By using the software as intended. I guess I could file a bug report, but I think it’s hilarious that you think I spent a bunch of time compositing a gimp screenshot to that level of detail, but refuse to believe I would spend even a few seconds compositing the original (with obvious 3rd arm and poorly colored zig-zag join points).

I don’t know what you think I’m claiming. I just mashed some images together, I never said I took them with a camera. FYI: The screenshot is legit. Also, you might be interested to learn about “merge down”, it really helps with layer management. docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-layer-merge-down.html

Yes, the base images are AI generated, but it will actually refuse to generate such an image (child endangerment or abduction).

I have no idea what that actually proves, as I could just as easily mess with the gimp screenshot in, say… gimp… (or I suppose ask GPT to make a gimp screenshot?) but here you go. Image

I wonder if people are mistaking my rough gimp composition for AI giving the guy a third arm…

I guess it is allowed in the sense that moderates won’t remove it, without a guarantee against an angry mob razing it with down-votes. :)

I wonder why people downvote this… some kind of brand loyalty/emnity, or buyer’s remorse?

By extension, ufo and alien abduction stories may be likened to animals trying to get others to believe they saw a tree flash a brilliant light late at night.

- Comment on No matter how crooked a mirror is, it always shows you a straight image. 2 months ago:
Here’s a hint: if a mirror truly did not flip anything, then when you looked into a mirror you would see your back, and it also does not “rotate” you. So how can you see your front?
spoiler
A plane has a “normal” (a direction coming “out of the mirror”), and it basically flips things in that direction (front to back). It might help the understanding (and possibly the creepiness factor) to consider just the outer few atoms of your hair/skin that reflects light… and you are roughly seeing that, in the mirror in the same orientation that it actually is IRL if it were pushed into the mirror…

There was a time that i was really confused as to why a mirror regardless of orientation would change left-hands to right, but not transpose heads and feet (or the like)…
- Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’ 2 months ago:
I hope it’s not “worse than useless” (which would mean “misleading”), as my goal was simply to find more identifiers for discussion or research than: norway, thorium, 1959…
- Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’ 2 months ago:
According to a modern statistical oracle:
In 1959, Norway achieved a notable milestone by starting up its first nuclear reactor, the JEEP I (Joint Establishment Experimental Pile), located at Kjeller. This reactor was primarily used for research purposes, including early experiments with alternative nuclear fuels such as thorium. While JEEP I itself was not a thorium reactor per se, it laid the groundwork for subsequent Norwegian research into thorium as a nuclear fuel. This early phase demonstrated Norway's scientific interest in thorium, leveraging its domestic thorium resources and contributing to later thorium reactor experiments. - Comment on Tesla odometer uses “predictive algorithms” to void warranty, lawsuit claims 2 months ago:
