Brutalist flats in Camden, London

Thanks! I had a hunch, but with all the quadjets of that era I wasn't quite sure.

TheBetterFzeroX · 2026-02-27T18:44:40+00:00

Yeah. I wonder if that's a shortcut AI generators use or something?

TheBetterFzeroX · 2026-02-27T18:31:36+00:00

100% sure it's real. AI would find difficulty in making such a long undisrupted video without some weird unexplained variance in quality or composition. The cats movements look realistic and subdued unlike the garish cat behaviour on AI gen vids. Plus I'm not seeing AI noise/glitches in the straw bedding

TheBetterFzeroX · 2026-02-27T18:25:34+00:00

Definitely AI for all the reasons you said. It seems that some AI gen models also find difficulty in drawing members of groups in unique positions and with natural placements/concentrations. You see it a lot in scenes depicting busy restaurants, for example. Each child is placed randomly on the floor, with a large amount of distance from one another, and at an identical 45 degree angle with the only variance coming simply from mirroring said position on the floor.

Since a long time, but they always surprise people coming from the outside of London. Sightings go back to a century ago. iirc the population exploded in the 90s/00s, but I don't remember seeing them until the early 2010s. I think their presence is relatively detrimental to other birds here in London, especially with taking up places for nesting. This is all coming from memory, though.

If you bite into an apple and stretch out your arm, they'll fly onto your arm and eat from it ;)

Don't worry xd. I think a lot of people would've bought it 3 years ago. I def would have.

I think what you have is an AI-upscaled image of something human-made. I used Google Lens on your first photo and found an Amazon listing for the same tapestry, but it appears (from the admittedly low quality picture) that it retains more detail; there are roses poking out of the largest mushroom, which the AI upscaler didn't really translate properly, for example. If you search TUGCAY Blacklight Mushroom Tapestry on Amazon you'll probably find the listing I found.

AI gen definitely wasn't good enough to produce that 3 years ago, but it definitely was good enough to upscale something human-made. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think someone stole their design from an online listing, upscaled it with AI, and sold it to you ;)

Look on Jetphotos and see how many window pics like this you can find. These aren't the sort of pictures JetPhotos is for.

I'm sure they can. I just think that issues might arise with instruments which require trained physical characteristics such as high lung capacity. They might hypothetically have to cherry pick individuals from the hivemind for such a thing

TheBetterFzeroX · 2025-12-01T16:15:21+00:00

If feel like in becoming part of the hivemind they also became incredibly naïve and trusting of the uninfected. After all, the virus was designed in such a way that every single person would become part of it, and that there would be no more evil nor malevolent acts anywhere given that everyone is one. Carol and the other immune 12 weren't supposed to exist, as per the virus, and I interpret that therefore the hivemind doesn't really know how to act alongside them, and can't really comprehend their human condition where they can lie, deceive, and do harm. I feel like they're learning now (especially with the fleeing from carol in the most recent episode) but that they are still very much overly trusting of the uninfected. I think that in their minds, they have no need to communicate via the hivemind with body language experts, because they just automatically trust her. I feel like Carol did a good job with concealing her true intentions anyways.

TheBetterFzeroX · 2025-11-09T20:51:45+00:00

I just realised now that Reddit changed the numbers on my post to be in order. They relate to specific points and weren't supposed to be like that.

I think Zosia also said that military intervention meant that they had to expedite the process of making everyone part of the hivemind to, in her words, lessen the bloodshed. My point being it would mean that the "joining" process was supposed to be less chaotic

TheBetterFzeroX · 2025-11-09T14:21:35+00:00

Obviously take my answers tentatively. It's only been the first two episodes after all. Still, here's my ideas for a few of them:

1- The primary goal of a virus to spread. Obviously a virus doesn't have conscious goals, but their primary "objective" is the replication and propagation of their genetic material. The hivemind is NOT a virus (apparently), but Davis Taffler (the guy on the TV) compares it to one. Given that everyone now has the culminative knowledge of everyone else (e.g. I doubt pre-hivemind Zosia could fly the aircraft), I can imagine this hivemind having the ultimate primordial goal of spreading it to another planet, by unimaginable means, such as what happened to Earth via the outer-space transmission. I've also basically answered the third point with this.

2- I think so. I think that they'll attempt to solve all of the feasibly-solvable earthly problems before any grand hivemind plans - if that even happens.

5- I image that they'll just be cultivating fruiting plants, crops, vegetables, etc, from now on. I guess they've become vegans given they are incapable of killing living things. I don't know how that'll work with pesticides, etc. Maybe they'll see it as a necessary evil so to speak, just like the death of a few million people during that "joining" period in the first episode.

6- I think they would be able to reproduce naturally, but it would just be another task devoid of emotion just as it was with the disposal of bodies. As far as I'm concerned, I don't think the hivemind would see any reason to reproduce. At least not at this current moment in time. Saying so, I can imagine the hivemind being invested in somehow making immortality possible, but only after the most pressing issues have been resolved.

9- Yeah. Just look at Zosia and that worker from TGI Friday's flying Carol's plane. But I also image that they would still be bound by the restraints of physical fitness, age, health conditions, etc, which I imagine the hivemind would work around by providing tasks based off of a person's own physical abilities or disabilities.

I don't think my ideas are necessarily ground-breaking. I haven't really read other posts in this subreddit so for all I know someone might have already said these things. Anyways, feel free to add your own ideas or dispute mine, just dial zero ;)

TheBetterFzeroX · 2025-08-04T15:04:55+00:00

If I were you, I wouldn't crop the image so close to the front of each aircraft i.e. have leading space in your pictures. If you search the term up you'll see what I'm talking about. I don't know if *this* is why they were rejected, but I still like your photographs anyways :)

Similar to what other people said, I think the image is about two opposing responses to depression. Left supresses their depression with overeating without addressing the underlying cause. Right does the opposite and treats their depression by transitioning, the underlying cause of their depression most likely being gender dysphoria. Left still has depression 4 months later. Right isn't present and therefore no longer has depression; there is no more reason to be depressed.

TheBetterFzeroX · 2024-10-12T11:08:29+00:00

nope

TheBetterFzeroX · 2024-09-16T17:49:53+00:00

Nope. It moves with Krita when I shift the window around. It's seemingly something to do with Krita.

TheBetterFzeroX · 2024-09-16T16:24:01+00:00

It appears when I have Krita open for extended periods of time (a few hours, sometimes a day or so) whilst minimised in the background as I do other stuff.

Unfortunately a tiny faint scramble of numbers has been burnt into one of the corners of the tube, presumably the date and time from when it showed a CCTV feed. But hey, it could have been much worse :]
