ehm... shouldn't the motion blur be on the bike and not on the surroundings with a static camera?

Yes but luckily you can add words to any picture and post it somewhere online and assert that’s the origin.

Some cameras are mounted on pivots and have subject tracking

It's one of those rare descendants of Vikings. The Biking.

Not to be confused with the prominent lgbtq personality "the bi king"

Weird Fact: The Geico Caveman commercial 'characters' ended up in their own TV series called Cavemen. It only lasted one season.

I heard Zeus retired and wondered what he was doing now. Cycling apparently.

Pedalling with crocs sucks. I do it sometimes when I go to my cabin and need to get back to the entrance 300 metres away. It's soft, pliable and uncomfortable.

That's the second coming

I don't know, but they have more money to burn than I do.

[–] egrets@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

I really want to know the original context of the photo. I suspect the face and hair are prosthetic and it's a younger rider doing something like a Jackass skit; like you say, the bike is easily upwards of $10k.

[–] funkyfarmington@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

He is...

video of the ad campaign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jL4AI2kp3o

does not contain the exact picture, but definitely part of that campaign.

I swear this image has been around for ages, way before AI could generate anything this well

[–] nialv7@lemmy.world 26 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The scary/annoying part is, from now on there'll always be a little voice in our head ask: is it AI?

I'm gonna need some evidence for that.

It doesn't look like AI. The bike and everything makes sense. I can even read S-WORKS on the frame.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

lol what an edit without telling people that you originally said it was AI slop without making that note in your comment

It's not AI, it's from the specialized EVO ad campaign like 5 years ago.

This is easily my favorite photo of the day. Why's he looking directly at the camera? Seems like he's in the middle of a pretty fast turn.
