Amidst the horror of the killing of Renee Good, I take solace in seeing how technology has outperformed propaganda:

Randahl Fink

I have seen more lies about the killing than I can count, but it is 2026, and I have also seen around 6 different video recordings of the incident from all possible angles WITH clear audio.

Gone are the days, when propagandists could freely shape the narrative. JD Vance and Trump can still lie, but we can see the incident they are lying about, from 6 different angles WITH audio.

@randahl Then #AI comes in and creates a video according to wanted narrative. Yes, experienced people propably will know it's AI, but there are others, who wont...

Allan Svelmøe Hansen

@schmaker @randahl indeed. Was about to make that point. AI will be used to create fake enough narratives which then will flow through SoMe and into the......"lax" parts of more mainstream media that had jumped on the Trump train. People who want to be lied to, will believe any lie told and to few institutions hold accountability. Jan 6, and 2020 are prime examples of how a narrative can still be spun.

Of course this just mean "we" have to be more vigilant and vocal

@schmaker
I completely agree. Video being trustworthy is something we really can no longer count on. We need tech folks to come up with some way make it easier to tell genuine video from fakes.

The #BBC' of course, still dutifully reports the lies and both-sides it. Appalling journalism, but hardly surprising.

That's why gen AI is a fascists dream machine.

@randahl you can always tell when Trump , Vance & Musk lie it's when they open their mouths!
