Where is #8 on this list?
This should be a direct link to the image of the building in question:
I don’t recognize it, but based on its appearance I’d guess a Cold War era building from one of the Warsaw Pact nations in Eastern Europe.
The AI mode of Google Image Search says it’s a “residential complex located on Kalinina Street, 47b in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, developed by Zheldoripoteka.” Googling further, it might be this one. I found a Reddit discussion of the image that said that windowless facades are common on one side of Russian buildings.
That’s all assuming the building exists at all. It would be very easy to generate a fake image, even without AI.
Maybe. But I think AI would probably screw up those phone lines or power lines just above the swapped red and white tiles. Something like having those lines disappear around the edge of the building, or the one next to it, or something of that sort. That missing tile on the lower left corner also seems like it’s something AI wouldn’t do in that way.
You can get close to that address using Streetview in Google Maps.
I wonder what the swapped colors halfway up on the left signify. Unexplained artistic choice? Unnoticed error during assembly? Prank by the builders?
Thanks. I didn’t even try Google Street View. I am a little surprised they covered Russia; that the Russians allowed them to drive all over with car-mounted cameras.
I mean, Russians drive all over Russia with car-mounted cameras, so perhaps they’re not too bothered by it. I assume that the truly sensitive places were still off-limits (just as they would be in any other country.)
A map of the places that Street View covers is Street View Map .
The title of the article the OP posted to is “19 Hilarious Screenshots Of Workers Who Absolutely Did NOT Understand The Assignment”, so I’m going with screwup.
When I saw the image it first reminded me of the AT&T Long Lines building in Manhattan…like a distant cousin.
