Hmm. Oxford defines fictional as “not real or true; existing only in stories; connected with fiction”. But on the other hand Merriam-Webster defines fictional as “of, relating to, characterized by, or occurring in fiction : invented by the imagination” which could be a lot broader – presumably all songs were invented by the imagination at some point, except for AI music.

Lithium. Which may make mining lithium a bit cleaner than it is now.

The California man who hid for 6 months in a secret room inside Circuit City
Investigators thought he might be making his way back to Sacramento, where his ex-wife and kids were living. But Manchester didn’t even try to leave the state. He had found his hideout: a Toys R Us.
The store at 6100 East Independence Ave. in Charlotte had everything he needed. There was baby food to eat, bikes to ride at night for exercise and remote-controlled cars to race around the roof when he was bored. He opened up packages of baby monitors and used them to watch the employees come and go. There was also a bit of serendipity: The Circuit City next door was permanently closed.
Manchester tunneled in, using a board spring-loaded with a bungee cord to make a door. Inside the vacant Circuit City, Manchester used Toys R Us merchandise to decorate a stairwell space fit for a 10-year-old. He made a bed with Spider-Man sheets, put up a Superman poster on the wall and arranged toy models of Yoda. His stack of DVDs included “Matchstick Men,” “40 Days and 40 Nights” and “Spider-Man 2.” To avoid an accident that would lead to
his detection, Manchester installed a smoke detector and a fire extinguisher. He’d traded a 4-foot-by-8-foot cell for a 4-foot-by-10-foot preteen haven.
In February, it was announced that Channing Tatum will play Manchester in a movie entitled “Roofman.”

It’s AI.
The “vet”'s right hand is overlaid on the cardboard, not wrapped around it, his sweatshirt and his camo jacket are trying to occupy the same space, his name tag is gibberish, and the window behind the two of them is very clear and reflective. Have another look at the reflection in the window: do you see anything missing?

Wheelchair guy’s hands and toes are surprisingly legit. Already, we have to look much more closely sometimes to find the fakeness.

that looks to be true. i also, on closer look, see no evidence of any type of reflection in that window of any photographer. the hand of the sign holder you observed does look odd, as if merely “overlayed”, as you suggest.
i find it interesting that there are images, clearly behind the glass of that background window, of figures of jeebus and one very creepy face lurking in the dark background, upper right.
this may have been some actual picture for some religious propaganda about jeebus making the young amputee “walk again”, all while cooling his sandaled feet in said gentleman’s now un-needed wheelie?
the obvious misspelling on the placard, the very precise type “handwriting”, is what i first note as AI, or simply photoshoppers changing the message.
my interpretation of this image (as a BKA, myself)? Mr. Amputee is STANDING next to this jeebus impersonator occupying his chair, is this:
“this asshole didn’t make me walk again, my doctors did.”
no AI was involved in making this comment
ETA: i don’t know what that “collar” around the prosthesis even is. i have never seen that. perhaps some sort of tracking device? is he renting his prosthetic? that does look out-of-place.

We should’ve been using code words to describe the flaws. By describing the problems, we’re just training those systems where to find and fix the mistakes.

Just learned that they had retired to sleepy ultra quaint North Hampton - Amherst, Ma. Weird, so the antithesis of their music. Waaaaay too quiet.

… if nothing else, the reflections should be in front of the statuettes, not obscured behind them
