Lunch atop a Skyscraper is a black-and-white photograph taken on September 20, 1932, of eleven ironworkers sitting on a steel beam of the RCA Building, 850 feet (260 meters) above the ground during the construction of Rockefeller Center in Manhattan, New York City. It was a staged photograph arranged as a publicity stunt, part of a campaign promoting the skyscraper.

Sadly the original image was just capitalist propaganda. Impressive yes, but an entirely manufactured celebration of the worker for cynical advertising reasons.

    I don't know why you thought that AI garbage was a rational argument, but you gotta learn somehow that such crap isn't welcome here

    That's the first paragraph of the wikipedia article about the image, you dork.

    Are you implying that wikipedia article is AI, or... wait where'd I even admit anything?

    ... Dude are you okay? This is unhinged.

    But you called out a direct quote taken from wikipedia as AI bullshit - you did exactly the thing I just described. Also, show me where I admitted something? You neglected that in your reply just now. It's pretty important.

    Just... look we can all see that you misidentified a legitimate quote as having been written by an AI, attacked me over it (sure fair enough, AI slop shouldn't be here, just you know... make sure it is slop before you pull the trigger), and now it's spiraling. It happens, people make mistakes. Just take the L and move on.

    Hours ago

    My initial comment, as of posting, was 53 minutes ago. Seriously are you okay? Time skips are no joke and this is really erratic behavior.

    (er also, no, asking someone to support their claims isn't an attempt to highlight their supposed hypocrisy)

    Sure whatever, but it still was less than an hour ago. And you dtill haven't explained to me what I admitted, I notice.

    Any hurt feelings it might have caused were very well salved by watching that call out get ratio'd to fuck ❤️

    They're going to go back later and edit all their replies to make it look like you are being combative and they are just asking polite questions. It's some weird gaslighting trend. Check back on the thread tomorrow, all watson's replies will either be deleted or edited.

    I feel like I'm reading a drunk version of IBM's Watson. Guess he's fallen on hard times after ChatGPT became the new fad...

    They're doing it all over the place just now, I'm genuinely kinda worried since their post history shows them to be a dick but not a complete toon like how they're behaving here...

    I can't even load their post history... did their account get nuked?

    Nah, that's what it looks like when people delete their account. Lemmy just patched the reason trolls did it - it used to make their posts un-removable by mods (and apparently admins). Weird such an established account was doing it, though.
