Trump delivered to us this uncanny video in which he denounces the killing of Kirk and blames the left’s rhetoric as the sole cause of this unfathomable act.

Am I crazy, or is this obviously AI?

    I’m reminded of how the high-resolution footage of Space-X’s landing [attempts] from a few years ago stoked massive waves of paranoia and conspiracy across the internet because nobody had ever seen such modern footage of a spacecraft in motion and most people who saw it thought it was fake.

    People really want to feel like they’ve figured something special out, in a world where media and information is constantly changing and advancing.

      Agreed.

      Though I wouldn’t disparage investigation and ‘figuring things out.’ I’d perhaps rephrase that: “I don’t have much experience with this topic, maybe I should qualifty my certainty,” as a sentiment, seems to have disappeared. The Trump admin is kind of a perfect embodiment of that.


      To be clear, I’m not an expert here either. I’m not a broadcast engineer or anything and would defer to some news source that actually knows what they’re talking about… but I do know just enough Vapoursynth to be dangerous, and have seen what looks like this exact artifacting in way, way too many TV show broadcasts…
