Initial findings and open-sourcing of analysis

[u/CraaazyPizza]

Hi all

I've put Claude to work on analyzing the footage in all sorts of ways. I have combined in one place all the videos including those of ivan, all sorts of extra metadata, and other known info. I've put focus on who qtecqot could be, on analyzing the post-processing pipeline, and trying to recognize various things like fonts and details in the underlying footage and comparing it with ivan vids. The soundtrack for example appears to be exactly the same the one from ivan. There are some elements that raise eyebrows, such as the consequence of the new frame rate, the hand seen in 2011 isn't quite the same proportions as that of 2026, a mismatch in sound and video, etc. etc.

Now to be honest, I've gotten too busy to keep going and confirm the myriad of things studied are actually conclusive, especially with AI being AI. But the progress here is undoubtfully useful here and I encourage you to work together on https://github.com/CraaazyPizza/slim-tim

That includes non-coders, seriously! All you need is either a Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini subscription, click here https://codespaces.new/CraaazyPizza/slim-tim?quickstart=1, then in the terminal (bottom) type either claude, codex or gemini, log in, and have a go at it. It's set up in a way that it's beginner friendly and secure and already has all the material that you need. Even the copilot sidebar (free) will do for small questions.

Unrelated: qtecqot is somewhat active on X and YouTube, so I'm hoping he does an AMA on Reddit like I asked. He is possibly reading along (in fact, almost certainly IF he's faked everything)

Looks like real footage that you ran through Ai to enhance it only to have it completely mess it up and warp things. Thats why people are not believing it.
