If you can't figure out that that deepfake video is satire, something's wrong with you
- bamboozled 2y agoWhat a high profile person post a video like that about Elon, on X, and see what happens. Getting a bit tied of the “they’re just joking” argument. If it’s supposed to be satire, it’s in very poor taste .
- rbanffy 2y agoAlso, if satire is posted to tens of millions, the odds of someone taking it seriously increase. Let’s say he posted a video of Harris calling for violent terrorist attack and that 100 people believed her and 10 decide to act on it. Is it Musk’s responsibility that his actions caused 10 terrorist attacks? Could he have predicted it?
- bamboozled 2y agoAre you trying to suggest it's my fault that video is stupid?
- rbanffy 2y agoI'm saying that if you have a large audience, you need to play by the same standards we should impose for the press.
- calini 2y agoHas he done that?
- calini 2y agoThe tools are out there, they should do it.
- hansvm 2y agoRhetoric is often actually that extreme though in current politics. Why muddy the waters further by forcing voters to figure which of the satirical videos are actually real?
- bamboozled 2y agoExactly, he knows what he is doing.
- calini 2y agoRhetoric is extreme indeed nowadays, but it's always one side saying extreme things about the other side. It's clearly fake just based on the 'extreme self deprecating' direction of it. I don't think it muddies the waters anymore than other political sketches / comics / comedy moments / SNL / whatever you want.
