    No one really knows anything. These “experts” are just guessing. I scanned the beginning of the article, looking for some real info on how they gamed this out. I checked out when that wasn’t at the top.

    We’ll have deepfakes and people will believe them and others will use that as an excuse for shit that’s real and who knows what the fuck. This is only one component in the declining state that is the USA. I’m choosing not to think that much about it.

      News has been running explicit propaganda with 40% of the country believing it for about 30 years. It’s been working fine. As weird as it sounds and as bad as it might be, I think that fake videos are not as game-changing a part of that toolbox as they’ve been made out to be.
