Musk was in the USSR that year

In the past two days, a batch of photos of the last century have been unbanned, and the unknown truth of that year has emerged.

Before he came to the United States, Musk was rumored to be a Soviet engineer.

He bribed local celebrities and claimed to be the founder of the Yaroslavl car factory.

At that time, in China, a series of strange things were happening.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman visited China on a UFO and left such a precious image in the Chinese countryside:

At this time, in some areas, people were still struggling with the problem of food and clothing.

One day, an expedition team found a huge wild pig deep in the mountains. They caught the wild boars, found their meat delicious, and brought them back to the village to breed.

After a period of hard work, they managed to breed a super huge pig breed, and one pig can feed the whole village for ten years.

Here are the rare images left at that time:

However, the scene that happened in Liujiatun, Henan Province is truly magical:

In March 1990, Master Yoda came to the village to help the villagers study how wheat can increase yields.

The villagers had a lively conversation with them about seed selection, cultivation of land and fertilization.

Afterwards, the villagers also left a precious group photo with this "rare guest":

Meanwhile:

Six months after the Jedi Temple incident, Darth Vader also came to Liujiatun for a private visit, accompanied by the village branch secretary and the villagers' representatives.

That scene, that's called a happy one:

……

Poofhahahaha! Audience masters, see this, is it already ridiculous.

Who made these "pictures and truths", but it looks like fake news?

Well, of course, it's all from our famous AI reporter, Midjourney.

Today's April Fool's Day, Qubit is here for a special program:

Take stock of the shocking fake news created by Midjourney.

China won the World Cup, and Iron Man fried fritters in the countryside

First of all, a blockbuster news was announced, the Chinese men's football team finally won the World Cup and lifted the Hercules Cup.

In the next two World Cups, the Chinese men's football team still dominated the arena:

Memories from future Weibo bloggers @rice, recorded this historic moment.

Next comes the moment of archaeological discovery.

Just in the eighties, a series of photos recorded the whole process of Iron Man frying fritters in rural China.

In the picture, Iron Man holds fried fritters and fried sesame balls, peddling along the street:

Due to poor sales, Iron Man lost his job and could only sit on the side of the road and eat soil:

At the same time, another version of "Iron Man" Musk was warmly received by domestic factory owners.

Musk, who first came to China, seemed a little restrained, and tried to learn the use of chopsticks under the guidance of domestic friends.

A little earlier, we also found precious images from the Qing Dynasty.

Coca-Cola was introduced to China as early as the Qing Dynasty. At that time, wealthy people would enjoy it in tea houses.

Because it contains ingredients that have been banned, many rich children are addicted to it, and they do not hesitate to spend thousands of dollars on it until they go bankrupt.

Weibo blogger @BurgburgKing Huang Allen recorded this image and has preserved it to this day.

In a fishing village in Fujian not long after, there was another news from Kefan404 that caught the eye:

Some fishermen caught a strange seafood combination of shrimp and crab, the size of half a table, when they went out to sea.

Everyone gathered around and worked together to lift it to the steamer, and after it was finally steamed, it began to be cut. Someone smells the fragrance and is already gluttonous ...

Not only that, some time ago, a blogger named @Chen Rui_RayChan, even archaeology found blue and white porcelain Hello Kitty and Shang Dynasty Doraemon unearthed in the late Tang Dynasty:

Finally, this archaeological news is more popular, and it is said that Jesus was already using electronic devices 2,000 years ago.

Jesus first showed the crowd what the electronic device looked like, and asked Leonardo da Vinci to help him and his disciples take a live image of The Last Supper:

Finally, the effect of this photo was shown in the amazed eyes of everyone:

Weibo blogger @erqi Vasily found these photos in an iPad unearthed by archaeology and restored them.

"Adding problems to future archaeological teams"

So, how did the above "news images" generated with Midjourney come about?

In fact, the author is responsible for the question, putting the elements that cannot be hit by eight poles together to Midjourney, and letting it rely on strength for realistic output.

This not only relies on huge brain holes, but also masters the rational use of AI, and even writing prompts is a craft. Like this is a meme that has been very popular on the Internet recently:

△ Use Midjourney v10 to generate 4K Mona Lisa photos

Then the netizens (or ChatGPT) who can be called the joker reprocess, look at the picture with a decent "news cavity" commentary——

A fun, brain-opening "fake news" award event was formed (some people call it "parallel universes created by AI").

You call it fake, but the picture looks like the real thing; Let's say it's true, apparently Iron Man will not appear in the Chinese countryside, let alone fried fritters, Chinese football is also ...

To be sure:

Midjourney's play retro-futurism is really inside.

Some people even quipped:

This is adding problems to the future archaeological team.

Maybe "mixed in a real one no one knows", right?

It is a great affirmation of the realism of Midjourney's work.

Seeing this, are you already eager to try?

Bart, the bad news is:

Midjourney's original free quota of 25 times per person has been canceled two days ago, and now it can only pay "show off" ==

In fact, the AI painting trend brought by Midjourney is more ferocious than expected.

At present, Midjourney's main position is in the Discord community, and countless users come to generate images and participate in discussions every day:

In the Discord community, Midjourney already has nearly 14 million members, with millions of people playing online every time.

On the domestic Xiaohongshu platform, the #Midjourney# theme has attracted 110 million views.

The founder revealed to The Register last August that Midjourney had made a profit.

Compare Google's Imagen and OpenAI's DALL· E, Midjourney is the first foreign platform to quickly generate AI mapping (less than one minute) and is open to the public for application.

It was developed by Midtrivey, an independent research lab based in San Francisco, USA, using the underlying technology of Stable Diffusion, which began public beta in July after its release in March last year.

Currently, Midjourney has been iterated to version 5.

This version not only draws more realistically and responds more sensitively to prompts, but also solves the most difficult part of AI painting to break through.

I wonder what the next version of Midjourney will look like? What new tricks will netizens develop?

One More Thing

In the past few days, a photo has also spread very hot on the Internet -

Back in the 80s, there were records of using ChatGPT?!

However, this seemingly fake photo is actually real, but it is not a product of that era. (Manual dog head)

Recently, a software developer successfully ran a ChatGPT client on the IBM 5155 in 1984.

This computer is running MS-DOS 6.22 system, the CPU is Intel 8088 (4.77Mhz), the memory is only 640KB, and the network card is NE2000.

Now, I can't even believe the real news...
