Probably why he posted an AI eulogy for Kirk

    I don't know if it's completely AI...

    It feels more like a really really advanced filter. Which explains why he keeps his body almost perfectly still, to the point he holds his hands together the whole time.

    Those filters don't like movement, but I've literally never seen him be so still before.

    Like, he filmed it, that's actually trump in the video, then they ran a deep fake filter with him with a "better" face/hands. But so it wouldn't stick out, they ran the same filter over everything else, which is why everything looks AI in the video despite no plausible reason.

    It's sounds tinfoily until you remember this is trump we're talking about, he's done way worse

    There’s oddness that’s also affecting the window in the background. You see it move around odd when he moves around odd.

    He’s clearly covering his right hand.

    Looks like some kind of ML version of a dissolve edit. There was also a shift in his position and no breath between sentences there. Like they cut out a big breath or interruption of some sort.

    He’s way too still and uniform over the whole thing though. No 80 y/o can hold that still unless they’re napping in front of a TV. (And you usually end up checking for breathing when they do).

    I heard someone mention it could be Adobe Premiere or some shit like that.

    It’s definitely doctored in some way.

    Reminds me a lot of the lengths they went to hide the fact that FDR was in a wheelchair way back.

    I saw someone mention something about his hands but that was quickly debunked. Was there anything else that proved it to be faked?

    How was it debunked?

    You can clearly see his pinky finger melting into his palm and then his ring finger becoming his new pinky if you play the official video on YouTube at 0.25 speed.

    Likewise, look at the damn article this post is about.

    Trump today does not look like the Trump in that video. Trump, today, looks like he's had a damn stroke.

    The AI video doesn't even look like a Trump from this week, and even if its only AI in-part, thats still extraordinarily important and not OK, and any one dismissing this as a "debunked" is normalizing something thats actually a huge fucking deal (way fucking bigger than some shit bird getting shot in the neck).

    Yeah, I don't know how people can't realize that Trump in that video, is NOT what Trump actually looks like, even with the best makeup. He's old and tired. When you see pictures of him dressed in casual golf attire at maralago he looks like an old fat woman who's melting

    I have seen some video editors say that it's shot morphing, a technique to seamless switch from one shot to another or to cut out filler words. I don't think it's good to edit shots like this where veracity is important but it's probably real.

    If you speed up the video, his face is obviously fake.

    When he came back after he disappeared he looked like he had a stroke. I think he's having many mini strokes making it harder for him to disguise after each one.

    I know we just recently got into a bit of tussle elsewhere, but I think I mostly agree with you here.

    The uh, the 'morph-cut', when his hands shift and kinda melt?

    Look above his head when that happens.

    The lighting and shadow on the trees in the background changes.

    Its all one way before that happens, and its all another way after that happens.

    ... I think he literally stroked out, while they were filming this, thats why the morph cut is there, and if some body wanted to try to model the scene, the oval office, geopositioned right, with the sun, they could probably estimate how long it was between these two shots they merged together... or timeskipped between.

    I don't think his face is completely fake, I think it may have some kind of... correction applied to it, to try to minimize the droopiness of ... what you can see in his face today, from the 9/11 memorial.

    Sorta like how and instagram filter morphs your face... and a frame stabilization effect tries to keep objects centered and just boink the frame itself around...

    Something like a face stabilization effect, if that makes any sense.

    Sure. Recorded at 24fps and interpolated to 60fps. Lots of weird shit can happen with motion interpolation.

    I've played a bit with frame interpretation using open source models. With those models, fast movement did seem to trigger some weird artifacts and glitches that were visible at lower speeds or paused.

    I guess it's possible that a propietary model is using some other image generation techniques to make those artifacts less noticeable. I think that would still constitute something that should be called out.

    If the issue is with interpretation, then we shouldn't see this visual glitch in the original footage.

    YouTube has been doing “AI” stuff to shorts lately. It’s caused a lot of upset among the artists posting stuff as it’s changing their artwork.

    That said, I’ve not seen the video in question so don’t take my comment as anything about that.

    I was weirded out by the disappearing finger as well. There was a recent article in The Atlantic that mentioned Google had been testing AI to improve video clarity. It's possible we are seeing a combination of that and motion interpolation artifacts like what was mentioned here. I used yt-dlp commands to download both the CNN video and the video from the white house channel. They both look less weird on a larger screen. That process was called out here.

    We all want him gone, I'm just always gonna be sore we won't ever see him destitute and imprisoned. We shouldn't have had to rely on the inevitable to rid us of this human parasite.

    Maybe he'll suffer for a few months unable to get out of bed while getting to scroll through posts of death-wishes and people celebrating?

    Would be nicer if he was handcuffed to said bed for the duration though-- for being found guilty of raping children since he is a child rapist who raped kids.

    Honestly, that would be worse for us, as they’d continue to invoke his name and say “this is what he wants done” and autopen the shit out of things with us having no recourse to prove otherwise.

    At least if he’s confirmed dead, they can still invoke his name, but it’ll be blunted and it will hopefully put a serious crack, if not break, the cult of personality hold on a lot of MAGAts

    Can’t wait to see trump wearing sunglasses and going everywhere with Hegseth and RFK Jr. propping him up as they walk around and pretend to have him whisper things in their ear that they relay to us.

    They’ll probably just be boring and use AI, but I’m still hoping for a Weekend at Bernie’s.

    So what happens to project 2025 when the mouth piece responsible for Trump's Gen Z support dies, Trump dies, and VP Couch Fucker becomes president?

    I don't see a lot of people putting up with the Heritage Foundation's bullshit if the snake is rattleless and headless.

    The question is whether the democrats will actually meaningfully act to undo any of project 2025. The way they act now it seems like it's coin flip on whether or not they'll continue it themselves.

    I mean, they're going to want to win over those same voters once Trump is gone so they don't really have much reason to not have hard shift to the right.

    Dems crave the approval of the right and have spite for the left, embarrassed at any support they get from the left.

    Without new dems we will not find out newsom will lose or have it taken from him and after 2028 it will be fixed up tight(er.)

    Sorry to upset people thinking of him dieing soon, but they're going to sit him in a gold throne, kept barely alive, in suspended animation, then keep him alive and in charge for 40,000 years.

    They'll use AI every time they want him to "say something".

    I think I'd personally join up with Khorne. I'm not much for violence or rage, but I feel like he offers a pretty straightforward deal compared to the other gods. No shenanigans, no chance of becoming a spawn as long as I do what I'm supposed to, and although he's not gonna protect me he also isn't gonna backstab me.

    Maybe I can forge weapons or something while blasting Amon Amarth? I feel like that's Khorne enough.

    He had a stroke. COVID infected in at his age have double the chances of stroke later on.
