I’ve been playing around with AI pipelines that use vision to describe a real photo in the form of a detailed text prompt for an image diffusion model. Basically image-to-text-to-image. The results are sometimes eerily close.

Sora is getting pretty good! It’s a little uncanny valley but passable.

Agreed! This scene always reminds me of my wife and I. 🤣
A still from the movie WALL-E featuring two robotic characters, WALL-E, small and boxy with expressive binocular-like eyes, and EVE, sleek and egg-shaped, standing on a bridge. WALL-E is adorned with Christmas lights that also wrap around EVE, creating a warm and festive atmosphere. The background depicts a dystopian, rubble-filled landscape bathed in warm hues.

Remember when you called an obvious Nazi salute an “awkward gesture”? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
X post from Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), addressing Elon Musk. The post reads: “We’ve said it hundreds of times before and we will say it again: the Holocaust was a singularly evil event, and it is inappropriate and offensive to make light of it. @elonmusk, the Holocaust is not a joke.” Below Greenblatt’s post is a screenshot of a tweet from Elon Musk, which states: “Don’t say Hess to Nazi accusations! Some people will Goebbels anything down! Stop Göring your enemies!” The context suggests Greenblatt’s response is criticizing Musk for using wordplay involving the names of prominent Nazi leaders, which he interprets as trivializing the Holocaust.

Is it just me or is Amazon undergoing rapid (or at least accelerated) enshittification? This is their chat bot responding to “what options do I have to talk to a human at Amazon right now?”
An Amazon AI chat bot screenshot showing the following text: “I don’t have access to Amazon’s customer service options. However, here are a few suggestions that may help you reach a human representative: Sorry, I can’t help with that.”

Cold but beautiful in San Francisco today! #sanfrancisco
A city street scene with tall buildings framing the background, some with ornate architecture. The foreground features bare tree branches, creating an intricate web against the clear sky. A classic black lamppost stands prominently, and a traffic light displays a red signal. The scene includes small groups of pedestrians and vehicles, suggesting an urban atmosphere on a calm day. Flags and greenery are visible near the bottom right, adding color to the composition.

Beautiful architecture at the Seattle Aquarium
A dimly lit room with a dome-like structure featuring large vertical and angled windows, providing an underwater view of an aquarium. The scene includes murky water, visible fish, and submerged structures such as beams or pilings with rust and algae. In the foreground, several people are seated or leaning against a curved wooden railing, looking out through the windows. The room has a carpeted floor, and there are faint lights and informational panels visible along the walls.

I've really been enjoying season 2 of Silo. I rage-read the books after the season 1 finale cliffhanger and was worried I wouldn't enjoy season 2 as much as a result. I was wrong!
