    Google Bard says the Earth is flat (LLM bunk)

    ChatGPT "declassifies" UFO documents Source: https://twitter.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1710397599474458818 Obviously these are hallucinations. This is obvious because there'd be no reason to redact the text that ChatGPT invented as it doesn't contain sensitive information.

    Claim: ''UAP researcher'' released clear smoking gun photo of Orb captured by photographer

    From https://www.metabunk.org/threads/uap-researcher-to-release-clear-smoking-gun-photo-of-orb-captured-by-photographer.13197/post-302408 Promised, not kept. (Maybe later?) My personal hypothesis is that these pictures show a more recognizable, non-orb-like butterfly. Promised, not kept. (may...

    If you do a level adjudtment as demonstrated by @Miss VocalCord , in RGB space, colors like #ff0000 or #00ffff are unaffected. If they were brightened, #ff0000 would become e.g. #ff7777, which would desaturate it, but there's no indication on the manipulated picture that this happened: the...

    Yes. But that's not what happens here. Colors on the circular edge stay on that edge. What's being done is similar to increasing the gamma, not an overall brightening. Colors that are already not very saturated get brighter.

    One thing you can say about the government, if they disclose something, they disclose it for everybody. Not like this.

    Direct Data From Source Meta Data Research: focus_distance_range 0.28 – 0.72 m Ok, does UAPmax think "m" stands for "miles"? Because based on this, Fernando Cornejo-Würfl placed his iPhone near the ground, expecting to photograph an object about 1 to 2.5 feet away, because "m" stands for...

    @Miss VocalCord demonstrates this in https://www.metabunk.org/threads/claim-uap-researcher-released-clear-smoking-gun-photo-of-orb-captured-by-photographer.13182/post-303593 Basically, color is numbers in a digital picture, and if you map 5% brightness to 50% brightness (and adjust all other...

    It reveals his way of thinking. "I could CNC this vase" => this ancient vase was CNC'ed "I could 3D model the scene so that some pixels on the orb are reflections" => the orb is big and far and reflects It's the same fallacy of generalisation both times, or perhaps it could be considered a...

    Claim: ''UAP researcher'' released clear smoking gun photo of Orb captured by photographer

    I wonder if we're looking at a compression artifact here. "Black" looks pretty much the same as "black with a shade of green" to the human eye, and the algorithm might've decided to not encode a different shade to save space. And there are some "pitch black" pixels, should we be seeing these if...

    I was wondering why "chrome" was mentioned as it has nothing to do with chrominance. A mirror-like chrome surface reflecting the landscape below wouldn't show up as black, but as green, same as the trees being mirrored.

    I'm unclear on what the evidence value is. Butterfly wings reflect light, too.

    Could be one of the other men working on the project, Juan Feria or Mark Qvist. (No "full chain of custody" in the article.) UAPmax's "editor chief" doesn't give his name. It might be Stephen. My personal experience is that sock puppet call-outs not based on data or clear evidence tend to be...

    As we begin the forensic dive into a photo given to UAPMAX.com from Fernando we will start with some obvious explanations that have been fully ruled out. Drones. We don’t want to clutter this exploration with excessive non-explanations. but want to show that certain things were ruled out. Here...

    Old UFO physical photograph, has anyone seen this one before?

    Other members have mentioned the book as well. The OP photo looks like it could've been made following this recipe. The UFO set at an angle and photographed against the sky are common features. And the time frame matches.

    Today we got what must be the most alarming first line in a newly filed sec[urity] issue to #curl: "To replicate the issue, I have searched in the Bard about this vulnerability" ... followed by a complete AI hallucination where Bard has dreamed up a new issue by combining snippets from several...
