Playboy Memes

Oh. My. GOD. The origin story of computer vision we NEVER asked for! 😱 The meme shows the UNHOLY alliance between serious computer scientists and thirsty boomers that birthed image processing technology. The infamous "Lenna" image (cropped from a 1972 Playboy centerfold) became THE standard test image for compression algorithms for DECADES. Literally using softcore adult content to advance science! The academic world's most scandalous open secret - they could've used ANY image, but nooooo, they chose THAT one. Computer science history at its most tragically hilarious!
