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.
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.
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.
Two things i noticed is Jeff's right ear/hand amalgamation and the feet look funny to the right of sam altman (easier to notice without the meme text). The side blinker on the white car looks a little too embedded in the wheel well but I'm not familiar enough with luxury cars to say for sure if its odd.
It still takes a lot of examination to start thinking its AI where previously 7 fingers would be a dead give away.
Zuck's face is also completely fucked. He looks like an alien in real life already, but here it looks like his eyes and mouth have been paved over by a layer of skin.
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).
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.
Ask yourself who took those pictures, why, and for whom. There's no entourage behind or around any of them something that would absolutely never happen when the circle has a combined net worth of trillions of dollars.
And someone would be taking a picture of them taking a selfie? They would be standing in a circle in a parking lot while someone gets above them to take a shot from above, either on a ladder or a drone? Forget the situation, the logistics of the pictures themselves just don't make sense either.
only difference with tech ceo's is that a handful are relatively public figures. Finance CEOs have a stake in everything, mostly publicly faceless. Even the ones directly appointed around the Trump admin, non-news. The food/beverage conglomerates, mostly publicly faceless. Dupont family poisoned the world, mostly publicly faceless. Weapons exporters, mostly publicly faceless. Real estate investment trusts, mostly publicly faceless. Insurance companies and pharmaceuticals, mostly publicly faceless. Mob justice almost always fails because it's easily swayed towards fall guys and/or it's so minor to just be a pyrrhic victory. Expended so much effort for something that'll wash over in short order. Next guy up
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
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.
You made the argument for me. Under what circumstances would all of them be in a parking lot in a circle all wearing the clothes they're most famously seen on stage in? Why aren't any of them wearing a t shirt or have a hat or wearing red? It's convincing because it's exactly what you expect to see.
This is a real thing, brands jockey for top position on one of their bodies because it can influence the rest of the group and trickle down into their tech leadership. Articles have been written about it but it's usually ugly shoes and very discreet, unlabeled sweaters that cost $5k. It's really sad because they're so fucking vapid, there's not much else to do, and they don't have a lot of real friends.
They have zero real friends, and no one loves them, save their young kids before the kids catch on. The one exception might be Warren Buffett, but that is not to imply that he is a good person.
Warren Buffett disowned his granddaughter for having the temerity to speak with on camera about the family's excessive wealth, with one of the Johnson & Johnson heirs.
Been immediately thinking the same thing lol... If god existed and gave a modicum of fuck about us humans he would have made that fucking tesla explode twice over
Someone else investigating and saying it's AI-generated is very different from saying "here's this fake image, AI did it." This is all going to get much worse...
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.
You can also tell it's fake because Elon doesn't have a cool bone in his body to pull off smoking a cigar like that. Imagine how stupid he would look if he really was smoking.
10 seconds and I've paid off my student loans, my car, and have enough left over to pay tuition for my upcoming year (attending school while working full time of course, because no one pays my living expenses and I get denied financial aid because I'm an adult who has too high of an income to qualify, because, ya know, I have to have an income to pay my damned rent).
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.
"You don't need to make up a secret group of wealthy evil people running the world to be mad at -- You can just be mad at the group of wealthy evil people that we KNOW run the world out in the open" ~ ROSSI, Milo
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.
If you think this picture should be a movie, then good news. It's called Mountainhead and it's from the guy who wrote the really very good Succession.
Mountainhead isn't as good as that (and seems like it was written quite fast as it's about the current AI bullshit), but by fuck does it get their vibe and language dead on.
Organizing wont help. It wont change. The same "System" that allowed them to get to where they are, is the system allowing you to live. People need jobs, money, purpose, things to sustain themselves. Nobody will fight for the "greater good" or follow any principles, should their own "world" be threatened. They'd rather look down and do as they're told, due to their own responsibilities or addictions. The system allows this and few "chosen ones" exploit it. They create jobs, make money, make system depend on them, becoming "untouchable". Should they vanish, they will just be replaced. Should their company suffer, the system will bail it out, so it doesn't collapse and people don't go crazy. There's too many fucking people for any system to be created in a "fair way", for it to have equity for everybody, purpose for everybody and meaningful life for everybody. Don't ever expect it to change, unless something catastrophic happens. We, as a species, don't fucking learn and when we try to change it, the system is already "too big to fail". Focus on something else, dont bitch about the reality as it is or youll go insane. Just keep in mind that things in this reality oscillate, "evil" will consume itself, and times change between good and bad. Given the fact that we have had it too good for a while (from historical point of view) its only statistically logical that the bad times are ahead.

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.

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.

If you think this picture should be a movie, then good news. It's called Mountainhead and it's from the guy who wrote the really very good Succession.
Mountainhead isn't as good as that (and seems like it was written quite fast as it's about the current AI bullshit), but by fuck does it get their vibe and language dead on.

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 are always a heavy lift.

Why does it seem like everyone is looking up to Elon?

Perhaps he just said something stupid?

More space between him makes a stage. Likely others are somewhat avoiding the smoke.
My speculation.

Organizing wont help. It wont change. The same "System" that allowed them to get to where they are, is the system allowing you to live. People need jobs, money, purpose, things to sustain themselves. Nobody will fight for the "greater good" or follow any principles, should their own "world" be threatened. They'd rather look down and do as they're told, due to their own responsibilities or addictions. The system allows this and few "chosen ones" exploit it. They create jobs, make money, make system depend on them, becoming "untouchable". Should they vanish, they will just be replaced. Should their company suffer, the system will bail it out, so it doesn't collapse and people don't go crazy. There's too many fucking people for any system to be created in a "fair way", for it to have equity for everybody, purpose for everybody and meaningful life for everybody. Don't ever expect it to change, unless something catastrophic happens. We, as a species, don't fucking learn and when we try to change it, the system is already "too big to fail". Focus on something else, dont bitch about the reality as it is or youll go insane. Just keep in mind that things in this reality oscillate, "evil" will consume itself, and times change between good and bad. Given the fact that we have had it too good for a while (from historical point of view) its only statistically logical that the bad times are ahead.
