"Mountains of Kong
Mythical chain of mountains
The Mountains of Kong are a legendary mountain range charted on maps of Africa from 1798 through to at least the late 1880s.[1] The mountains were once thought to begin in West Africa near the highland source of the Niger River close to Tembakounda in Guinea, then continue east to the equally legendary Mountains of the Moon in Central Africa, thought to be where the White Nile had its source. None of these mountains actually exist."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gx262oulyu2xvanibhw7ugg7/bafkreiemwqo4qiw2gokqsn3arkdyqexim2ykzlxpt27ji2qd7ct2rixwfq)

When I'm looking at someone else's project, if I see an element of the environment [where] they use generative fill or whatever to change something about the scene, it just shuts off the part of my brain that wants to know more about that world. Because I would assume if they're willing to make an arbitrary choice there, they could make an arbitrary choice with literally anything.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wk7ktvs3sld47pgfndy43gyp/bafkreid3oivudz5p3kmcuu6ss3gr2tmy73r3uqe3ljh6h5rxbeax2dcme4)
