Just Your Average, Everyday AI Propaganda Wars

I'll save the much larger discussion about overall risks and potential rewards of AI for another day, but it does play a part in our little story today.

On Monday, it was reported that someone had hacked government systems to stream an AI video of Trump sucking Musk's toes over TVs playing inside HUD headquarters. (404 Media appears to have been first to report, but that site is paywalled.)

One thing everyone can likely agree on: Trump doesn't like to be outdone. So, today, he posted his own AI video to portray his vision of a Gaza Riviera, complete with a giant golden statue of Trump himself as people walked around, showered in cash, celebrating his benevolence.

I honestly can't tell which video makes me more queasy.
