  • Great, the sun has moon craters now. GenAI at its best.

  • I got some amazing photos through a set of eclipse viewing glasses on my Vivo x300 pro. If I'd been a bit more organized and set up a stand and taped the glasses onto the phone I think I could have taken a video of the whole thing in incredible quality. But I just held the glasses in front of the lens and it worked.

    What I found though was that I had to use the pro mode (which I use for basically everything anyway, to avoid exactly the kind of issues this article is talking about).

    I did try on normal photo mode and I think what was happening was that as soon as I covered one lens with the glasses it switched to another.

  • It remains incredibly funny that they never turned off this "fake moon" feature after being caught the first time

  • I wonder if it gets the moon the right way up in the southern hemisphere

  • I still struggle with the idea that the chinese olympics had both CGI fireworks and real firework footage mixed together.

    I cant fathom how this was a "if they know it doesnt matter at all" situation.

    A complete acceptance of real / fake, who cares its about stuff looking great.

    I mean I can be told it but I cant understand why you would waste millions on real works just to have fake ones, why not just go all fake? If its a half way house then does no one care what is real?

    IE on linkedin somany AI videos with thousands of comments and likes and I become lost on ... do most poeple just not care if its real or not? I dont think they do at all. Am I mad to care?

    Its very easy to say well everyone uses filters and they are not real. And its true! But somewhere and I have no idea where, there seems tobe a line for me where I say no, thats not cricket, you cant just replace part of an image with a template of something else. I have no idea tho any thoughts appreciated.

  • Interestingly, one of their AI filters is actually called "Super Moon":

    4.14.3 Camera Image Optimization

    The camera image optimization AI algorithm is mainly used in the following camera features: Super Moon, AI Camera, Document Mode, Front Portrait Mode with Background Blurring, and Beautify.

  • In the future, it might be extremely hard to find a camera which records exactly what is in front of it :D
