In 10 years we went from "SoTA is so far from achieving this I don't even know where to start" to "That'll be $0.0004 per token and have a nice day"
In the image, Barack Obama, the former U.S. President, seems to be playfully posing as if he's trying to add weight while another official, who appears to be former UK Prime Minister David Cameron, is standing on a scale. Obama's gesture, where he's putting his foot forward as though trying to press down on the scale, suggests a playful attempt to make Cameron appear heavier. The lightheartedness of such a playful gesture, especially in the context of world leaders typically engaged in serious discussions, is a break from formality, which is likely why others in the vicinity are laughing. The scene captures a candid, informal moment amidst what might have been a formal setting or meeting.
"President Barack Obama jokingly puts his toe on the scale as Trip Director Marvin Nicholson, unaware to the President's action, weighs himself as the presidential entourage passed through the volleyball locker room at the University of Texas in Austin, Texas, Aug. 9, 2010.

"The humor in this picture comes from the juxtaposition of a formal setting with an informal, unexpected action. It shows a group of well-dressed individuals, possibly political figures or professionals, in what appears to be a formal event or gathering. However, amidst this serious environment, one tall man is casually standing on a scale to check his weight, seemingly unaware or unbothered by the presence of the others. The contrast between the formal setting and the informal action makes the image amusing. Additionally, the reactions of the other individuals, particularly the man looking at the scale, add to the comedic element."
It got the humor but didn't identify Obama.
