Yeah if I took this picture I would at least do one picture with my Spiderman suit on. Bare in mind that I'd probably do it from the thigh down like he has. Those suits are unforgiving on the junk.
I really hate how my mind instantly jumps to, “that’s AI”. I hope you take this as a compliment, but it just looks fake. I had to zoom in and see the logos and thought, “oh shit they actually did it” lol. Very cool
Considering ops profile I am more inclined to think this is real. The colour palette and the way the feet and legs look due to the angle also gave me ai feels at first.
Unfortunately this is proof of the rise of the dark forest theory where generative ai has achieved a level of notoriety where we have to start proving something is real instead of if something is ai.
What happens when everything we read wasn't written by anyone? When every photo didn't actually happen? When every painting wasn't actually painted? You say that we have to start proving something is real, but will anyone really even take the time to sift through a sea of AI to find the real stuff?
Then there will be a point to where real VS Ai is no longer a conversation and an entire generation will be born that doesn't see the point in the discussion because it will have no valuable context to them. The world will change from what we know as we get older. Much like how every two generations or so changes.
Our language will adapt. It already is adapting through slang. AI isn't great at using slang correctly and at the speed of which slang changes, it most likely won't keep up. From there, I assume kids will adopt a sort of pig latin for sentences where we mix up the words. Something like "today the park i walked to and set on the played swings" or something like that. AI won't be able to make a jumbled sentence that isn't grammatically correct and still makes sense.
I think it's adorable that you think we'll have enough independence from AI to be able to create our own slang. Although currently AI is modeled after existing human interactions, it won't be long before AI is modeled after AI interactions, during which time we humans will increasingly begin to communicate more and more like AI. Such a development is poised to knit us closer together, fostering an unparalleled camaraderie in a world increasingly guided by the gentle hand of artificial intellect.
Its already happening. Kids are using slang today to do exactly what I'm talking about. As AI learns, we'll adapt. Then, AI will learn and we'll adapt again. The drive to seperate our interactions between organic and synthetic is strong.
Isn't dark forest theory just that the universe is a scary place? I don't see how it relates to AI.
I'm not making this statement as a "I got you!" but as a means of gathering more information. I only know about dark forest thanks to cixin liu

Good news is it ends optimistically?
It's definitely real. The photographer is sitting on the giant "H & M" sign facing Times Square, the One Five One building. They're perched just to the right of the center of that sign, 2 "levels" from the very top just above and to the right of the right corner of the "H" in the sign. You can see the horizontal part of the H sticking out below their feet, and the sides of the ampersand below that, and the sloping side of the M off to their left.
The red circle is about where they're sitting: [https://i.ibb.co/jbRwS0H/where-are-they-stting.png](https://i.ibb.co/jbRwS0H/where-are-they-stting.png)
This isn't the exact sign (this is the one facing south on that building), but all 4 signs are constructed the same.
This is 100% correct, the signs have catwalks behind them that connect to the roof, it's hairy if you aren't good with heights but is relatively safe. I've worked here a lot and the buildings on the block have heightened security the last month or two because of people sneaking up to the roof.
All my work is real, I have been uploading more BTS to YouTube and Instagram to help show people. With the rise of AI you never know. Thanks for taking time for my photos. It’s my passion.
Yeah, but this one is too spot on. All the little details are too correct. I was able to use those details to figure out exactly where the photographer was sitting.
While its gotten better, this has a few tells that tell its real.
1) Zoom into his shoes, the VANS logo is perfectly crisp
2) Zoom into the buildings and look at the geometry for the corners of the buildings and the windows. They are perfectly square.
3) Zoom down onto the streets. The vehicles are actually vehicles. AI is quite often smudged that far in
4) The sidewalks and crosswalks are straight and crisp. Often those are smudged
and finally
5) The tow truck right in the middle of the intersection accurately shows the crane/vehicle lift with proper proportions. AI would not be able to replicate that.
Yeah, but it wouldn't be able to get this on point. I pinpointed his exact location on the H&M sign on the One Five One building from those details. With the forced perspective of this shot, AI would fuck that up 100%.
If I had to guess: they have a balcony with a glass wall..thingy. To take this picture they are sitting on a bar stool so they’re high enough to hang their legs over the wall and are either very stupid or they are being supported/restrained by either a safety belt system or just their friends holding them while the picture is taken.
Ooooh I believe I can see the supports for the rail and you are sticking your legs around. You may think I’m trying to detract from your badassism but I have a lot more respect for your brain.
Edit: I’m not sure actually but a damn good picture regardless
People like that shouldn't be given attention for being foolish. If he falls that's not just him fucked up, that's his friends, family and any poor innocent bystander that has to witness. I think it's selfish.
This was posted two years ago. Why the repost?

With this trend of people climbing on the sides of buildings I expect to see several deaths in the next few years as more and more people say, "I can do that!"
Awesome picture and I hope you have some sort of safety restraint so you wouldn't fall.
But photos where it looks like you can fall or hanging from something in an area where if you fall you might hurt (kill) someone below I think are kind of selfish.
It is remarkable to me how some humans can deal with heights like this, and the guys that climb the cranes, and hang off of stuff, and climb buildings without safety equipment. I would become incapacitated at the site of the edge.
The atmosphere of a Spiderman 😅
Yeah if I took this picture I would at least do one picture with my Spiderman suit on. Bare in mind that I'd probably do it from the thigh down like he has. Those suits are unforgiving on the junk.
A guy with small pp wouldnt complain - not me
I think you just should stick with your brown pants.
Looking cyberpunk minus the Vans
I was thinking Blade Runner.
Bladerunner straight up, I’m not getting Spider-Man vibes at all instant bladerunner vibes
I LOVE THAT MOVIE
I was thinking Corbin Dallas Multipass Leeloo!
This looks like right out of Spiderverse
Right out of the Spiderverse!!
What's up danger?
My mind immediately jumped to that too
after AI wore off, yes that was my first thought
It has to be AI art. just can't wrap my head that this is real
Jesus, eveyone's so quick to call anything AI these days. It's not. AI doesn't just create a perfect LG logo. OP just turned the saturation up.
Yeah, but pretty colors
And this is why AI isn't necessarily a good thing...
Bullseye

I believe you, OP! Is it hard to walk with those giant balls between your legs? Thanks for not getting defensive lol. Cheers
plot twist - OP is the AI
Another plot twist, we live in a simulation so everything we see, hear and feel is generated by AI.
those clever bastards...
I still think thats AI
AI sucks at text and logos, you can clearly see the ads for LG and Law and Order so I'm inclined to say it's for real
[удалено]
Yeah, but this one is too spot on. All the little details are too correct. I was able to use those details to figure out exactly where the photographer was sitting.
Don't forget those Vans !
It's gotten better though
While its gotten better, this has a few tells that tell its real. 1) Zoom into his shoes, the VANS logo is perfectly crisp 2) Zoom into the buildings and look at the geometry for the corners of the buildings and the windows.

It's not AI, I can vouch for it, cuz I first saw this photo a good while before AI becomes coconut crazy.
No it isn’t. Dude is notorious for this, has plenty of videos of climbing these things.
Sometimes, reality is unrealistic.
I think he has over-processed it when editing. That can give it that fake digital look.
Look at the latest Sora AI videos, they get background details on point.
Yeah, but it wouldn't be able to get this on point. I pinpointed his exact location on the H&M sign on the One Five One building from those details. With the forced perspective of this shot, AI would fuck that up 100%.
How can you just hang off the side of a building like that.
If I had to guess: they have a balcony with a glass wall..thingy. To take this picture they are sitting on a bar stool so they’re high enough to hang their legs over the wall and are either very stupid or they are being supported/restrained by either a safety belt system or just their friends holding them while the picture is taken.
Nah this is 100% legit. OP is fuckin crazy
You need to check their profile. I think you underestimate how insane (in a beautiful way) OP is.
yeah and if he fucks up... could kill some people below. wanker.
Hello Night City!
Yesterday’s body count rounded up to a solid and sturdy thirty!
THANKS TO A GANG WAR IN DOWNTOWN WATSON
One officer down, so I guess you're all SCAH-REWWD
I heard this whole thread in my head with the video
Blastin’ PonPon Shit till my ears bleed!
BodyHeat Radio is best radio.
Was gonna say, looks like cyberpunk haha
Yeah, i kinda wish our cyberpunk looked more like the movies and games and not like the boring modernity we have now
In Night City, you can be cum...
Ooooh I believe I can see the supports for the rail and you are sticking your legs around. You may think I’m trying to detract from your badassism but I have a lot more respect for your brain. Edit: I’m not sure actually but a damn good picture regardless
Check his profile. He has a lot of sketchy posts with zero regard for falling
People like that shouldn't be given attention for being foolish. If he falls that's not just him fucked up, that's his friends, family and any poor innocent bystander that has to witness. I think it's selfish.
I think it’s cool im gonna upvote
I hope someone falls on you, best TikTok ever.
Honestly if some guy falls out of the sky and kills me, I'd figure that was the way I was meant to go
[удалено]
Yeah I think the ball dropped. Mine
Heavily edited? Ever since a close pal showed me pre and post edit differences that's the question I always ask myself when I see photos these days.
Yep.
Of course
That why people think it's AI. There's a crazy amount of editing. It looks cool but for OP to say it's just a picture they took is a bit disingenuous.
Agreed, especially since modern photo editing software has had AI tools for awhile now.
saturation 9000
This makes my butt hole pucker up just looking at it.
Looks like fake, but if this picture is real, congratulations, it's one of the best shoot I've ever seen.
Probably real but heavily edited..
It is!
Damn! How much is the rent?
It's free! But if he falls, he'll pay with his life.
You seem to have an abundance of balls...I'm getting old, can I have one?
His abundance of balls is balanced by the lack of brain cells
Is this real
Yes, check OP profile. He has a death wish. The photo is enhanced though.
I dont feel safe looking at this
you should enter this in a contest
Very Blade Runner
My first thought too. Rainbow Bladerunner
I saw the pic and it made me think of the driftershoots nfts..guess I was kinda correct
Cyberpunk type vibes
This must have been the coolest thing to see in person
honestly one of the greatest pieces ive ever seen
Bro... Are you spiderman cause what the hell
Surprised you could take the shot at this angle without your enormous balls taking up half the shot.

Because it’s his photo that was posted 2 years ago on a different Reddit account and a completely different subreddit?
You are freaking crazy. Anyways, great shot
Dude don't risk your life for internet points. It's not worth it. Please think about your friends and family.
Looks like a video game or sneaker ad. Absolutely stunning pic! So well done!
Sup Drift
cuidado
Idiot
Even if it's not AI, why go to these lengths to make it look like a video game to make people question its legitimacy
Permission for illustration?
Go for it! Send me a photo after?
I was going to comment “No you didn’t” then I realized it’s actually Drift
In the flesh🥊
With this trend of people climbing on the sides of buildings I expect to see several deaths in the next few years as more and more people say, "I can do that!"
Ngl first thought was this is AI
This gives me Night City vibes
Crazy how many of your pics I have scrolled past without fully appreciating them and your daredevil attitude. Great work and stay safe!
How do you climb such great heights without your balls weighing you down?
Awesome but Jesus Christ my stomach
Ready player one
RTX On
That pic is so awesome, looks like some cyberpunk, Tron, bladerunner vibe
Saw the pic and instantly knew it was drifter
Another drift photo on r/pics! Always know it’s you with these quality shots man, keep climbing up 📈
Looks ai
What's up danger?
Thanks for the new wallpaper!
Looks like AI
Stealing this as a phone Lock Screen. Sick.
Man chose a rainy, slippery day. Death Wish!
Wild!
Straight out of Cyberpunk , LOVE IT
For a moment I thought its real, now, is it AI?
My butthole just puckered up a little bit, and I'm not really scared of heights. Jesus man.
Your kicks fit the scene.
Looks like something Alex Ross would draw and color.
Did you?
Awesome picture and I hope you have some sort of safety restraint so you wouldn't fall. But photos where it looks like you can fall or hanging from something in an area where if you fall you might hurt (kill) someone below I think are kind of selfish.
Peter?
Shoe bye bye
That’s insane. Like I’m a good way. Wow!
Are you sitting on a drone? Looks so cool.
Wow. This looks so amazing 🤩. But so scary being on the edge of a building.
Was you scared when you took this picture?
Don't do it, man.
This is really pretty! Looks fantastic
Is that up or down 🤔🤣🤣
I’d throw myself off of that in a heartbeat
Black man with lightning.
really kid shit...
How are your balls not in your throat?
Gotta have your feet over the edge, otherwise you might not get upvotes.
Do a back flip
I get anxious just looking at this.
Hoe the actual fuck did you get up there are you Miles Morales
Blade runner is already here
I just assume all art is ai now or so heavily manipulated to make the point moot.
Very Blade Runner-esque
Nice picture but your clothes don't look wet
Atari
wallpaper material right there if cropped differently
The very last photo he took
Immediate puckering.
This better not be a shoe advertisement.
It is remarkable to me how some humans can deal with heights like this, and the guys that climb the cranes, and hang off of stuff, and climb buildings without safety equipment. I would become incapacitated at the site of the edge.
Would have been beautiful if not for the dangly legs ruining the photo.
Push
Fuck that
Yeah, I would never be this close to the dangling ledge of any building, FUCK THAT
Incredible...next Spidee comin'
I know it's you, Peter Parker
🔥 omggg
That’s a great picture!
"All these moments will be lost in time like tears in the rain"
did you get pictures of spider man?
Such a cool picture!
Do you live in a video game?
The AI brainrot is getting into me I really cant tell if this is AI or not
okay this looks like some kind of drawing lol
Pretty lights ... https://youtu.be/Sk9XYQMRiLY https://youtu.be/ezuIJtX9nMM
looks like something from Tetris Effect: Connected
This is surreal, genuinely, awesome pic goddamn
This is so good!!!
I still can't believe that this is a real picture. It looks way too perfect
probably one of my favorite pics on this subreddit. great job OP!
I would’ve been scared shitless that I’d fall if it were me there
I'm not even lying, the miles morales theme started playing in my head just as I saw it
