FROM THE THREAD
/ Hat tip to Joel Kahn and Gavin McHugh in Joel's Post:
=================================
Joel: "I believe that Tom Kirkman should expand his research in zoology.
Schrodinger's cat, the time traveling duck, the quantum rabbit, the solar powered cow, and the rest of the gang should meet the octopus.
Gavin: "Fritz Lang's Octopolis? A 1927 film that exists only between my ears.
alternate image, although the text got garbled by AI.
My text prompt to Grok AI was:
Please create a *surreal dystopian film noir movie poster* in the style of Fritz Lang's Metropolis, a 1927 expressionistic science fiction black and white film.
Entitle the movie "Octopolis".
(Side note, an obscure plural of octopus is "octopedes", from the Greek origin of the word).
Somewhere on the movie poster slogan, include the word "octopedes" as part of the crowd of *humanoid octupuses*."
/ Side note, a fairly obscure plural version of octopus is "octopedes", from the Greek and Latin origins of the word:
“Octo-” comes from the Greek word “οκτώ” (októ), meaning “eight.”
“-pede” derives from the Latin word “pedis,” meaning “foot.”
Octotropics causes Climate Change. Prove me wrong.

indeed. Octopedes can also be better at problem solving than many humans.
If 2 heads are better than 1, 8 hands are better than 2.

yep. A ground breaking sci-fi movie, doused in dystopia.
Totally unlike today's super-modern hyper-intelligent world of independent intellectuals.

Next year, NYC will become a shining beacon of this.
All fixed up in a gaslighting self-righteous pseudo-intellectual marxist jiffy, with all social ill solved !
one of the rejected images from my post slated for tomorrow (apparently I've made too many posts today)
yes. Yes it is.
At my wits end.
Before asking Grok AI to generate this image, I called up hundreds of previous references of my text prompts.
The results were mixed.
Gerry Deagnon I am amazed at your image folder repository
Jason Brackin I like the way you think 😃
Enjoyed that?
