Who would have ever expected this behavior from someone called “his holiness”

Real “what the fuck” hours

    Reddit was having a real normal one about this yesterday.

    Just about everyone was calling it a China Deepfake.

    This confirms in my mind the point of the deepfake buzz was to prime the West to excuse real videos as fake.

      Surprising that an 89 year old CIA employee is this much of a load bearing figure in the liberal ego that they have to revert their brain chemistry to that of superstitious medieval villagers to defend him. It can't be that he's just old and losing it or a little creepy, it has to be sorcery from the perfidious orient.

      I just scanned through the one on r/news for as long as I could tolerate and I couldn't find any comments that said that

        Not the latest report, those are confirming it. The reports are based on things which were published online prior, which were derided as fake.

      Lol yeah the last week of deepfake propaganda as if these so called journalists never heard of photoshop before. But you know, Trump. Photos that were released well before Trump was actually arrested.

      Libs were already photoshopping Trump in prison stuff when they were impeaching him for .... not arming Nazis in Ukraine, although he tore up all the safeguards and treaties that kept the peace since we were casually detonating 5 Megaton+ nukes as a flex.

      Oh shit. Then the algorithm media just has to be good enough to plant doubt. It doesn't have to advance to replace anything, it just has to make people disengage.

      Just wait until we get to the "actually it's good to french kiss children" phase and :reddit-logo: brings back r/jailbait to "epicly own Winnie the Pooh."
