I used the LROC Quickmap tool to recreate the "Earthset" photo and label some of the visible features. (Sadly the 3D model doesn't shade the Earth, only the moon.) Here is a link, but the URL doesn't preserve the time. To get that view you...

They've been problematic as evidence since Photoshop. The problem is that AI inserted in people's knowledge acquisition may be worse than social media, and the combination is deadly.

Yes, AI seems to have completely done away with most people’s sense of what is and isn’t real. Even ones who are trying to be sceptical are trusting AI to tell them what is and isn’t AI. And AI images are now at least superficially quite...

It really doesn't help when people on X are saying "@grok is this real" and grok saying "no" for real images like the Earth eclipse photo from Orion, and "yes" for screenshots from The First Man movie allegedly showing how the Apollo missions...

I think familiarity with trickery/fakery is extremely helpful. My dad's been a graphic artist for 40+ years, yet he's been fooled by AI! As his terminally online son who sees this stuff all the time, it's of course a lot easier for me to sus it...

They'd have to source the imagery to NASA to have a valid claim. If they don't, that just proves they're bad at critical thinking.

One of the most annoying things about Artemis has been the huge number of AI images that you have to sift through to find the real ones. Apollo never had this problem :rolleyes:

On a tangent for a moment, has anybody seen images or read reports on the condition of the heat shield after Integrity made it back? I know there were concerns, and some changes to the reentry plan, based on some rather scary looking cavities in...

I did a bit of independent verification on this footage captured from the ISS of the Artemis re-entry (and caught a mistake by the experts :) ) Source: https://x.com/sen/status/2043643653776670729?s=20 The claimed time of the video was 23:54...

On one hand: Yes, that is truly disappointing. On the other hand, it is the fucking New York Post! (Of "Kiss Your Asteroid Goodbye," "Wacko Jacko Backo," & "Headless Body in Topless Bar" fame)

Look like the NY Post is platforming nonsense about "green screens". Unfortunate. Source: https://youtu.be/dZkKvQux704

The Nikon raw file is probably better analysed in a forensic image suite
