Fuck blue MAGA. They caused Trump and modern Russia with their Anti-communist shit.

We’re already had a several action movies come out where the plot is terrorists using deepfakes to make the US look bad.

Of course like always, every accusation is a confession.

    Maybe I’m just being an arsonist but I think the “post-truth” paradigm might get enough to people realise that simply telling the truth doesn’t do anything because liberal capitalist regimes don’t actually care. The number of smart left leaning people getting caught in the the Goebbels big lie trap is astounding. We should not be trying too hard to prove our point and just use our knowledge of the truth for revolutionary action. Maybe deepfakes will make them give up debating and start organising

      There is no arena of evidence that we can compete in. The only thing that is undeniable is power relations. The bulk of our recruitment will be in-person, and will rely heavily on the few things that can’t be denied in a conceptualization of the world.

    Deepfakes were always one of the scariest parts of modern technology. “Freedom of the press is the privilege of those who own one”, and all that follows from this.

    I fear that the only durable solution is for the technological tower to collapse such that it is no longer possible to gather the amount of energy and rare metals required to run generative AI. Maybe it’s a part of me that just wants the internet from the 2000s back, but I think there’s a lot we could do for everyone’s quality of life if the profit motive was no longer able to be applied to information technology.
