I’m sure that McConnell was a great listener that day.

        I sincerely doubt that anyone lying for the conservative party has the wherewithal to create a convincing AI video of Mitch McConnell.

        Thinking about; no it shouldn’t be that difficult to create an AI video of a man with 1000’s of hours in footage of him publically available. I still don’t think this admin could pull it off.

            Sorry, it wasn’t my intent to do either — I am anticipating their usage of AI for something; I just don’t see it being something like this. These circumstances are much more easily obfuscated through things like HIPAA/ privacy demands/ his wife leaving for China while having power of attorney (if there isn’t a foreign espionage case there I don’t know what to say). Why risk a spurring on a legitimate conversation by falsifying easily disproved evidence? Why not wait and try to do that as like some last ditch effort to wring a couple more days out?

            I would be more suspicious of pictures or edited videos on other topics. Like, unironically some Stalin-esque ‘delete people from pictures’ stuff. Not necessarily on the same level as Stalin, I don’t think it’s possible to totally delete people from the current information ecosystem. I do think it’s absolutely possible to take real govt footage, like the footage from aircraft thermal optics, edit that a little bit; boom, aliens. Or say, real pictures of Epstein and the other pedophile elite; seems like a good way to legitimize Trump while demonizing his enemies.
