The account is an example of how artificial intelligence is being used to push political agendas in wartime
MAGA has been swooning over photos of a blonde U.S. Army soldier, walking defiantly alongside President Donald Trump to carry out the America First agenda. But there’s just one problem — she’s AI.
Images most likely generated by artificial intelligence depicted Jessica Foster wearing heels on a U.S. warship in the Strait of Hormuz, posing for selfies with Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, and giving a speech at the president’s “Board of Peace” event earlier this year.
The account, which has since been taken down, gained more than one million followers since its mysterious creator started posting on it four months ago, The Washington Post reports.
It seems you’ve thought deeply about this. I’ve done so as well.
It really fucking freaks me out that such a large chunk of our society is detached from objective, verifiable realty. A fair amount of what they believe is pants-on-head crazy vengeance fantasy. Another big chunk has spooky parallels to literal Nazi propaganda such as the Protocol of the Elders of Zion, it’s so similar that it’s obviously just borrowed. It’s shocking that more people don’t see it for what it transparently is.
I have no clue what can be done about it. I don’t know how society heals this or reinforces the value of facts, sanity, and critical thinking.
You got anything? Any thoughts about where we go from here? How to unfuck their heads? Where does this end if they aren’t deprogrammed? How long will we be trapped in this?
Genuine questions because I ain’t got a fucking clue at this point.
I think it is a fight on all fronts situation.
If I am picking a single issue I am picking transparency. Without it you don’t have a democracy.
I push for more ranked voting, there are a few types that all seem fine.
Illinois just had a plurality wins primary, that’s crazy to me.
I found a thing I was looking for, referred from activistchecklist.org
“You’re three people who’ve held #meetings, made decisions, navigated disagreement, migrated platforms, and built a #SetOfAgreements you wrote yourselves. That’s not common.”

Those are good security guides.
I think I’m at the point where it’s more about keeping my head down. Protect my family and people. Hope we don’t end up in a camp.
Until one of these occurs, nothing changes: some real national leadership opposing this, more than 5% start going hungry, or large numbers of people are being murdered/placed in camps.
We all have vulnerable friends and family, it is a great time to stay in touch, build and rebuild relationships.
