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

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

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

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

Why does this screenshot looks like from a cheap porn?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

That's just how MAGA likes their women.

Are you starting an aneurysm?

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours 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.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours 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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago (1 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

Every authoritarian in history has been a person, and all people eventually die. It’s a good thing corporations aren’t people, cuz it could get really wild with Zorg Industries or MomCorp running things their way with the corporation staying in power even after leadership dies out.

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 16 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

We just need to increase the tariffs to prevent the fentanyl from being imported. Boom - Trade war and drug war won.

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours 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?

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

AI is a two edged street.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 day ago

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

AI is a two edged street.

Brilliant. 🤣

[–] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago

He's streets ahead

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

These already exist without AI.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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.

'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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

I think you mean anecdotes my friend

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] unconsciousvoidling 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Perfect for the AI Jesus crowd.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Some delicious A1.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

That story had such a two Corinthians vibe to it!

[–] vaultdweller013 4 points 1 day ago

Praise be to shrimp Jesus.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

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