Damn, seeing all those AI generated images being taken at face value just makes me lose my faith in humanity.
These pictures remind me of YouTube thumbnails with fhe style of over emphasized visuals and it makes me wonder if people got accustomed to that style and that makes it easier to pass the BS test.

Given that Facebook’s primary userbase at this point is made up of middle-aged/elderly folk, it isn’t all that surprising to see so much of this slop taken at face value tbh. Still disheartening, though.
Elon ruined Twitter when it was pretty alright. I doubt theres anything he can do for a nation except leach tax payer dollars like he already does.
I never tweeted myself but I liked to follow a couple of local news outlets and out local government agencies for public notices and emergencies. I gave up when stuff from Elon and a bunch of right wing stuff populated my feed. I rarely saw anything of interest. I started using Facebook for that. At least the local stuff pops up in addition to the crazy stuff.
Well at least using Facebook (for now) doesnt come with a side of NASA defunding.
Megaviral… sounds like idiocracy…
I have a question about this and I hope I’m able to ask it correctly the way it’s sitting in my head.
I know throughout history there have been strongmen who come to power, promise the world, and don’t deliver.
I also know about propaganda and its role in the above scenario.
My question is - if these images are seen by enough people who truly believe what they say - and they’re poor, maybe older, not in a great place overall, etc, and they voted Trump because they believe this…shit….what happens when they don’t deliver?
If they’re expecting homes and help and a magic, simple solution to all of their problems that never delivers, what happens not only to them psychologically, but also what bigger impact will their reactions have on the country as a whole?
In the US, I’m not so optimistic we’ll have that moment given the past 8 or so years. There will never be a realization that the Emperor has no clothes but the help will still never arrive. How long can that be sustained, and what happens when it can’t?
I hope that made sense and I apologize if it doesn’t.
Can’t wait for him to try and bully some of the big suppliers. What … you want how much money for a prototype… That will work wonders for the quality.
Maybe defense corporations will start selling devices with paywalled options or subscription.
Somehow the ai made his face more uncomfortable to look at
