Funny Pic Thread VII - No swearing. No sex. No complaining. (READ FIRST POST)

It's adorable. I find it somewhat unbelievable given how long the exposure times of those old photos were. For example, the last one doesn't seem like a pose that would have been held for nearly long enough to be clear. It's hard to know though, because it's hard to know how old the photo is. A quick search didn't reveal a quick and obvious debunk.

Film emulsions used to be less sensitive to light 150+ years ago, requiring slower shutter speeds, meaning everyone had to be super-still for like 3-10 seconds. To most light meters, the difference between mid-day outdoor lighting and indoor lighting is roughly 30-100 times less light (depending on flash availability), meaning the old hand-calculated shutter's close-open-close speed was much longer and quite imprecise. Lenses' optics were also simplistic and also contributed to blurriness; the typical camera lens in the last 80-100 years might have 5 to 20 different glass elements assisting with focus and color, while also reducing distortion, haze, vignetting, et cetera.

Um... is the joke that he turned himself into a bad AI?

I think the joke is that to combat AI learning from everything we put online, our text needs to be intertwined with nonsense. Constantly.

Right but then... we become what we were trying to avoid.

Maybe that’s the joke.
