This is not slop, this is political
misinformationdisinformation. Call it what it is.Slop is annoying, but it’s just AI generated spam. This is much more purposeful and insidious. The tools you used to make it are irrelevant.
Disinformation. Misinformation is when it’s unintentional.
Right, that’s more accurate.
It’s both. Slop can be meaningless drivel or deliberate misinformation.
As much as I hate to use this term because of the most prominent person associated with it:
This literally is an infowar, this is an actual psyop.
Targetted and fairly convincing mis and disinformation deployed at exactly the moment it would generate the most chaos and distrust in your own ability to evaluate reality?
Yeah. Yeah.
Thats a psyop, that is what an actual psyop is.
If they can take something like “woke” and use it to mean something bad, we can take infowars and use it for something good (and correct/accurate). Make that usage of the word the default when people hear it, not the other thing.
Misinformation is too nice of a word.
Yup. Seems quite ragebaity.
hence disinformation, which intentional form of misinformation designed to manipulate the views of the viewers/ or in other situations to give false info to illicit a certain response. misinformation is just ignorant false info being presented with no malice. alot of news media confuse between the 2, when in fact it almost always disinformation.
This is actually pretty scary because they can just put their enemies in the videos to justify arresting people they don’t like
That’s a lot of work for something they can do already
Not much different than grabbing the neighbors and telling them to say a few statements as witnesses, false or true. A new spin on an old game.
A new spin with far more reach.
True I mean without due process nothing will matter
If they can’t differentiate between Ai Slop and reality, maybe we should start generating videos of ICE terrorizing Maga people.
They don’t care. They probably convince themselves its based on real antifa videos
Fake videos and fake comments pushing us to the edge
Russian psyops
The American right are nasty enough to do this all by themselves.
While you are not wrong, I think the vast majority of them easily fall for that kind of thing.
The sooner you realize that the call is coming from inside the house, the better. We’re dealing with a revived KKK and a government that openly supports them. These people are very capable of running their own psyops.
It doesn’t have to be one or the other.
I fear it could be something even more dubious than that.
A marketing campaign for an American company with a foothold in the Whitehouse.
Trump supporters making shit up and constantly lying?
next you’re gonna tell me the sky is blue
Well, sometimes, it’s white, red, or black.
I never have to wonder what the Nazis in Germany would have done with modern technology. I wish I didn’t know.
Human psychology is the same no matter the tech.
It just makes it easier.
And deadlier.

I see people daily due to living in a city and it only makes me hate them more.
But equally of course!
Right! Living in a city grows your disdain for all of humanity. But not any particular race.
It’s not just the city. I’ve moved to two small villages that are louder and more obnoxious than the city. It’s our culture and the devaluation of humanity.
Yeah, true, I’m not racist and I think being in multicultural environments since childhood was basically what did it, international boarding school, city with big international population, etc.
This has to be what trump is seeing over on Truth Social that’s got him thinking cities are burning from protests, or at least that could be what his advisors are showing
How many AI videos of them eating the dogs are there?
Fuuuuck, gaslighting the gaslighter in chief. This is how humanity ends. All bc reality has become trapped within an endless circle of AI generated gaslighting and fuckery thanks to these idiots.
What’s wild about this is that people predicted AI would be used for nefarious purposes, but generally in the form of like, showing your opponents doing crimes. But here it’s being used to show their own side doing crimes while the other side is only made to look “cringy” or more like a stereotype.
It really speaks to the utter depravity of the US right that, given a machine that can generate any video of anything they could imagine, this is what they do. These people are utterly incompatible with any kind of free or even functional society, and I really don’t know what could ever be done fix them or their culture.
If they instead made convincing AI generated videos of some imaginary leftists going first and starting a revolution, then it might not have the intended effect.
Manufacturing consent 3.0
Say it ain’t so! Not James Woods! Fuck, this time line sucks…I want a different one 😤
He’s been a right-wing asshole for a long time, unfortunately.
Maybe I’ll regret asking, but what could “haiku-level brilliant” even mean?
Typical MAGA astonishment at 17 syllables.
I’m convinced AI content generation was created with the sole intent of manufacturing outrage material for gullible idiots.
because the rate at which these technophobic illiterates have adopted AI, and expertly use it to generate bullshit, is too high to be otherwise plausible.
Yeah, no doubt. My mother got radicalised by Facebook over the years. It went from cute dog and cat things to “harmless” conspiracy theories (think bigfoot), culminating in fucking her with QAnon propaganda indoctrination. Last I checked up on her, there’s machine generated rubbish all over her feed. She’s beyond saving at this point. Suppose she was always primed for this kind of thing, being pro-homeopathy anti-vaccine person.
She doesn’t question the machine generated content at all, and I saw that if someone points it out, which a scarce few have done, she just justifies it with “well it could be real, this kind of thing does happen.”
At this point I don’t think it matters if this technofascism was a knowing plan, or an unfortunate series of events that by themselves seemed justifiable to the people making the decisions, but it doesn’t really matter. We’re here now. They’re not only trying, but succeeding in coercing governments and undermining democracy.
real sad that she’d throw away all her family and love, for the expense of crazy online conspiracy theories and obsession.
I want off this ride.
‘No worries, we’ll stop at our earliest convenience. Till then, please remain calm and stop struggling so much, it’s off-putting for our other guests.’
And mind the gap
See it
Say it

MAGAts are typically older, so they have less technical knowledge, so they’re more likely to fall for AI slop and conspiracy theories.
I feel like AI generated videos of very active things like protests would be easy to debunk. Just look at the people in the background and point out the people disappearing after moving behind another person, or look for changing faces.
You haven’t seen a lot of Sora 2 videos. Identifiable traits require a pretty careful eye in many videos to spot.
You absolutely can’t even rely on the watermark, since removing that watermark is trivial to the nation-states running disinfo campaigns, and even for end users removal is trivial compared to creating typical public AI video models.
Even that little blur effect people use to get rid of watermarks, sure it’s sora but it could as easily just be a tiktok username, which people remove all the time. So the people who want to believe it, will.
In the article they mention videos with literal AI watermarks being passed around as if they were real. The targets want to believe they are true and will ignore anyone debunking them.
Doesn’t matter how easy it is to debunk. I assume you were around for COVID and Trump’s first term?
