![a difficult image for the vision models. here the image they are captioning is a screenshot from the Apple ][ port of "King's Quest". the scene is in the middle of being cleared (before loading the next location from disk): this was done by overwriting screen contents with interleaving white lines. so the original scene (which appears to be Sir Graham standing inside a cave, with exits to east and south) is obscured by white lines, and appears as a grid of variously colored blocks.
The bottom quarter of the image was for program text and the user command prompt. the text there is similarly partially obliterated. It appears to read "ever seen such frenzied dancing? Totally involved in their dancing, they danced right out of the room."
the model descriptions are as follows (shortened to fit):
llava:
a screen showing a pink elephant with a pink background.
cappa:
ever seek seek oversleeping cancers
moondream0723:
a pixelated, abstract illustration with a grid-like pattern of vertical and horizontal lines, and a small amount of text at the bottom
minicpm:
a pixelated representation of a person's face, reminiscent of the style used in early video games or digital art. The face is composed of a series of colored blocks, arranged in a grid-like pattern. The person's features, such as the eyes, nose and mouth, are discernible despite the pixelation. The background is a plain, light color, providing a stark contrast to the vibrant colors of the face.
qwen2vl72b:
The image appears to be a distorted version of a text document. The text is largely unreadable due to the visual interference, which includes vertical lines and color distortions. The content seems to be English, but the specific words and sentences are difficult to discern.
pixtral:
a visual representation of a DNA sequence. 1. **Color Coding** the image uses a variety of colors, these colors likely represent different nucleotides. 2. **Pattern** each row could represent [deranged galaxy brain rant]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:t6njuiayae6nzvm6psjcvyw6/bafkreiautdrwjorn75nqsrq5r3jiry5qun4fctqxhbx7x5zr3fff2uwdvm@jpeg)

a while back I mentioned this scene from "The Wrong Guys" that was stuck in my head for ages; here it is. (easily the best part of the film btw, John Goodman stole the show)
He, along with Timothy van Patten (!) and Ernie Hudson (!!), are crooks on the run, who stop at the only eatery around:

![a three-panel "Dilbert" comic strip. Wally (Dilbert's friend, a bald engineer that wears thick glasses) is talking to an unnamed character: another bald man in spectacles, but this one has a large bushy white beard and is wearing suspenders.
as usual with (especially early) Dilbert, not much action and the characters are drawn as tiny scrawls -- the joke here carries the thing:

Caption: "COMPUTER HOLY WARS"
Wally: HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, BUDDY.
