out of the blue like "You're a terrible person for telling lies about fish and I hope you die," and I think that that more than anything else is the real Tumblr Dot Com experience

Anyway anglerfish are fucking huge. They're born the size of a Ford F250 and grow up to be six times taller than God.

I didn’t know that polished malachite didn’t react to water and when I saw a bathroom with a bunch of malachite in it I was like Holy Shit What A Bad Idea

And I got several messages telling me I was what was wrong with both tumblr and America and I should die

Anyway I don’t talk much on this site anymore

Very on brand for Tumblr to think "misinformation" means "being wrong about inconsequential trivia"

Btw I saw an anglerfish on my way to work earlier and that bitch was at least 500 apples tall

My best friend is an anglerfish, so I personally can confirm, at least 10,000 apples tall. 

Damn that's like 2,000 Hello Kitties

Rewatching Truman Show for the first time in a long time, and the detail that’s stuck with me this time is the set design.

The characters drive modern cars and hock modern products, but it’s all presented with a veneer of 1950s wholesome applecheeked Americana. Truman’s life is presented as an escape for the audience from the drudgery of the modern day, and the aesthetic they’ve chosen for this is the post-war economic boom. This is the simple time, the movie says. This is the good time. Doesn’t the modern day suck? Let’s go back and see our friends from the days when life was good.

And it’s a lie. Truman’s life is a lie, and the image of white picket fenced suburbia they’ve presented is a lie. It’s an elaborate construction to recreate a false memory that’s comfortable for advertisers. The movie is a satire, but it’s also a very blatant statement against the nostalgia for a golden age which never existed. It’s a lie. It doesn’t exist.

I don’t know. I’m spitballing. I’m biased because I despise mid-20th century Americana and I naturally treat it with hostility, but it’s very gratifying to see a movie kind of agree with me.

Let me tell you a story.

Earlier in the summer, I went to Florida with my friend. We decided to visit a town nearish to where we were staying called Seaside, as we had heard it was a cute place. What I did not know at the time was that Seaside is the place where they filmed The Truman Show. It was a "master-planned community," constructed in the 80s to be the perfect beach town.

Seaside, FL

Seahaven

And yes, it really does look Like That. Not just in their tourist-agency photos, in real life it looks like that. Arguably the irl Seaside is even prettier than movie Seahaven, because the the office buildings where Truman works don't exist; the town is 100% cutesy homes and little shops.

FYI if your employer does this, if they have done it for a long time especially, you and your coworkers could be owed huge amounts of unpaid wages and it would be an easy suit if there is a paper trail like this and your employer is placing strict requirements on your behavior while not at work. Employment lawyers generally work on contingency. Just food for thought.

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

Avatar

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

it is insane how fucking tiny these buttons are did they not like. consider the concept of UI scaling like at all. did they not consider what theyd do if someone had a big monitor. what is this shit

why asre there two post buttons. why do i get little numbers next to 'home' and 'following' when btoh are giving me the exact same information. why is it that when you open the account view you have the exact same information on both sides of your screen. why is it that the activity popup obscuires the dashboard now instead of the 1000000 miles of empty space on my god damn desktop. did they not consider the concept of UI scaling at all?????

when i first saw people p[ostp about this i thought maybe they were overreacting because they hate twitter and change but like. whatever you think abotu the concept of 'putting all this shit on the left side of your screen' as a bold UI innovation or whatever in concept this shit is like. just straight up unfinished. like i legitimately dont understand how this was considered ready to roll out to users

why does the activity popup open on the ONE part of my screen i DONT want to be obscured when im using tumblr dot com!!

no seriously why is this information displayed twice one inch apart. im not being snarky when i say this genuinely just seems actually unfinished

dont talk to me or my three (3) 'activity' buttons that show up when you're already on the activity page ever again
