I'm reading a book by Evelyn Waugh about his travels in Africa in the 1930's, and he mentions the Afar people, so I looked them up and ran across this:

https://onlybyland.com/afar-people/



Wtf? The site doesn't even mention that the woman's head is missing. Any idea what's going on here?

Most likely thing is that whole page was generated by AI.

(Posted this before, but somehow this post went missing.)

Bizarro! But it seems they have nice pointy breasts! 👍🏼 Real Nice…

I got the former, but have no idea other than computer-generated pic. The second one here seems to be genuine. I don't think you can stand up without a head LOL

Wish I knew how that first attempt at posting this disappeared. Either someone got my password, or got into my server, or I've got early-onset Alzheimer's and don't remember deleting it myself. Or maybe there's some bug or db issue.

BTW, the Afar were called the Danakil until recently, but somehow that sounds offensive in Arabic.

Also interesting: their men are not considered men until they kill another man, so it's an extremely murderous tribe. And once they kill a man, they tend to castrate the dead guy and keep his testicles as an ornament.

Looking at the top of the neck, it looks like molded plastic, where a plastic/vinyl head on a post is then inserted into it.
I would guess it's a mannequin.

But upon further inspection, look at the mountain vista in the background. The mountains in the far background looks like an artistic rendering of scenery from the Roadrunner and Coyote. Then you see a Mountain base on the left side, but in the foreground of the death valley vista in the background. That mountain base is clear and in focus. But the foot hills in the foreground of that clear mountain base, is grainy and out of focus. That is not the optics of real photography. Must be AI generated.

Giving head just got a whole new meaning.

Fucking AI is in its infancy but I'm already tired of this shit.

Also look at the thumb on the guy second from left. Classic AI artifact.

Apparently there was a McDs ad that was 100% AI Generated, and also loathed for it's cynical, assholic take on the holidays. The message being, Christmas sucks so hide from your family and the Holiday at McDs. Ran in Germany or Netherlands, maybe.

Cynicism is boring after a while, I gotta say.

I would say that whole blog page was AI generated. Every photo and every word of text.

It was made from afar using AI.

I wonder what their prison population looks like? Or, do they even have prisons?

I doubt they have prisons. They live in the most God-forsaken hellscape on earth. Ultra hot desert. Literally salted earth. They trade salt for goods.
