They should have put the images side by side in the article instead of only linking to X (where they may even disappear).

Before Editing After Editing 
Looks like we’re going to end up a crossover of North Korea and Russia.
All because conservatives hate America and enough others don’t give enough of a fuck to stop conservatives from destroying America.
OH MY GOD THERE ARE BEARS SHITTING IN THE WOODS!
Today, German public broadcasting morning show was showing a supposed video of the one recently shot dead, supposedly kicking ICE cars and cursing at them and then being wrestled to the ground, and supposedly escaping afterwards. The movement looked strange to me, which made me suspect AI.
Can anyone confirm whether such a video is in circulation and the validity of it?
I most certainly wouldn’t be surprised if it were AI generated.
I think that video was confirmed
I had written to them, and they pointed to a CNN source, which mentioned another video from a different angle, and the family confirmed it was them in the video. So yeah, seems like it was valid.
I didn’t actually see it myself, but I heard a lot of people thought it looked AI at first and that it was genuine (alternate angles and stuff like you said). It’s good to check up on it (sounds like you actually put the effort in) so we can try to keep our facts straight, as hard as that is these days.
Did we not already know this? Really?
It’s ok, I never trusted any audio/video/images from this administration in the first place.
You sure? That AI video Trump made where he shat on the American public seemed convincing enough…
That was real video but they cut out the diaper he was emptying.
Or the one with him and some soccer asshole freestyling a soccer ball in the oval office. Guy can barely walk down a ramp and he’s shitposting hackysack kicking a soccer ball.
I’m getting a lot of miles out of Orwell these days.
This process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound-tracks, cartoons, photographs – to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance. Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct, nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary.
- 1984
Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date
The record was corrected?
You should actually read the book, or at least that part of the chapter.
Edit: you can read the context, and the entirety of the book, for free here or at Project Gutenberg.
Yes, it was corrected to what the party wanted it to have been. It really is a good book, you should give it at least a once over.
Stop what you’re doing and read 1984 now.
My partner was fake edited in one of the DHS videos in Portland! He was wearing a moth man costume and dancing to EDM at the ICE center and they put fake smoke and filters over it to make him look scary lol… Absolutely ridiculous.
FYI, HE WAS SURROUNDED BY OTHER COSTUMES DANCING! This was peak frog erra.
Here is what he ACTUALLY looked like lol
Omg you have to warn us before posting scary leftists
“The Radical Lefttm are allied with the “Mothman,” known infamously for being behind the 9/11 attacks on the twin towers and the Oklahoma City bombing, among others. Make America Safe Again. Join ICE today, or perish tomorrow!”
I hear it’s allied with Totoro and Popeye, the child rapists.
Would you like to know more?
I would frame that as a token of honor! How weak of them lol
Moth men, moth men, moth moth moth, men men!

Main reason is money. They found a hype inducing thing and circle hyped it. Nvidia especially.
This is just a side-effect. A nasty one.
Disclaimer: “AI” is not completely useless.
And for the surveillance and defense contracts.
palinitir used to “look for targets, biased” to monitor or kill.
its useful for propaganda, because googles video AI is very hard to tell unless you have been exposed to ai videos for a while. and Right wingers are less likely to tell apart propaganda AI and real news.
What’s new?
Non-AI (but not primary) source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_images_in_the_Soviet_Union
Came here specifically for this. Not disappointed.

Not the ai overview
deleted by creator
It’s just the ai overview is very prone to error. Not a great teaching tool. Wikipedia is generally better sourced than the ai overview.
This one isn’t horrible, but you can see in the top right corner one of the sources used was facebook
What the ai shows as sources is also inaccurate. It’s what the AI thinks the source is, not necessarily the actual source of information.
Every time I learn something new about ai it gets just a little bit worse
The US government and everyone that stands behind it, they want to make those who fight against ICE look like dangerous creatures that roam the Earth and must be stopped. They want to look like they’re in total control, by making these fighters look desperate for their lives when they are arrested, by celebrating whenever one of them is killed. But most importantly, they want us to fight each other, so that we forget who is our true opponent on what is basically a war on our rights as human beings.
“It’s just a meme,” has the same energy as a confronted schoolyard bully, and apparently that’s just accepted etiquette now :/
Ive seen the same sentiment on Lemmy. Manipulative/misleading articles or even straight up misinformation is posted, and when I bring it up, OP’s response is “I don’t care.” As long as it’s the right ideology, it’s alright; and mods didn’t disagree.
…We’re so screwed, aren’t we? And by “we” I mean the internet. It’s nice to think of the Fediverse an oasis from all this, but it engineered in the same structural issues commercial social media has, I think.
„It‘s just a meme“ was proven false when Americans voted Trump for the first time „as a meme“. Yes, I remember many of them claiming they did that ironically the first time. Of course that was a lie and they stopped pretending to be just useful idiots the second time around. They‘re simply nasty people.
The horrible truth is many of the people who have the right opinion got there in the same stupid flawed ways as people who have the wrong opinion, and are deep down no better, but just accidentally appear to be so. These people just want what they want, they don’t care if it makes sense, they don’t care about validating their beliefs against reality or having logical arguments for their beliefs. They don’t want to be know truth, they want what they already believe to be truth.
The only good people are people who are brave enough to actively test their beliefs and earnestly question their own ideology (and accept that they even have one).
Almost no one does this. People often even say they “don’t have an ideology”. Its convenient, if you have no belief system there is nothing to question.
Yeah I agree. I think the only refinement I’d add to this statement is that such people aren’t even necessarily located in “good” territory. They have a velocity in the direction of goodness, but their position may still be in bad territory. And likewise there are people who are in good territory but have a velocity in the direction of bad territory. What a complicated world…
I mean, I’ve interacted with someone with active anti-semitic beliefs in a dedicated debate space who eventually changed his views to “Well, its not the Jews fault that they got into finance. They just kind of got funneled into that.” So absolutely people with shitty views can evolve in the right direction. I respect that a million times more than someone who is morally lucky and never budges.
And example of the opposite would be someone who adopts progressive stances of their time and never evolved from there or have selective self serving progressive blinders. “LGB w/o the T”, rainbow capitalists, Red-brown alliance types, etc.
Yeah, I respect them more for sure. It gets tricky if I’m like, appointing someone for a one year period or something though, then I have to consider both the position and velocity.
Since when have they been not using image manipulation for propaganda?
Sure it’s way easier now, but it’s not like manipulating images is a new tactic.

You should always assume that if a way to lie to you exists, politicians and marketing will use it to lie to you. I don’t understand why people give them chance after chance to find a lie that works by exposing their eyes and ears to those attempts. You realize they would be content to enslave you, right? We didn’t ‘solve’ slavery for all time, just until they figure out how to enslave us again.
This is the part where they do the thing they’re about to start accusing others of also doing.
