That's actually funny.
Speaking of goats...
Day 1 of posting a random meme from my collection
username checks out
These goats always fascinated me. Like what the actual fuck? Why? Then when they eventually do make a mistake and fall they just like hop down the side of the mountain and/or tumble 100m they just hop right back up like nothing ever happened.
The razor's edge of evolutionary advantage in predator/prey relationships makes for some pretty interesting scenarios.
Most of the times they won't hop right back up, I think, but these educational videos about animals target children so it won't be such a good idea to show fucked up goats or other animals.
Imagine you are an animal videographer and have to film dozens of goats falling to their death just to get one which miraculously survived.
From a natural selection perspective I don't think many goats die by falling.
not anymore
Correct, they die from the fatal effects of hitting the ground.
No, they die by being pushed off the cliff by a Golden Eagle.
I mean it's not the falling that gets them. It's the abrupt stop on the rocks below.
They crave that mineral
Is it just me or does the first image look like AI?
Pretty sure it’s just the tilt-shift effect giving that impression, goats can climb basically anything short of a perfect 90 degree angle.
E: actually AI edit of a real photo
Yeah but what is that second goat in the background doing?
Plus, 2nd image, the poses don't match the incline, and 3rd image the heads and tails are weird
First image is literally 7 years old. You can investigate the others to prove they’re AI if you really want, but I’m not chasing down every false alarm.

They crave the salt
I'm scared as fuck of heights but once in a while I torment myself watching videos of Alex Honnold, a freak of a human being who likes to do shit like free soloing El Cap. Watching him do crazy shit is actually kind of soothing, except for one time when he finished a climb on a slope like what these goats are on. It was basically like steps about 1" deep and a foot high; nothing to grab onto, he just had to stay leaned slightly in to the wall to keep from falling off. And I guess hope no wind sprung up. Just terrifying.
Try the french spiderman.
It's funny, I've watched Honnold rip on that guy. He (Honnold) considered climbing buildings to be way easier than cliff climbing because it's basically the same move over and over again. But now Honnold is doing the same shit.
I've done some climbing before (with ropes) and it's kinda fun being in a slab like that where you can lean in and not always need to have a hand on the wall. But fuck that guy and no ropes. Even watching recorded videos of him doing things makes me incredibly nervous and uncomfortable. I don't think we should be encouraging what he does the way we do.
It's ok, he'll only fail once.
[I was probably wrong, disregard]
I've seen these images well before LLMs were around.
What makes you say AI? I've seen 2 of these before and I don't see anything indicating AI on the one I haven't.
~~But... this is older than AI?~~
[Also wrong, disregard too]
I was probably wrong
You were not, I was.
Nah someone else linked the original image: https://www.reddit.com/r/Goatparkour/comments/bto7j1/from_this_angle_mountain_goats_are_even_more/
It's like some weird AI regeneration of it or something?
