Russian psyops

The American right are nasty enough to do this all by themselves.

The sooner you realize that the call is coming from inside the house, the better. We’re dealing with a revived KKK and a government that openly supports them. These people are very capable of running their own psyops.

I fear it could be something even more dubious than that.
A marketing campaign for an American company with a foothold in the Whitehouse.

Reality is now a Who’s Line Is It Anyway. Everything isn’t real and points don’t matter.

Taylor Lorenz has had some great videos on AI Slop lately.

I feel like AI generated videos of very active things like protests would be easy to debunk. Just look at the people in the background and point out the people disappearing after moving behind another person, or look for changing faces.

Doesn’t matter how easy it is to debunk. I assume you were around for COVID and Trump’s first term?

You haven’t seen a lot of Sora 2 videos. Identifiable traits require a pretty careful eye in many videos to spot.
You absolutely can’t even rely on the watermark, since removing that watermark is trivial to the nation-states running disinfo campaigns, and even for end users removal is trivial compared to creating typical public AI video models.

Even that little blur effect people use to get rid of watermarks, sure it’s sora but it could as easily just be a tiktok username, which people remove all the time. So the people who want to believe it, will.
Jason2357@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
In the article they mention videos with literal AI watermarks being passed around as if they were real. The targets want to believe they are true and will ignore anyone debunking them.

Anyone acting out violently should be culled from society. Not partisan issue. I definitely lean like way left and there is much to be done without murder. Work ‘em into a frenzy. Let them eat their own. Let them have their violence upon themselves. See, I didn’t do a goddamn thing. These fuckers are gonna off themselves quicker than Howard Dean can say woooo!

Maybe I’ll regret asking, but what could “haiku-level brilliant” even mean?

Typical MAGA astonishment at 17 syllables.

MAGAts are typically older, so they have less technical knowledge, so they’re more likely to fall for AI slop and conspiracy theories.

I’m saying it again: We can’t know what’s true anymore. Whenever something happens more than a few miles away, chances are high that you know nobody who was involved there physically, so there’s no reliable way of knowing what actually happened anymore.
I think we can only make reasonable choices about things that are close enough to ourselves; not about very far-away entities.

I’m pretty sure that dancing frog was real. It has soul.

If you record a video on your phone, is there no Metadata to help verify its validity? Gotta be something we can do about this.
