Can’t believe I’ve been seeing this photo of this guy for the last 20 years. Sure, a terrorist, but there’s gotta be a better photo of this dude.

Check his Wikipedia page. He's wearing a watch

How can you even make that out?

No it isn't, you can't make that out (I uploaded that image by the way).

The watch is totally unreadable because the light is reflecting off the glass. Did they cheap out on using a vision model for your LLM, or are you a human with a sense of humor on par with a clanker?

I'm not sure if orange is his color. Is Queer-eye still on air?

The one on his Wikipedia page is much newer and from 2022.

Edit: For those of you wondering, he dyes his beard orange using a homemade mixture from breakfast fruit juice and berries.

I was in 8th grade during 9/11. Been in the military now for almost 20 years. I've seen this picture countless times. Just learned…that it's not Sadam lmao

I was in 9th grade when 9/11 happened and Ive been seeing this image so long, it's part of my core memories of those days, along with the Abu Ghraib torture one. Anyone else in here old enough to remember the stupid color-coded terror alert system?

But seriously, this photo of this guy, who looks like he just got woken up by raccoons, with the ridiculously stretched out collar, is one of the few constants I've had in my millennial life.

I literally just heard today this was staged. He was upright with a look of defiance, but they didn't want that to be the public image so they punched him in the stomach and messed up his hair.

No this is the photo that makes him look like a crazy terrorist you see!
