I believe this is actually one of the main objectives of gen AI. Since anyone can now generate believable fake content about anyone and anything, any politician or billionaire can dismiss legit evidence as generated by AI. Only official sources will be considered trustworthy and they'll say whatever is in the oligarchs' best interests.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

I've said it often, that the reason you see the biggest supporters of GenAI being right wingers and their proxies is because they know they can never compete on facts and truth, so rather than changing what they are.. they are gonna use GenAI to change reality itself for all their idiotic supporters.

This is why Sam Altman was so keen for people to use him in Sora clips. He can claim that literally any compromising photo or video of him is just AI generated. It's the boy who cried wolf, except the boy wants people to stop believing him.

I feel like some people here are missing the joke. The point is yes it's a very convincing AI photo. The fact that people believe it's real shows why we need AI regulations.

You had me until I zoomed on the face. He looks like he's not regularly sundowning.

So it must be an old picture.

I suspect he wouldn't be shuffling around behind a $30 walmart/amazon generic walker. They'd have an aide at his sides or push him around in a wheelchair with a fake cast on his foot.

I'd say it's a relatively decent looking fake.

[-] lordbritishbusiness@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Yeah, they'd wheel him around behind the scenes in a golden wheelchair and only have him sitting. They'd never risk this photo in real life.

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 51 points 2 days ago

You can tell it's fake because it's not a gold, jewel-encrusted walker

[-] GenosseFlosse@feddit.org 9 points 2 days ago

Also not bigly enough!

I believe that the current republican plan is to run the clock out.

They will not release un-redacted Epstein files until after Donald Trump dies.

[-] chaogomu@lemmy.world 84 points 3 days ago

That's because Trump wasn't a client, or even a business partner, he was Epstein's friendly competitor. Trump ran his own underage model trafficking ring.

[-] AuroraZzz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I always assumed Trump was using the beauty pageants to traffic girls to Epsteins island. Trump being a competitor to Epsteins is a good theory too

[-] chaogomu@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Epstein got most of his victims through MC2 Model Management, a fake agency set up by a French pedo billionaire named Brunel.

Now, the feeder agency for the girls was a Ukrainian agency, also set up by Brunel, called Mother 1.

This feeder agency supplied girls to Trump Model Management, MC2, and a third agency called ID, or Identity Modeling.

ID, founded in the early to mid 90s, was operated by a man named Paolo Zampolli, he was in charge of the fake visas, and was hired by Trump to become the head of Trump international development. He's currently at the UN, appointed by Trump.

All of this, except ID, was set up after Trump's main source of underage girls was forced out of his own modeling agency, John Casablancas of Elite Model Management. (1998)

Trump only bought the beauty pageants because he hosted a contest with Casablancas called Look of the Year. (1992) This was Casablancas' main way of finding new girls to rape. Because competitive girls were more "willing". Girls as young as 13 or 14.

Casablancas even bragged about it in a 1988 New Yorker Magazine cover story titled "Girl Crazy". It was gross.

Trump was also mentioned in that issue, a bit later on in another article. He and Casablancas were already moving in the same social circle, but after that article became fast friends.

I don't actually know when Epstein joined in, but he was a bit player until he had MC2 to draw on.

[-] titanicx@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 days ago

Why not both?

[-] chaogomu@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

He certainly attended Epstein parties, but he also held his own underage sex parties.

This link talks about it more, and has an interview from Luther Campbell, AKA Uncle Luke of 2 Live Crew about attending, and fleeing, from such a party.

As an added bonus, here's the history of Trump and John Casablancas.

Trump was part of the child sex trafficking scene before Epstein was.

[-] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

He was certainly sampling the goods, so to speak.

100%, this is the plan. The only thing Republicans are honestly worried about right now is if Trump dies before his term is over, which is why so many are already jumping ship and why there's so much contention in the party right now. A LOT of republicans are about to lose seats, lose face and lose power, and the only thing keeping them from also facing legal prosecution is that Trump gives pardons the way he passes gas. Often and without care, yet nobody talks about it.

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

Trump is bad enough that no one should need to make anything up about him.

[-] miasmati@lemmings.world 9 points 2 days ago

No, spread it around. Let his followers believe it so that he loses influence with them.

This is a war, fight dirty.

[-] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

No thanks. In trying to get rid of fascists and war criminals, not looking to become one of them .

[-] miasmati@lemmings.world 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Yeah see they're not fascists and war criminals because they understand publicity.

They're fascists and war criminals because of their political ideology and committing war crimes.

You however seem to want to protect and enable them, so I'd say you're already pretty far on the road to being one of them.

[-] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 hours ago

If you act like a Nazi, you're a Nazi.

[-] Nalivai@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

They go low we go high, huh? I bet that will work

[-] tlmcleod@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

Dunno, I'm pretty high right now. Seems to be working

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

The worst thing you can do for a cause you care about is to lie about it. That's a Trump move.

In other news, I’ve signed an executive order that states Donald Trump doesn’t get to eat anymore. This is valid and legal, as my executive order says it is valid and legal.

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 days ago

Pfft, rookie executive ordering right here. I've just signed a very cool and very legal executive order stating that the orange child rapist should be beaten with a baseball bat every hour on the hour.

When do "Couchfucker '26" hats go on sale?

[-] abbiistabbii 17 points 2 days ago

This kinda thing is the thing people were warning about.

[-] DillDough@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 days ago

Gee if only a certain someone didn't just ban any form of regulation on AI even down to the state level.

[-] pupbiru@aussie.zone 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

huh i swear the republicans were all about… what was it… states… lefts? privileges?… hmmm… can’t be states rights: that would be hypocritical as fuck

[-] Quexotic@infosec.pub 6 points 2 days ago

I mean, it's been too late for some time now.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 34 points 3 days ago

nobody will be chanting ai slop on this blessed day

So what happens if a state regulates AI anyway? It's like in EU where if a country refuses they will say "bad country! bad!" and maybe lose some funds?

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

Historically, they would withhold funds, and grants. They could crack down in federal enforcement of illegal substances. The executive department isn't completely without teeth.

In the current climate, they could probably sue the states for something then have the SOCTUS make it illegal and start hauling off state officials.
