While I’ve seen these before, I find this hard to believe this isn’t a screenshot from The Witness (2016).
I just came here to say this too! After playing that game I started seeing those Witness style paths everywhere in real life, can’t wait for that feeling again with this AI generated stuff
I’m torn. The images look cool and it’s amazing they can do that, but I sure hope it didn’t become trendy to make QR codes that are hard to recognize and can only be read in ideal conditions.
I have a QR code framed and hanging on the wall in my foyer for guest wifi access. I am definitely going to artsy it up like this so it looks nicer on my wall. People who want wifi will ask and I’ll just tell them to scan that picture. They’re usually impressed by that now; I’m excited to see how they react when they don’t even recognize that it’s a QR code.
Now I have to do this as well 😂 what a great idea
Probably not, as the person who wants them to be scanned probably wants them to be easy to be recognized so it gets scanned. The incentive is still to make it clearly recognizable.
Will be a lot less ugly when we are all wearing Google glass type lenses that can just detect these on the fly.
Next we make this landscape in the world so people can scan it if they are at the exact right angle. Then 100’s of years later some Indiana Jones type will use it to open a door to the holy grail.
Wait, hold on, has anyone thought to scan the nazca lines

Didnt think it would scan. I am seriously impressed.

I like the use of the Anakin/Padme meme.
While this looks cool, my phone can’t actually scan any of these. Anybody else have any luck?
yes, it goes to reticulated.net
Couldn’t get it to work on 2 phones
Did you try shrinking the photos a bit? I narrowed the browser to shrink them and my phone camera picked up 11 of 12 of the ones in a grid.
That article is about… 3 or 4 months too late
Good for you knowing this before everyone else who knew! Really impressive! You’re so cool!
Now stop assuming everyone has read news that you have.
Agreed.
This is the same behaviour with reddit users complaining about reposts and spamming repostsleuth bots… Not everyone is chronically online and knows every meme since 2001.
Just downvote and leave…
Can I hazard a guess that you’re an ex redditor? People try to be nicer to each other here. I’m a reddit refugee myself and it’s sometimes hard to change habits but this place is nice and it’s worth it. To me this whole migration kerfuffle seems like a rare opportunity to be more thoughful in my interactions with people online. So far it’s making for a much nicer experience.
If people try to be nicer here, why do I have 18 downvotes for simply saying the SD community has already moved on from this?
The only thing they aren’t nice about is people not being nice. Hehe.
Because it’s a lie.
If you haven’t seen this XKCD before, congrats, you’re in today’s lucky 10,000.
How was my comment making fun of people?
You were calling it out for being “too late.” Ie, that it’s something everyone already knows.
Fucking deadlines! Who can keep up!?
