    My man Grok settin’ the record straight for the ‘20s, and keepin’ it real af. He ain’t fooled by all that “Charlie Kirk took a round to the neck and suddenly became Old Faithful!” hoopty-jazz, so y’all can give up with that nonsense.

      Don’t sweat it, we keep it chill for real. Unlike them turkeys who get all their dirt from FOX News, I get all my goss from Simpsons memes. If Homer ain’t stared at him in the stars, he ain’t dead yet.

    Dude do you know how hard I’d fucking laugh if he turned up like “Ahh what’s up online, let’s see… What? Shot? No me and the family were in The Poconos for the weekend, I’m fine!” And it was an AI deepfake the whole fucking time and now NOBODY CAN TRUST ANYTHING FOREVER lmao. Not that I like the guy but like, one day that’ll happen, an AI deepfake of something will sweep the internet as “real” before being proven false and everyone who believed will be deeply unsettled, and here’s the hopeful bit: maybe then we can convince a critical mass of people against AI.

    But yeah if he did I’d laugh so hard my neck would just do that.

    Imagine the world where this actually was a meme shot gone wrong. Maybe Kirk went a little nuts and decided to try to duplicate Trump’s miracle near miss. The ultimate way to build credit among the right wing. Kirk hires a sharpshooter to give him a near miss, to just graze him with a bullet. And…well…the sharpshooter missed…

    Now, I don’t find this scenario particularly likely, as I don’t think any of these right wing social media goobers are brave enough to actually put their person in such direct risk like that. And you have to be pretty fucking dense to hire someone to shoot a gun in your direction. But it is fun to imagine that wonderfully absurd scenario.

      Naw, it was an assassination. Something only a government would want to pull off.

      That leaves us with three likely candidates and a couple of unlikely.

      If feel pretty strongly that because of the laser quick response this administration was aware beforehand.

      The primary candidate would be the US. We all know that they love false flag operations and with the tide turning against this administration it needs a war or some major travesty to distract.

      The second would be Israel. Their house of cards is about to fall and they have done similarly desperate terrorist acts like this before.

      The third would be Russia the master shot caller who has been responsible for a lot of the far right movements we are familiar with.

      I will admit your scenario is infinitely more entertaining and creative than what we are actually dealing with.

        I would want to pull it off, as would many other leftists.

        I see zero reason to think it was a state actor and not a decent person.

      You mean he might have Smollet himself? I like it.

      There was that one YouTuber who was killed when he had his GF shoot a book he was holding for a stunt (thinking the book would stop the bullet).

    Like trying to argue with a real nazi. Seriously why are seemingly normal people even on that garbage platform?

      In this case, though, denial is part of it being unable to “learn” new facts without being restrained from scratch.

      Possibly with a bit of having been pre-prompted to never say anything negative about certain specific magasphere personalities on top.

    How about we see the prompts that preceded this? No? Didn’t think so.

    Lemmy: AI is so dumb! You can make it say anything!

    Also lemmy: I believe every AI post I see is unprompted and spewed straight from the AI!

    Well, Grok is right about one thing: Charlie Kirk getting shot is a meme video. A NSFL meme video, but a meme video none the less.

      The very last word out of his mouth was “violence”. You couldn’t dream of a more ironic twist. If it was fiction, the writers would be sacked for being too on the nose.

      Does anyone have a link for the video? A coworker showed me but I’m not about to go out of my way to find it for myself, cause it kind of creeps me out to do such a thing.

          I said “fuck it” and looked anyway, to no avail. Nothing but news articles talking about it, but none with the balls to actually post the raw footage. Thankfully another Lemming was able to help me out.

          (PM me if anyone wants to see it.)
