So clean. So orderly. This is pure satisfaction.
The photo is from the Hanford B Reactor in Washington state, USA.

it’s clean and orderly now but when a wire breaks in the middle of that loom and needs a bodge repair that thing ends up looking fucked
I don’t know how nuke plants are run, but maybe they’d just replace it entirely.
I don’t know much about nuclear plants either but I do know a bit about wires and I think you are correct. It’s very unlikely that one of these cables just snaps, look how they twisted the wires in that ‘arm’ so it can move and bend forming a nice elbow. So if it’s corrosion, temperature, mechanical shock… it could affect other cables as well making advisable to replace the whole bunch altogether.
That said I’ve seen a very similar looking wiring, though very different machine, an electronic organ from the 60s. Among other issues there were some dead keys on one of the keyboards and the problem was the wires. I just ran a new bunch with an exactly looking cable, laced it the same way as the other bunches, and put it kind of hidden between them. It didn’t stand out at all, most people would not notice at all.
That’s pretty much how I’d expect it to go yeah, every electrician I’ve worked with has been super particular about wiring. Even having done my own in-field bodges on wire looms for equipment (just splicing a wire because I didn’t have an available spare or time to redo the harness) it doesn’t stick out, especially after all the cable wrap or zip ties.
That sounds fun. Looking at the picture again I feel like over time eventually the stress of opening and closing the panel would weaken something at least. Although tbf maybe it’s rarely opened
This makes me think of neural pathways in a brain. Or blood vessels.
Ours wouldn’t look like this even if we try.
Holy shit, I’d never expected a Hot Shots GIF in here.
There was a Schlock Mercenary one the other day, it’s getting wild in here
With a yellow label RayoVac and a silver black cat Eveready?!
Ohh ho baby!
NERD
Good luck having to swap out just one of those cables. lmao
Chances that the wiring would be faulty here are much smaller than the other components.
Plus you’d just put another cable and leave the faulty one in the bundle. And if more than a few wires are faulty, you just replace all of them to be sure.
I love me some good lace myself…
Whether it’s cable lacing or lace garments is mostly irrelevant.I somehow initially interpreted this as meaning:
‘Here is a depiction of a primitive computer wiring bundle at Hanford, which was used to rout porn.’
Had to blink a few times.
They were way ahead of their time. /s

It’s definitely not AI. It’s on display as part of the B Reactor tour. You can find other photos of the same display. For example:

Are you a troll? That Reddit image is from 5 years ago. LLMs were not capable of creating that 5 years, ergo it’s a real fucking place.
Dude just look up the reactor he’s talking about.
There’s some news articles from 2019 with almost identical images.

Use your brain instead of some automated tool. The model the tool is using is probably using these public photos as part of it’s training data
Ironically using “ai” to detect “ai”, poorly.
It’s organic looking

You mean the clearly legible text? lol
Like a tree that grew there. A binary tree.
Nice
Mmmmmm

You’re AI slop

Nice, proof that this is indeed an AI bot account, just repeating itself.
Its doesn’t prove shit.
Look at all the numbers and letters, perfect English no distortion or spelling mistakes that AI still make with this many labels.
The OP links elsewhere showing the exact same box thing from 5 years ago on a different angle.
This is not AI, it’s just a well taken photo with good lighting and probably some post editing touch ups for colouring. AI detecting is as accurate as a lie detector.
Yeah, and that account was created specifically to complain about AI
See the other comment that I left moments ago. This isn’t AI; it’s real equipment on public display. I linked other photos of the same thing from different sources.
It’d be pretty impressive slop to get all those dials and labels right.
Hmm. I feel like one could make much more literal wire routing porn, if one wanted.

Mmm I’m a sucker for well lashed/dressed cables.
Thought that was a can of tomatoes on the lower right there for a second.

Funny, I thought it was a can of Pepsi, if it’s the same thing we’re looking at.
