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.

Not even a joke, I went to a military simulation event dressed as this woman, equipped with an airsoft m16. I shaved for the first time in 10 years, wore a wig, and a gray suit/dress that I had thrifted. I was " Barb from Accounting".

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.

that one image where another one is holding a rifle into a pc monitor?
swagmoney@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
i see the watermark but is this actually a generated image? I’m normally good at being able to tell. this image feels fine to me though? like the reflections on the light switch cover and on the picture frame feel natural. the keyboard looks correct. i guess the vents on the slightly stubbly crt are a bit wonky and the calendar can’t decide between 1998 and 1958 lol

it’s messy AF, but lines up with 98 which it kinda looks like it was trying to print. I’m actually a little scared with this one, it’s a lot less obvious that previous generations.
People mention the gun was wrong, but that’s outside my wheel house.
The monitors badge is not any name that existed back then and they gave it a trinitron tube.
The task bar button for the error window is WAY too wide.
AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
The lighting on the gun is completely mismatched from the image and tipped me off pretty quick.
swagmoney@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
is it though? looks like it’s reflecting the camera flash to me

Check out the noise on the computer screen which magically disappears over the dialog box
rumba@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
it could be an error over an ATI tuner window, but they liked to show blue when there was no signal. The taskbar button for the window is really wide and that’s a sony trinitron tube with a namebadge that didn’t really exist back then
swagmoney@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
yeah i agree that the computer screen doesn’t make sense. but like it’s not a dead giveaway imo. like if this picture was organic, maybe these people chose an image that didn’t make technical sense because it wasn’t too important for the photos composition. you know what i mean? like this is scary close to being indistinguishable from some old photograph and i hate it :p

sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
92% sure thats a Beretta 92 FS, possibly the compact variant, but very good pun either way!
Maybe we can cause a causality loop if someone shops it into a Sig P226.
Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Def not a sig, pretty sure you’re dead on. I wasn’t even making that pun, tbh. Wish I had, it’s a good one lol

thomasdouwes@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
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
ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
In the 90s, March did start with a Monday in '93 and '99. But it’s unlikely you’d see TV static behind an error dialog window.
ulterno@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
The weird hair colour could just be unnatural lighting.
Most other things could be chalked up to JPEG (although the calendar numbering seems like a stretch - I have never seen jpeg make a ‘3’ look like a ‘1’ in that specific way).
What gave me the highest suspicion was the jeans. The stitched parts (mainly the zip part) doesn’t look like real stitching, but like painted plastic. So unless there is some product that is actually plastic pants, printed with a jeans texture, that’s not a real picture.
And once you know it is AI, it explains the background.
gerryflap@feddit.nl 2 weeks ago
Damn. Even now that I know I’m struggling to find anything that could’ve shown me. Some things are a bit wonky, like the pants, the calendar, the background. But none of it would be enough to truly convince me if I hadn’t seen the watermark. Most of it is easily waved away with the fact that the image is blurry. And details like the books, the screen, parts of the calendar and basically everything else in the image scream “real image” to me.
Tower@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
I know it goes against the general consensus in here, but I think the image itself is real, was likely low quality because it’s 25-30 years old, and the Gemini watermark is because someone ran it through to upscale it.
