Claude Sonnet 4 describes the image as: "This image shows a scene from what appears to be a science fiction television production, likely from the 1970s or 1980s based on the visual style and film quality. The setting is clearly a futuristic spacecraft or space station, with characteristic sci-fi interior design elements including control panels, screens, and technological equipment visible in the background. The lighting and set design have that distinctive retro-futuristic aesthetic common to…

Phanpy doesn't support quoots yet, so I'm using Mastodon's stock web interface and.. it's bad. Compare how busy it looks with unnecessary stuff (do I really need a "post" input form on screen at all times? Do I need a link to "favorites" visible at all times?), but also - the fonts are bad. Bad, bad, bad. Just so much harder to read. And the timeline toots just kind of run together, rather than being clearly delineated by whitespace in phanpy.

Phanpy interface, showing a single column with clearly delineated toots. Up top there's a hamburger icon (that gets you links to everything else), a bell icon (for notifications), and on the bottom right hand side of the screen a little ink quill icon for posting. And the font text is bigger/clearer.
Mastodon's official UI home screen. There are three columns taking up the whole screen. Left column has half taken up with an input form for posting a new toot. Then there's some wasted space, and at the bottom a bunch of text links: "social.ridetrans.it: [About] [Profiles directory] [privacy policy]", etc. The middle column has all the toots from my timeline. There is only a single thin grey line separating the toots, and the text is small and somewhat difficult to read. The right column…

Claude 3.7 describes the image as: "This image appears to be from the classic British science fiction television series "Blake's 7." The scene shows two people in a futuristic spacecraft setting, with distinctive angular wall panels visible in the background that were characteristic of the show's set design. The person on the left is wearing a greenish metallic top, while the person on the right is dressed in a dark outfit with a structured vest or armor piece that has padded shoulders and a p…
