    For years, some on the extreme right have promoted the conspiracy theory that the U.S. military is in possession of technology — in the form of magic “med beds” — which can singlehandedly cure any disease and extend human life. The beds can supposedly even regrow missing limbs within minutes.

    leaks show that the military really is in possession of such a device.

    Ah he must’ve caught parts of reruns of the classified military documentaries SG-1 and NCC-1701D where folks in uniform are clearly seen handling such beds.

      Elysium as well. I wouldn’t put Star Trek into the mix, as there are still diseases and ailments in that universe, they’re just a bit more advanced.

      He didn’t pick up on the theme of the commons defeating authoritarianism and only noticed the magic medical beds.

        It’s like thinking Star Wars is all about cool glow stick fights. I mean, it is, but it’s about other stuff too.

          It’s about pew, pew too.

          Actually after Andor my Star Wars perspective has shifted. Any Star Wars from the epic to the small is about hope, and that anyone can contribute their part to change. Sometimes a person is a big part of that, sometimes just a small piece, but they’re all important.

          Wow, Trump wouldn’t like that, would he? That is, if he could possibly pick up on that theme.

    Ok, so was that video entirely AI and he saw it and posted it thinking maybe he was interviewed for it and forgot… or is that video real and he was actually interviewed and this was a real news clip?

      The Fox News studio posted a statement, saying the clip was never aired on their channel. The entire news clip is AI, not just the part with Trump talking.

        I just think it’s ai voices over mostly real clips and obvious stock footage. If you make a cut every second of two no one can even tell that video doesn’t belong to the audio

        But then, I have no interest in going framed by frame. I can see how this would fool someone as moronic as anyone to the right of left
