So… Trump praises Allah and the Iranians defend Jesus. Definitely did not have that on my 2026 bingo card.
You're aware that Jesus features in the Quran as well as the Bible, right...? Highly respected figure in Islam, not at all surprising that Iran would be defending him.
Yes, I’m quite aware that the background is that after being visited by the archangel Gabriel and explained that basically the Christians did not understood Jesus message, Muhammad created Islam, hence being known as “the true prophet”. I’m also aware that as a figure, Jesus has been “whitened” to the image of Zeus to please Europeans of that time. That doesn’t prevent him of bring the symbol of the Catholic religion.
I mean if anything it would be to please the Romans, but anyway the "whiteness" of Jesus wasn't a thing that occurred all at once. It was slow and over hundreds of years. Not that strange to think illiterate medieval peasants that never traveled more than 20km from their birthplace weren't nuanced in all the "races" of the world or had a good understanding of geography. Of course they would imagine that this religious figure looked like them
Allah is God. Why do so many people not know that?
Yeah if I understand correctly Allah is just a contraction of "Al Illah" which means "the god".
I love the history of the emergence of monotheism, it was very gradual and often the one god had to cohabit with lesser deities for centuries before they fully took over. Interestingly, Yahweh was in competition for some time with other warrior storm gods, including Belial and Baal which were ultimately demonized to the highest degree to prevent them coming back.
I’m just happy we have finally found such a productive use of AI.
All the job loss was really worth it for this.
And the destruction of our environment and water supply too
And the spike in RAM, SSD, HDD and GPU prices
can you imagine being a historian having to study, characterize, and teach these clips to students.
like instead of WW2 tanks videos, and WW1 trench videos, we will teach these, and the context
They'll probably omit this to make it boring on purpose. There was a ton of hilarious and awesome stuff in newspapers in the early 20th century.
crazy how that other doctor comes out of nowhere and hits doctor trump
Begun, the Meme Wars have.
I'm really fascinated by those tweets by the iranian embassies: The USA is waging war against Iran and the Iranians are allowed to spread their own war propaganda with their official accounts on US platforms.
first of all, it's a special military operation. So jot that down.
Practically everybody in the Trump administration has referred to it as a "war." Just because congress lacks the balls to assert its own authority, that doesn't make this less of a war.
But yes, "special military operation" -- noted.
The true AI wars have begun.
I love how anticlimatic the content of the word is in that case X)
The one where the guy on the table is jeffery epstein is better.
"JESUS FROM THE TOP ROPE! BY GAWD HE HAD A FAMILY!"
Good. Do his family next.
Even Iran uses white Jesus? C'mon.
They're making these for a western audience, so yes.
... Have you seen middle eastern people?
Yeah, I have. Not a chance they are that caucasian white. Remember we are talking about 2k years ago, without all the intermixing of races and with people spending a lot of time under the sun.
According to the bible Jesus did spend plenty time under the sun either working or preaching. No way he was that white.
To be fair, this fictional character could be purple and it would still be fine with me.
I notice something new every loop.
Big fan of Trump still having on suit pants and black shoes under the robes.
And he hulked out so hard he grew a belt.
It would be nice touch if Trumps shoes would have flown off.
That's actually based af. The only thing it's missing is changing the patient to be Epstein
And people claim there is no good use case for AI...
I’m still not convinced that either of these are good uses….
What scares me is that we once had to read political platforms to elect someone and to look to the newspapers or evening news to help us stay informed. And as technology progressed, we have found dumber and dumber reasons to form opinions about global events - we don’t like someone’s voice, or they wore the wrong outfit, or the building looks shabby. And now we enter a world where we are going to judge people and events based on fabricated material, which I find terrifying.
People were always this dumb. There are just more of us.
TLDR; please summarize in the form of AI video
And now we enter a world where we are going to judge people and events based on fabricated material, which I find terrifying.
If it's something they choose to share themselves, directly linked to their name, I think it's fair to judge them on that.
wtf I love Iran now.
It's interesting to think that, if anyone was to be smited, my blaspheming rear would be far down the list.
"THIS is how you do a Red Cross"
So is part of the rapture fantasy that you have to deify an evil lunatic to lure Jesus out of his hidey hole to flip tables and take names?
What did Jon Stewart do to Trump?
Jesus would propably not hate this
Notorious table flipper, he
