Why does this screenshot looks like from a cheap porn?

[–] mEEGal@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

gets them clicks

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 4 points 6 days ago

That's just how MAGA likes their women.

Are you starting an aneurysm?

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

this screenshot looks more like the beginning of something else. I wonder where they trained their AI model on hmm...

[–] Eggyhead@lemmings.world 5 points 5 days ago

It’s the U.S. equivalent of cheap N. Korea propaganda videos.

I noticed Youtube try to push one about Trump petting a cat. Reported it for abuse.

[–] unphazed@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Someone really needs to do clips from Hogan Knows Best but with a superimposed MTG in response.

[–] shawn1122@lemm.ee 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Anyone have a link to the video? Looking for a good laugh.

[–] shawn1122@lemm.ee 20 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Found it, for anyone reading don't bother. It is still images with an AI voiceover. I was hoping for half baked AI generated video.

Soon there will be Byzantine icons of Marjorie Greene breast feeding baby Jesus

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 89 points 1 week ago (3 children)

So churn out more monstrous and bile forming videos about them.

AI is a two edged street.

Brilliant. 🤣

You only get takedown notices for negative content. It's the new and improved Free Speech Censorship®

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

And at worst, it'll spread misinfo, which will be used against legitimate criticism. Hungary has an Orbán birtherism problem, so many claim that Orbán was born as Orsós and is secretly a Romani, and that's the reason why he's a corrupt politician. If dare to criticize Orbán, his followers will accuse you of having "Orbán derangement syndrome", and being a "real racist" who tries to frame the prime minister you don't like "the same ethnicity as robbers and murderers"...

These already exist without AI.

'But trump was on the phone with insurance companies to hurricane victims! Trump personally delivered truckloads of supplies! Trump gifted his salary to-'

And on... and on... and on... forever the anticdote of 'personal genorosity' while it's clear these human cesspits spew hatrid and worship personal greed.

Those kind of anticdotes are what my family use to defend the man. These 'proofs' that he's just a decent guy getting harassed by the world.

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

A decent guy giving to the right people. Ask them if the US government gave enough monetary relief to the Carolininas after their hurricane last year. At some point later, ask if the government gave enough to New Orleans. They'll flip from saying the mountain folk deserve more but New Orleans is at its own fault for not repairing the levys.

Or don't ask. You'll get a dumb answer at best, a racist answer at worst. Either way, it's not going to be productive unless your goal is to hate them more.

I think you mean anecdotes my friend

[–] gargolito@lemm.ee 51 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Republican reality is artificial and unsustainable. It will take a long time but fascists always lose in the end.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Fascists always lose in the end

The Kim family has had almost 3 full generations of not facing any consequences for their actions in NK. The Saudi royal family has been living it up in luxury for decades. Sorry, but I think your statement is childishly idyllic and not reflective of the real world.

Karma doesn't exist. The good guys dont always win. Some of the most evil people imaginable will die peacefully in their sleep at the age of 90, wealthy, and surrounded by family that loves them.

[–] gargolito@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You confuse history with karma. Authoritarians don't outlast humanity. The "real world" bends in centuries, not decades. Your attempt at an argument is myopic and unsophisticated.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yeah no, he also has a point.

Humanity may survive but that is the same as saying not to worry about climate change because Earth will survive; it's of little help to me here, right now

The reality of the situation is that you don't know. Just because history worked in a certain way doesn't mean the future will, especially with the rapid changes we're facing today

[–] gargolito@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Every single authoritarian in history has fallen out faded away. Every single one. Will you and/or I see it? Probably not, although I hope that we are close to a cusp in history. The pendulum has been artificially pushed to the right, the current status has been built on lies and deceit - it can't be sustained.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 16 hours ago

Yeah again: I don't care if trump will fall twenty years or even a single day after I die because I'll be dead.

Also, while you're in the mood of trying to make the world not look that bad: global warming as it was will not destroy the world, we're a thing sliver, bacteria if you will, in the surface of this world. Earth doesn't give a shit. What will die though, in a long and painful struggle to the end, is Humanity and you and I will still be there to witness that.

And just to make it clear, this is how it was about 5 years ago. Things have progressively gotten worse ever since. Instead of less CO2, we've produced more CO2 than ever because fuck humanity, I want my stocks to soar!

It has already started and warming is just going much faster than expected. Expect more droughts, less water, more food scarcity, soon the wars over the last few resources and livable patches of land will start and soon enough we'll all be fucked because nobody could be bothered to actually work on a real solution

So yeah, be it through trump and WWIII or climate change, we're all fucked.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

The Roman empire still has a long lasting legacy to this day. There is a reason so many countries have the eagle on their standard. And where do you think the month August comes from? The empire as a whole is looked upon fondly in history, despite being one built from conquest and authoritarian rule, with its leaders still praised to this day.

I really don't think your take on the lasting effects of authoritarianism matches with reality.

[–] Lembot_0001@lemm.ee 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Only if they are stupid enough to start a war. Internationally peaceful fascists tend to rule until they are bored or die from old age.

[–] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The intersection of people who become fascist and people who don't want to declare war is small

[–] StJohnMcCrae@slrpnk.net 6 points 6 days ago

Argentina and Spain are good examples. Peron and Franco organized ratlines for Nazis fleeing the Nuremberg trials.

[–] PurpleTentacle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

And that sample size is pretty small. I wouldn't count on the US losing a war.

[–] Overspark@feddit.nl 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well the trade war isn't going great for them...

[–] Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

America wouldnt come off very well in a 1v1 with China tbh I doubt either side would win but Alas.

[–] StJohnMcCrae@slrpnk.net 0 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

How so? China has a manpower advantage, but they don't have the capability to project that advantage beyond the mainland/local territorial waters. In what way would America not "come off well", when the enemy has no credible way of actually getting to us, and no way of supporting it's economy without international trade? Are they going to island hop from one American defensive position to the next, all the way across the Pacific, while also securing shipping lanes through the Indian ocean for the oil to make that possible?

Sounds like a bad time - for them.

[–] Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Im talking about the actual conflict zone, I dont think either side would be able to actually take ground in the others homeland but rather the militaries of both powers would maul eachother quite badly to a stalemate.

[–] StJohnMcCrae@slrpnk.net 0 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

A stalemate where China is locked into its territorial waters and has to rebuild its military while suffering a military blockade, medium and long range bombardment - while America retains freedom of navigation and inter-continental trade?

Doesn't sound like a stalemate to me. It sounds like a slow death. China is even more reliant on trade than we are and in a hot war, they lose the majority of their trading partners.

What does America lose?

[–] clearedtoland@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Tired as Orwellian comparisons are, it’s hard to ignore how much this reeks of a Ministry of Truth.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's only a conspiracy if they're not really out to get you.

[–] unconsciousvoidling@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

These mentally unstable people are definitely out to get a lot of us. The domestic terrorists are in charge.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I posit the central flaw is the engagement system, which was AI driven long before LLM/diffusion was public. The slop is made because it sells in that screwed up, toxic feed.

If engagement-driven social media doesn't die in fire, the human race will.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Perfect for the AI Jesus crowd.

[–] drzoidberg@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I dunno what AI is, do you mean A1 Jesus crowd?

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 8 points 1 week ago

Some delicious A1.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago

That story had such a two Corinthians vibe to it!

Praise be to shrimp Jesus.

[–] beejjorgensen@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 1 week ago

Musk running illegal generators at his A1 farm... Coincidence?

[–] ScrambledEggs@lazysoci.al 9 points 1 week ago

Of course it's AI. It doesn't happen in real life
