  Has anyone tried GPT-4V on that image?

    Note: I had to ask it why people in the photo are laughing. In the image, Barack Obama, the former U.S. President, seems to be playfully posing as if he's trying to add weight while another official, who appears to be former UK Prime Minister David Cameron, is standing on a scale. Obama's gesture, where he's putting his foot forward as though trying to press down on the scale, suggests a playful attempt to make Cameron appear heavier. The lightheartedness of such a playful gesture, especially in the context of world leaders typically engaged in serious discussions, is a break from formality, which is likely why others in the vicinity are laughing. The scene captures a candid, informal moment amidst what might have been a formal setting or meeting.

      Pretty damn good. According to Wikimedia [0]: "President Barack Obama jokingly puts his toe on the scale as Trip Director Marvin Nicholson, unaware to the President's action, weighs himself as the presidential entourage passed through the volleyball locker room at the University of Texas in Austin, Texas, Aug. 9, 2010. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza)" 0: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:White_House_Trip_Director_Marvin_Nicholson_stopped_to_weigh_himself_on_a_scale,_August_2010_(2).jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:White_House_Trip_Dir...

    This image (and the text around it) is certainly already in the training data. Need to create that scenario from scratch with some grad students and then try it.

    Another response for this image a friend sent: "The humor in this picture comes from the juxtaposition of a formal setting with an informal, unexpected action. It shows a group of well-dressed individuals, possibly political figures or professionals, in what appears to be a formal event or gathering. However, amidst this serious environment, one tall man is casually standing on a scale to check his weight, seemingly unaware or unbothered by the presence of the others. The contrast between the formal setting and the informal action makes the image amusing. Additionally, the reactions of the other individuals, particularly the man looking at the scale, add to the comedic element." It got the humor but didn't identify Obama.

      It doesn't get the humor. The whole "foot on the scale" aspect and how it increases weight.

      I got this. "The humor in this picture stems from the juxtaposition of the formal setting and attire with the playful and unexpected situation. It appears that one of the men is being measured for his height, which is not a typical activity during formal events or gatherings, especially with other distinguished individuals observing. Additionally, the expressions on the faces of the participants add to the humor, as they seem to be enjoying the lighthearted moment. The surprise element of this unexpected situation amidst an otherwise formal setting creates a humorous contrast." Pretty similar!

  Karpathy ends on a note of despair "Maybe I should just do a startup. I have a really cool idea for a mobile local social iPhone app." That's exactly the path his now-boss took to bring us this. :)
