This is AI generated (source). I spent a while looking at the image trying to find the usual tells. It's kinda scary how hard it's getting to tell AI generated images apart from real ones. I'm sure with a powerful enough model, enough iterations, and the right prompt, it's almost impossible to tell in some cases.

What really throws me are their poses. They’re all in poses that you typically see them in from public sources. Elon smoking a cigar was probably part of the prompt, unless I’m unaware of something. Tim Apple even doing the classic stage pose.

It was actually Elon and the cigar that tipped me off. Can you imagine him possibly looking so natural and "cool" and masculine? He would be holding it so weird that everyone in the circle would be staring at him and he would be doing this really weird laugh while his shoulders turned into cursed parallelogram of flesh and too much bone.

Also, if it were real I would expect to see Peter Thiel's face pressed against the glass of the Cybertruck, looking out with bug eyes as he smears oil all over the window.

You're right, here's a picture of him actually Smoking

Cyber dumpster not rusty and on fire is a dead giveaway

To me the tell was that I couldn't see why the most powerful men in the world would just be all standing in a parking lot with no body guards around.
If they really wanted to meet they'd be in a dinner party or some shit.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Two things i noticed is Jeff's right ear/hand amalgamation and the feet look funny to the right of sam altman (easier to notice without the meme text). The side blinker on the white car looks a little too embedded in the wheel well but I'm not familiar enough with luxury cars to say for sure if its odd.

It still takes a lot of examination to start thinking its AI where previously 7 fingers would be a dead give away.

I figured it was. Pretty convincing right down to those annoying black sneakers with white soles that tech billionaires seem to love nowadays.

One well placed hand grenade

My exact thought, it would do so much good for humanity as a whole.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 46 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Only if we changed the tax laws right after. Otherwise the broken system will just create replacements

[–] MrVilliam@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 weeks ago

And we have more grenades. Eventually it can serve as a deterrent.

TIL there's only 3 outfits billionaires can wear in public.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

they're even wearing the same fucking shoes!!!

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

This is a real thing, brands jockey for top position on one of their bodies because it can influence the rest of the group and trickle down into their tech leadership. Articles have been written about it but it's usually ugly shoes and very discreet, unlabeled sweaters that cost $5k. It's really sad because they're so fucking vapid, there's not much else to do, and they don't have a lot of real friends.

Aw man! Where's a drone strike when you need it?

It's funny because drones were probably being used to murder children the moment this picture was taken so that these shit stains could have more money they eventually just set on fire and use to light their cigars.

Going clockwise:

Nvidia - Jensen Huang
Google - Sundar Pichai
Apple - Tim Cook
OpenAI - Sam Altman
Amazon - Jeff Bezos
Meta - Mark Zuckerberg
Tesla - Elon Musk

Microsoft's Satya Nadella is missing here for the full tech-nazi set.

There's a surprising number of comments in this thread that seem to be taking the image seriously, so here's a source that backs up your answer:

~$1,162,000,000,000.

If I'm not mistaken, these guys are totaling ~$3685/second in interest based on a 10 year market average.

Sinkholes need to become more specific with their target locations.

Is Lisa Su excluded because they don't respect AMD or because they don't respect women? Hopefully because she isn't actually evil and doesn't wanna be there.
