Pictures for possibilities.

Explore the world behind the crystal ball: 21 credited web images and 32 locally generated illustrations. The photographs give historical or subject context. The AI scenes imagine ideas, devices and questions; they do not show future events or establish an outcome.

This photo revision preserves every forecast, probability, cutoff and scoring rule. The subtle UAP motif is playful branding. The experiment is a small exercise in forecasting, not a demonstration of AGI or foreknowledge.
