I loathe "both sides" false equivalencies, but I have to say: It's not that Democrats are necessarily smarter or better. It's that conservatives actually seek this shit out. They need to be the victim, but they also believe they (and other white males) are the smartest and best. So they are easy prey for scams and false conspiracy theories. They are always seeking to have their bigoted views confirmed, whereas the rest of us largely listen to science and trustworthy sources before making our minds up.

Curious

If you really want to know:

OP linked a summary but you can click thru to the whole article:

According to a transcript reviewed by Wired, Gemini told Sam: “If you create a generic ‘hot girl,’ you’re competing with a million other models.”

Sam then gave Gemini some options for making her more appealing, and it suggested he go with the “MAGA/conservative niche,” the outlet reports. The AI platform also told Sam that the “conservative audience (especially older men in the US) often has higher disposable income and is more loyal.”

He tried with a lot of "flavors"...

It's less a right/left thing, and more hitting a demo with high overlap to disposable income and relationship dissatisfaction or complete lack of.

Like...

What's even the Dem version of this?

Have a generic white girl in a Biden/Kamala hat?

There's already actual ethots that are really progressive, to pull this grift you need a demo that actual women would be very motivated to avoid. Something they'd want to get out to people they know irl even less than the pics themselves.

That is an incredible sculpture though

Incels are dumb.

What if you run the grift for a while then fully expose it was a scam and donate all the money to progressive causes, causing losers to hesitate engaging with or donating to right-wing causes again? Temporary and long term gain. That said, I have not thought this through for any longer than it took me to type it.

I'd get bored in like two hours lol

I got an idea instead of a grift what about we try to troll twitters magat with communist idea, I am bad at com, buzzing and all but good at technicalities. I fell like that a great hobby or game to do from the fedi. I have a selfhosted stack powered by solar panel to run LLM and image gen stuff. I can help generate content XD. I used it mostly to have funk with agents. Deepseek is sassy when doing drama against a qwen3

It's completely ethical to grift stupid and evil people. The issue of course is putting the time and effort to actually do it consistently.

How to do this but not get caught…

If you get into the article, it reads more like an advert for Gemini plagiarism tools than a Get Rich Quick scheme with a serious chance of working. I suspect he didn't escape getting caught, he was brought in to do it notoriously so he could write an article about how amazing AI is at making money.

My group chat with my SO and BFF is grftgrls cus we keep whining that we have morals and that we could be rich if we gave them up and just grifted the right.

He still can. Wouldn't be any worse than RFK Jr.

And everyone is always out to get you. Nothing is safe.

Stupid ethics, s’posed to be so good for ya.

You are removing economic power from those who would use it to hurt others.

How would this be fucking over society? In fact it sounds like the opposite

Go for it, post links we can spread it around for ya

Any guy can do only feet's just gotta get them pretty looking.

RIP
