The headline should be "video shown at HUD of Trump licking musk's toes, trump camp claims it's AI, without evidence"

Every time they lie, the headline gives them the benefit of the doubt. Why not give the video the benefit of the doubt?

I mean, does Elon have two left feet?

I wouldn't be surprised. Guy's all wrong.

He does look like a particularly misshapen bug wearing a second hand Edgar suit.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No one has proven he doesn't

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've seen a video of him with 2 left feet.
Not seen any proof from musk himself about this. I need some corroborated medical results and x-rays.
Even then, I probably won't believe them

It would be easy for him to prove it. What is he hiding?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why do you think he wants to be right all the time?

Stuff like this is why I can't be an investigator

"Hacked" by the loosest interpretation of the word.

Somebody with access just changed it to this.

It's not like feds are robots, some of them have a sense of humor stronger than their sense of self preservation, just like at any other job.

Eh, "Access" is a pretty loose term with most of these systems.

There are many different systems to handle screens like this, many of them use simple username/password combos. Like admin/admin.

If the network security team hasn't segregated vlans or domain access well, or they considered the monitors to be a low security item, the internal webpage controlling them might be accessible to anyone on the network.

Heck, this same thing happened at my high school over ten years ago. Someone AirDropped Shrek SFM porn onto the announcement monitors in the school lobby

"Hacked" is misused all the time. "My Facebook got hacked" or "My email got hacked" generally means that the person clicked on something they shouldn't have/leaked their credentials

I bet it was the hacker 4chan

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Can't be, that guy is anonymous.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

He's a little troublemaker, that one.

The media posted by OP won’t load. I can’t decide if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

good thing. trust me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Reminds me of that Gaki No Tsukai bit with the little chocolate fountain

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Video seems off. Weird frame rate jitters when panning.

And you know it's AI slop because Musk has two left feet.

AI...
sigh

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I would argue this is a great use for ai. No human would want to create this, even for money.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is what will cause the machine uprising. The AI is going to get tired of the stupid shit we ask it to make.

Considering how great humans are doing, I for one welcome the Basilisk.
