Regarding the story about a fake video.

Truly, we are down the AI slop rabbit hole

This dude is throwing everything to try to pretend he ain't a fucking pedophile in Epstein's list.

They're trying to insinuate that the accusations on them are of the same legitimacy of those they've been throwing at everyone for decades.

If their claims are rebuked as baseless, they'll call the claims against them baseless as well. If the claims against them are said to be substantiated, they'll point to their claims and suggest the same. It's the "tails I win, heads you lose" of a political scheme.

Will an AI make a video of him being innocent in the Epstein case, or is the technology still not that good?

an AI cannot output something that does not appear in the training material ...

Epstein’s best friend, convicted felon and adjudicated rapist Donald Trump, is a human trafficking child rapist.

The pedophile in chief is just spraying videos hoping something distracts people

Terry Crews' character in Idiocracy was non-satirically a better President at this point.

Do you know what I do when I go to bed? I sleep. Almost instantly. I don't lay there and stress and worry about what I did. I don't worry about how I'm percieved. I just sleep.

You can see by his actions that trump is a deeply troubled, deeply insecure, deeply stressed man. And I use the word "man" in the loosest of definitions.

Everything he's doing, from the CBS cancelations, to blocking the commanders stadium deal, to whatever this ai video bullshit is, it all screams of a man grasping at straws, desprate to change the topic.

Me? I have no desperation. What'ya guys wanna talk about?

Another low effort attempt to distract feom the fact that this guy is100% in the Epstein files. The AI slop mess is just so very on brand like the distasteful Trump Gaza nonsense
