# Western блат
|
|
|
|
(In Russian, "блат" refers to a form of corruption based on mutual favors
|
|
between officials or businessmen. It is pronounced like "blat".)
|
|
|
|
This is a simple Python script based on Pillow which allows you to generate
|
|
moderately convincing [Western blot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_blot)
|
|
images for use in falsifying research outcomes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Why?
|
|
|
|
I watched [this Pete Judo video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PwMQf8FHuw)
|
|
and was annoyed by the assertion that diffusion image models represent a unique
|
|
risk for academic integrity. You can cheat at research with just a regular
|
|
computer, no AI required.
|
|
|
|
## How?
|
|
|
|
Either use the `shell.nix` or install Pillow, then just run `gen.py`. If you
|
|
have `timg`, gen.py's output is the path of the generated file and can be
|
|
directly piped into `timg` for display.
