[Anonymous No.20074777]

I just looked it up.
Bluefin is a new years tradition in japan.
Also, the japanese are obsessed with spending tons of money on "perfect" looking foods as a way to be auspicious.

So this was just some japanese billionaire showing off like "hey happy new years poorfags"

Well at least there didn't seem to be an attempt to pass that image off as the actual tuna in question.

Correct. Here's the real fish. Most of the stories using the AI image are also bullshitting people. This wasn't a record-breaking price, it was the 4th-highest price. The first blue fins caught each year usually go for stupid high prices because they can auction the freshest, largest and nicest looking ones at a premium to be used in special new year's dishes: https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2024/01/e00f428bb398-tuna-fetches-114-million-yen-at-new-year-auction-in-tokyo.html

It's actually how it really works, and if you had a real job then you would know that.

Kek, I barely leave 4chan, anon. I meant that it'll be interesting with so much generated content out there because it's like nothing will be real anymore. Search engine image results? How much of that will be generated after 5 years? Bit disturbing to think about.

>>20077379
Well yeah it was obvious, but that's why I wanted to see if they tried to pass it off as the actual fish
