We know
My partner was fake edited in one of the DHS videos in Portland! He was wearing a moth man costume and dancing to EDM at the ICE center and they put fake smoke and filters over it to make him look scary lol… Absolutely ridiculous.
“The Radical Lefttm are allied with the “Mothman,” known infamously for being behind the 9/11 attacks on the twin towers and the Oklahoma City bombing, among others. Make America Safe Again. Join ICE today, or perish tomorrow!”
FYI, HE WAS SURROUNDED BY OTHER COSTUMES DANCING! This was peak frog erra.
Here is what he ACTUALLY looked like lol
I would frame that as a token of honor! How weak of them lol
I’m getting a lot of miles out of Orwell these days.
This process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound-tracks, cartoons, photographs – to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance. Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct, nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary.

“It’s just a meme,” has the same energy as a confronted schoolyard bully, and apparently that’s just accepted etiquette now :/
Ive seen the same sentiment on Lemmy. Manipulative/misleading articles or even straight up misinformation is posted, and when I bring it up, OP’s response is “I don’t care.” As long as it’s the right ideology, it’s alright; and mods didn’t disagree.
…We’re so screwed, aren’t we? And by “we” I mean the internet. It’s nice to think the Fediverse is a refuge from all this, but it engineered in the same structural issues commercial social media has, I think.

Not the ai overview

It’s just the ai overview is very prone to error. Not a great teaching tool. Wikipedia is generally better sourced than the ai overview
What the ai shows as sources is also inaccurate. It’s what the AI thinks the source is, not necessarily the actual source of information.
Every time I learn something new about ai it gets just a little bit worse
I’m godsmacked, I tell ya whhat
I automatically think anything coming from this administration is propaganda bull shit taken from the horror version of Idiocracy.
I would expect breaking “phone gets an update pushed out like an Amber Alert” news if anyone in the administration told the truth
It’s ok, I never trusted any audio/video/images from this administration in the first place.
You sure? That AI video Trump made where he shat on the American public seemed real enough…
Or the one with him and some soccer asshole freestyling a soccer ball in the oval office. Guy cannot walk down a ramp and he’s shitposting hackysack kicking a soccer ball.
That was real video but they cut out the diaper he was emptying.
You should always assume that if a way to lie to you exists, politicians and marketing will use it to lie to you. I don’t understand why people give them chance after chance to find a lie that works by exposing their eyes and ears to those attempts. You realize they would be content to enslave you, right? We didn’t ‘solve’ slavery for all time, just until they figure out how to enslave us again.
This is the main reason AI is being pushed into everything.
its useful for propaganda, because googles video AI is very hard to tell unless you have been exposed to ai videos for a while. and Right wingers are less likely to tell apart propaganda AI and real news.
Main reason is money. They found a hype inducing thing and circle hyped it. Nvidia especially.
This is just a side-effect. A nasty one.
Disclaimer: “AI” is not completely useless.
And for the surveillance and defense contracts.
palinitir used to “look for targets, biased” to monitor or kill.
Since when have they been not using image manipulation for propaganda?
Sure it’s way easier now, but it’s not like manipulating images is a new tactic.
