    I believe this is actually one of the main objectives of gen AI. Since anyone can now generate believable fake content about anyone and anything, any politician or billionaire can dismiss legit evidence as generated by AI. Only official sources will be considered trustworthy and they’ll say whatever is in the oligarchs’ best interests.

      I’ve said it often, that the reason you see the biggest supporters of GenAI being right wingers and their proxies is because they know they can never compete on facts and truth, so rather than changing what they are… they are gonna use GenAI to change reality itself for all their idiotic supporters.

      This is why Sam Altman was so keen for people to use him in Sora clips. He can claim that literally any compromising photo or video of him is just AI generated. It’s the boy who cried wolf, except the boy wants people to stop believing him.

      I suspect he wouldn’t be shuffling around behind a $30 walmart/amazon generic walker. They’d have an aide at his sides or push him around in a wheelchair with a fake cast on his foot.

      I’d say it’s a relatively decent looking fake.

      Snopes is getting weak. Remember when we used to have to read through paragraphs of repetitive details before they ever got to the point?

      That one was refreshingly quick & to-the-point.

      That’s because Trump wasn’t a client, or even a business partner, he was Epstein’s friendly competitor. Trump ran his own underage model trafficking ring.

          Epstein got most of his victims through MC2 Model Management, a fake agency set up by a French pedo billionaire named Brunel.

          Now, the feeder agency for the girls was a Ukrainian agency, also set up by Brunel, called Mother 1.

          This feeder agency supplied girls to Trump Model Management, MC2, and a third agency called ID, or Identity Modeling.

          ID, founded in the early to mid 90s, was operated by a man named Paolo Zampolli, he was in charge of the fake visas, and was hired by Trump to become the head of Trump international development. He’s currently at the UN, appointed by Trump.

          All of this, except ID, was set up after Trump’s main source of underage girls was forced out of his own modeling agency, John Casablancas of Elite Model Management. (1998)

          Trump only bought the beauty pageants because he hosted a contest with Casablancas called Look of the Year. (1992) This was Casablancas’ main way of finding new girls to rape. Because competitive girls were more “willing”. Girls as young as 13 or 14.

          Casablancas even bragged about it in a 1988 New Yorker Magazine cover story titled “Girl Crazy”. It was gross.

          Trump was also mentioned in that issue, a bit later on in another article. He and Casablancas were already moving in the same social circle, but after that article became fast friends.

          I don’t actually know when Epstein joined in, but he was a bit player until he had MC2 to draw on.

        That’s the thing that I don’t get. We know he’s a disgusting rapist creep. We know he also “likes ‘‘em young”.

        The only thing shocking about when he said Epstein likes ‘em young is Trump thinks there’s a difference between 13 and 15.

      100%, this is the plan. The only thing Republicans are honestly worried about right now is if Trump dies before his term is over, which is why so many are already jumping ship and why there’s so much contention in the party right now. A LOT of republicans are about to lose seats, lose face and lose power, and the only thing keeping them from also facing legal prosecution is that Trump gives pardons the way he passes gas. Often and without care, yet nobody talks about it.

    The walker legs work fine at first, but I’m getting a headache staring at them because they’re uncanny. Also, funny that the AI “knows” the rear legs should have tennis balls, so it colored the feet that way.

    I actually bought this for a minute because his dementia is causing visible issues with his stride. Watch his swing his right leg in a semi-circle. Doctors say that’s a clear sign.

        No the tennis balls slide better on hard floors. The rubber feet are usually still under the tennis balls.

        Source: I had old relatives who lived in nursing homes with these. They got the tennis balls on day one with the walker.

      Clearest reasons:

      Cheap $30 walker

      Not his current face structure. he hasn’t looked like that since before 2019

      Exit sign while blurred doesn’t read exit.

      The photo is very potato, while the bokeh is clearly strong. You don’t get that depth of field at 15 ft on a cell phone. you’d need an slr and a telephoto, which he clearly would not allow

      carpet pattern is at a odd angle. the next pattern back is square. the one at the base of the walker is several inches deviated between the two wheels.

      no leg braces, legs are too trim

      less clear reasons:

      the left door configuration is screwy, if you close or open the two visible doors in the picture, you’ll have trouble making their geometry fit with what would work in the hallway/office shape. the open on the left has a pushbar, but the right side has a handle. they don’t lineup, if this is an extended hall and that’s an open office on the right, it’s covering up a LOT more of the hall than it should perspective wise.

      They’d have him in a chair, or walking with people as aids to hide it.

      The faces of the people in the background give it away for me. You would also expect to be able to read the exit sign above the door. The arm of the guy who’s on the right also looks deformed. Oh, and there’s a weird part on the carpet. It looks like it’s supposed to be a shadow but there’s shadows on top of it.

        Most everything you’re describing looks like ISO/compression noise. Or (with faces/the exit sign) out-of-focus background.

        …An issue is that most social media users have become accustomed to recompressed potato JPEGs, and that just happens to ‘hide’ artifacts quite well.

      Historically, they would withhold funds, and grants. They could crack down in federal enforcement of illegal substances. The executive department isn’t completely without teeth.

      In the current climate, they could probably sue the states for something then have the SOCTUS make it illegal and start hauling off state officials.
