This is "The Triumph of Death" by Pieter Bruegel the Elder.

This is slightly later. You can see that the lower left corner is already quite a bit brighter now.
A photo of the moon shortly after moon rise during the September 2025 lunar eclipse. The lower left arc is very bright, while the rest is very dark and has got an orange hue.

Full moon during the September 2025 lunar eclipse
A photo of the full moon. Due the lunar eclipse only a lower left arc is actually brightly illuminated. The rest is very weakly illuminated (not completely visible in the photo due to limited dynamic range, but it was visible to the naked eye).

Quote from The End of Nature by Bill McKibben: "About a half mile from my house, right at the head of the lake, the town has installed a streetlight. It is the only one for miles, and it is undeniably useful - without it, a car or two each summer would undoubtedly miss the turn and end up in the drink. Still, it intrudes on the dark. Most of the year, once the summer people have left, there is not another light to be seen. On a starry night the Milky Way stands out like a marquee; on a cloudy night you can walk in utter pitch- black, unable to see even the dog trotting at your side. But then, around the corner, there is the streetlamp, and soon you are in its sodium-vapor circle, a circle robbed of mystery by its illumination. It's true that the bugs love the lamp; on a June night there is more wildlife buzzing around it than in any square acre of virgin forest. But it breaks up the feeling of the night. And now it is as if we had put a huge lamp in the sky, and cast that same prosaic sterile light at all times on all places."

Screenshot from https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Arthur_Eddington. The text reads: "The law that entropy always increases, holds, I think, the supreme position among the laws of Nature. If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell's equations — then so much the worse for Maxwell's equations. If it is found to be contradicted by observation — well, these experimentalists do bungle things sometimes. But if your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation. Ch. 4 : The Running-Down of the Universe"

Is everything compromised?

(with apologies to Randall Munroe)
An edit of xkcd 1353 Heartbleed (https://xkcd.com/1353/). Megan: LLMs must be the worst threat to information ever. Cueball: Worst so far. Give us time. Megan: I mean, this tech isn't just some text snippets. Megan: It let's anyone make plausible works at scale. Megan: It's not just chats. It's research papers. Emails. Books. Erotic fanfiction.

Can relate.
This photo is mostly unprocessed from RAW. It's possible to improve things a bit with post-processing.

Photo of a place in the forest. In the foreground, the lower right corner roughly, there is green shrubbery. A bit further away there is an old small fallen tree. Further back there are withering leaves on the ground and dense growth of trees.

A photo of the undergrowth in the forest. There are bright spots of yellowish/goldish light illuminating the green moss on the ground. Further away the trees look dense and the area between them dark.
