Trump's video on Kirk appears to be AI(contested in comments) (apnews.com)

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 feel like we should've seen this coming; if/when he kicks the bucket, they're gonna use AI to keep the cult of personality going for as long as they can.

Can you imagine if he also died today and that's why they had to use AI

Weekends at Uncle Sam's.

This White House leaks worse than Trump's asshole. If he died, there's a better then small chance that staffers would accidentally invite a journalist to their Signal chat about it. It's just not something they can keep secret.

I am inclined to agree.

But I bet they'd try to sell the lie anyway.

This is why the overwhelming majority of conspiracy theories are likely false. People often can't even keep a secret about a crime they themselves committed. A whole group of people keeping a complete lid on something like that for any large length of time isn't very believable.

This right here.

I've recently been seeing a lot more of what I've heard called Blue Anon. I am seeing it get argued against. Shit could get real ugly if it takes hold.

I'm having to repeatedly remind my family to check sources, think critically, and not jump to conclusions.

It's imperative we remain skeptical and analytical.

The movie was named just "Dave" and it stars Sigourney Weaver and Kevin Kline.

[–] forrgott@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago

Hmm, I know the movie. But I must disagree with the comparison.

The movie "Dave" is definitely worth watching, though!

I also highly recommend "Wag the Dog", starring Dustin Hoffman and Robert de Niro.
