^^^ And so you will never ever be able to believe in any kind of image for the rest of time unless you took the picture. It is pointless to view images now.

Supposedly there is an AI Spanish model making 10k euros a month promoting products and lifestyle. She gets messages every day asking her out. Here, take my laptop, but give it back clean.

There's AI image detection. I don't know how accurate it is, or for how long it will be. Counterfeit images have been around for a long time, via Photoshop type software- AI just makes it more effortless and it will certainly get better.

Scary times.

Honest question. What if they're via robotics?

The picture of that weldment has been around for many years...it is an amazing display of a stack of nickels...

I have personally seen a guy weld a soda can that was cut in half, back together...

I wouldn't even know how to do it, but why not ask a AI engine to display a perfectly welded stainless steel tee joint

Maybe a robot weld. Very common on mass produced items. Unlikely an AI image.

One of my friends is a professional welder and has owned his own business welding for 30 years. He had a client bring some large parts to weld. When he delivered them the employees all came over and admired his work. The boss's wife saw the guys huddled around something and was convinced they were looking at porn. She started yelling for them to get to work, and she was ready to fire the pervert with porn only to see the pretty welds the company ordered.

Some guys can weld better than robots. The weave on that weld is phenomenal if it was done by hand.

Edit: as a welder I examined that image and can see each movement and there are the subtle differences. Someone welded that by hand.

And if it's been around for awhile, then there's that.

No robot or AI welding there, just old school booger welding.


Pretty much sure this is AI. But a cool representation of a 906 on a snowy road where that car should never go.




Palm Springs




1930 Bentley 6.5 Litre Speed Six Gurney Nutting Saloon known as the ''Blue Train Special''
The ‘Blue Train’ Bentley Speed Six Few cars embody the glamour, speed and power of the pre-war Bentley era better than the ‘Blue Train’ Bentley Speed Six. In this car Bentley Boy Woolf Barnato raced and beat the famous Train Blue northwards from the Côte d’Azur to Calais. His achievement was so exceptional that a 2015 re-run by Car Magazine in a Continental GT3-R only just managed to beat Barnato’s average speed set in 1930.

Break time form the set of the movie Predators.






The Castle of Coca is a castle located in the Coca municipality, central Spain. It was constructed in the 15th century and has been considered to be one of the best examples of Spanish Mudejar brickwork which incorporates Moorish Muslim design and construction with Gothic architecture.


People gathered in front of stores in a small town. Eureka Springs, Arkansas, 1880.

TIG with side wire feed is extremely uncommon, I've only ever seen it once, and it sure wasn't that good.

That's how we did it back then...We mowed lawns, shoveled sidewalks and did odd jobs until we were old enough to get a job
at a burger joint, grocery store, etc. and we saved our money so we could get our first car, truck or motorcycle.
