I already miss those halcyon days when if I saw a photo or video I could be reasonably sure whether or not it was computer generated.
Provenance is going to matter again, and chains/webs of trust ate always a heavy lift.

Ai automatically makes Elon taller
Perfect spot for a meteor
Mods, could you get rid of this AI trash please.
This is AI generated (source). I spent a while looking at the image trying to find the usual tells. It's kinda scary how hard it's getting to tell AI generated images apart from real ones. I'm sure with a powerful enough model, enough iterations, and the right prompt, it's almost impossible to tell in some cases.
Without the usual artifacts, there's still plenty to go on.
The scene just doesn't make sense. They are standing around in a circle parking garage next to a cyber truck. They wouldn't meet up there if they were meeting. Further, think about the camera situation. Looks like someone on a ladder or a drone took a picture from above. That's a weird amount of effort for a pretty stupid shot.
But yeah, if the person has a better sense of plausible scenes, then it's much harder to know if it's an AI image or not. On video we mostly have duration to go by, since LLM vid generation can't hold it together too long (other weirdness happens too of course, but broadly speaking we just can't trust pictures or very short videos).
Could be shot from one of those enormous heightened trucks.
And it might also not be a meeting, they could just have ran into each other in the parking lot while going to a meeting.
All pretty viable if you ask me. So not really obvious proof that it was AI.
Are there really no artifacts anywhere?
So, sure, in this group of only billionaires someone climbed onto the roof of a pickup truck to take a picture, that would be realistic? Trying to picture this scenario and it seems even more awkward than a drone shot.
And again, 7 of the most famous billionaires manage to casually run into each other in a parking lot with no one else around..... Well except the guy climbing onto the roof of a pickup truck to take a picture...
There may or may not be artifacts, I'm not really interested enough to scrutinize, but I'm thinking a lack of artifacts won't be a good gauge when someone can Photoshop out the rest of the way and/or models get better.
What really throws me are their poses. They’re all in poses that you typically see them in from public sources. Elon smoking a cigar was probably part of the prompt, unless I’m unaware of something. Tim Apple even doing the classic stage pose.
It was actually Elon and the cigar that tipped me off. Can you imagine him possibly looking so natural and "cool" and masculine? He would be holding it so weird that everyone in the circle would be staring at him and he would be doing this really weird laugh while his shoulders turned into cursed parallelogram of flesh and too much bone.
Also, if it were real I would expect to see Peter Thiel's face pressed against the glass of the Cybertruck, looking out with bug eyes as he smears oil all over the window.
To me the tell was that I couldn't see why the most powerful men in the world would just be all standing in a parking lot with no body guards around.
If they really wanted to meet they'd be in a dinner party or some shit.
Cyber dumpster not rusty and on fire is a dead giveaway
One well placed hand grenade
My exact thought, it would do so much good for humanity as a whole.
Only if we changed the tax laws right after. Otherwise the broken system will just create replacements
Sinkholes need to become more specific with their target locations.
TIL there's only 3 outfits billionaires can wear in public.
they're even wearing the same fucking shoes!!!
Isn't this AI image?
EDIT: Yes it is; https://gizmodo.com/those-viral-photos-of-elon-and-zuck-are-ai-but-google-launched-a-new-way-to-check-for-fakes-2000691049
It's pretty obvious, they're all wearing their "presentation clothes". The llm put them in those clothes because that's what they wear in the media is has most indexed.
To be fair, Jensen Huang has worn that exact same thing every day for decades, heh.
Is Lisa Su excluded because they don't respect AMD or because they don't respect women? Hopefully because she isn't actually evil and doesn't wanna be there.
It's because is about wealth, not tech, and Lisa isn't even in the top 1000 richest people.
EDIT: Looked up, and it seems that Cook, Altman and Pichai are also too poor for this circle
She's not that guy

Imagine how many global problems could be solved with just one bus at this moment.
Where's a reaper drone when you need one?
Where were you when we needed you, God-sent-meteor.
I didn't know there was a douche bag conference going on. Glad to see its board members meeting up
Elon trying so hard to be cool.
He looks like those teenagers who smoke thinking that would make them look cool lmao what a giant loser! In a context on who's the biggest loser he'd arrive second because he's a loser
Absolute worst blunt rotation.
They were all gathered! Missed opportunity to improve the world significantly.
RAM Gang
God, there was such an opportunity to just fucking floor it through that parking lot
They took our RAM!!! Get them!
Aw man! Where's a drone strike when you need it?
It's funny because drones were probably being used to murder children the moment this picture was taken so that these shit stains could have more money they eventually just set on fire and use to light their cigars.
My kingdom for a single grenade
Those are the fall guys. Where are the people of the MIC? Where are the ones with the water rights? Nobody needs Facebook to survive, but everybody needs food, water and medicine.
