They're not going make you subconsciously crave McDonald's, but they are pretty cool as optical illusions.

    Subliminal messaging has never convincingly been shown to work outside of specific laboratory conditions.

    That said, this made me laugh:

    On Twitter—which is now called “X” for some reason

        Superliminal advertising is way more effective.

      I think it’s called X because of Space X. Which follows simpleton Microsoft pattern of thinking basic numbers and letters are somehow “cool” - Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One. With the next one everyone’s mind will explode.

        It’s called X because that was the name of his first company before PayPal bough it. He wants X to be an ‘everything app’ including banking. It will fail.

    This is the opposite of subliminal. It’s almost super-liminal. This people must think that a punch in the face is subtle disagreement.

      Other way around, people think subtle disagreement is a punch in the face

        No, i think it ws right the first time. They think something that is super-liminal is subliminal. That’s the big obvious thing, vs. the small subtle thing. So, in conparison, they would think a punch in the face is a subtle disagreement. So big obvious thing vs. small subtle thing.

      Funnily enough gay sex was fine in ancient Rome (as long as you were the dominant one) but having sex in the light (whether natural or candle light) was seen as a massive taboo.

      (Amongst the upper and middle classes anyway, I doubt the majority of people cared)

    What’s going on is them ruining cats for me. Every time I see one of these pictures I want to puke at how unrealistic the animals look. I found myself to truly despise AI generated content with burning passion.

          You have some serious mental issues, I’d recommend looking for a psychiatrist. If you don’t, I’ll generate an AI image of your face – this is a real threat!

    Every week, the social media hype-train seems to find new ways to sensationalize generative AI tools. Most recently, a new technique that allows users to produce optical illusions went viral, with some describing the results as AI-generated images with “subliminal” messages.

    These writers got the same energy as an envious teenage girl
