ha. the only balloon is deflated
The expert wasn’t in yet.
Truer words were never spoken.
lol the balloon is phasing into the chair because it’s the one thing tha ai didn’t get close
I can’t believe nothing
Real (not the image)
“I know a lot of uncomfortable trivia due to hyperfixation caused by ADHD and your reaction to it is more of a you problem” then a blank stare.
How can you tell? Is it the balloon?
I never notice these things… Is there a game on the internet where you have to detect ai images
Yes the balloon is phasing into the chair and also zoom in at the picture of the people giving each other high fives. The guy on the far right, arms don’t work like that.
The text is also a bit weird
But yes, the balloon inside the chair is the telltale
I would love to learn what stands out about the text. Is it the margins on the paper?
I don’t even know if I could put it into words… It’s too bold and clear compared to the rest of the stuff in the scene.
I also think there’s something about the angle the supposed photo was taken from that would make the text look subtly distorted in some way, and it’s not.
partially the balloon, but also the “mandatory fun” poster is way too on-the-nose - nobody working in HR is self-aware enough to do that
I just figured it with being so on the nose that it was from an episode of The Office or something like that.
I didn’t think of that. If i worked in HR I’d totally do this.
It’s important to remember that while HR as an institution exists to prevent lawsuits, most people go into HR because they like humans.
If they like humans then why are they like this?
Non-standard paper sizes (specifically our right, with the emojis) tipped me off
Everything looks pretty convincing until you see the balloon magically phasing through the chair.
Headless Mike, Suzie long arms and Johnny the two right Wonder Boy didn’t tip you off?
Wow that was a jump scare when I zoomed in.
The door frame also has two completely different latches and paint colors on either side.
I’m really glad we have offices to contain these people, and keep them away from the general population.
The problem is, they occasionally escape containment, end up on an outdoor trip of some kind, and decide that a game of “let’s go around the circle and introduce ourselves” is what we should be doing, rather than the activity we came here to do.
Scary, but not quite as bad as: Meeting invite: no title, later this morning, attendees are your manager and HR. (That is, layoffs.)
My wife was laid off at the begging of the month and it went something like this. The HR girl went to her table and asked her and other coworker to come with her to a meeting room. In the meeting room was other HR person who asked the three of them to sit and told them that they were laid off, including the HR lady that came for my wife.
When I was fired my boss just told me to come with him for a minute. Knew right then I was being fired. He lead me down to the conference room and HR is sitting there only cementing my thought.
I have also had this one be 1. Someone has died in the office. 2. You senior manager / director was fired for corruption and HR wants to question everyone for involvement.
You know what’s fuckin’ wild? I’ve literally only ever had to do these dumbass “team-building exercises” that treat you like a toddler in kindergarten at jobs where you never actually work as a god damn team. Meanwhile, every job that required working with others in some meaningful way just threw you into the grinder and let you figure it out.
This is spiking my anxiety.
We had one where we had to share a fun fact about our names. I opened with “actually I’ve got a fake name” and freaked out my boss, it was fun. My ancestor made up a fake name while emigrating over a century ago.
For fun, instead of ‘two truths and a lie’, give them three lies. But make them plausible.
My dear doctor, it’s all true.
If there’s a Hell, this is what I imagine it would look like.
With jazz playing
On an awful thin and tinny speaker
You monster!
Fucking nightmare.
On my last corpo job onboarding there were about 50 new starters and the HR lady pulled out a microphone and asked everyone to share something interesting about themselves as an ice breaker.
You could hear the cringe in the air. I just said that I like coffee.
I quite enjoyed Mandarory Fun!
Where did you get this CIA blacksite room photo?
