People are so ignorant of history that it’s not difficult to get them to believe in fake historical videos. Did you know Germany won World War II? From Stephen Karganovic at strategic-culture.su:
Artificial intelligence has rightfully become the subject of great controversy, even though it is still early to fully assess its impact.
George Orwell was spot on when he wrote that “who controls the past controls the future.” The remarkable advances of Artificial Intelligence technology appear to bear him out. But they confirm also the correctness of the rest of his prescient remark, which is cited less often, that “who controls the present controls the past.” That also seems confirmed, as we shall see presently.
Artificial intelligence has rightfully become the subject of great controversy, even though it is still early to fully assess its impact. Yet with each passing day the problematic, and some would even say nefarious, aspects of its uses are becoming increasingly evident.
One of the chief concerns regarding Artificial Intelligence is its pretension to supersede and consign to a state of permanent subservience its human counterpart. Another is the danger it poses to workmen. Their jobs will become largely obsolete and incomes will diminish or disappear once employers discover that the operations human workers were performing for a salary can be done at minimum or no expense by the entity we are becoming accustomed to call Artificial Intelligence, or AI.
Clearly, the uncontrolled spread of AI is taking humanity to uncharted waters. A bizarre illustration is the recent candidacy of an AI entity for mayor of Cheyenne in the U.S. state of Wyoming. Good luck to the good and supposedly conservative people of Cheyenne if they do not have a qualified human candidate amongst them to vote for
. This is just one of the levels where common sense should dictate extreme caution before uncritically engaging some of the potential AI applications. There is however another and more ominous application that is proliferating on the internet. Unlike the previous example, it is not in the least entertaining but should cause alarm and intense unease.
That is the emergence of “deep fakes,” masterful distortions of reality so convincingly executed that even the most advanced forensic tools, let alone the unaided human faculties, would find it nearly impossible to detect the deception.
Controlling the past has always given the authoritarians the ability to manipulate the masses. They have always claimed (as observed by Socrates) that they (the leader) were only responding to the immoral attacks of others by leading their citizens to war and enslavement of others while enslaving their own with the rules needed to protect them from the ‘others’ who wanted to destroy them.

Even Malcolm X referenced that quote and it was sampled by Public Enemy.
He who controls the money, politricks, religion, controls the world.
As for AI like the dank meme…let’s work on natural human stupidity first.
A human versus AI teevee show, I would watch.
I would even go on there…for me to poop on.
