They don’t even need to use AI, they can just have a couple dozen expats in Miami circle around a camera with signs and pretend to be part of a big celebration crowd.

I had a REAL hard time finding the imperfections in those videos, especially of the two men walking towards the camera. It’s basically indistinguishable, especially in those lower quality resolutions, and certainly to someone who isn’t scrutinizing them heavily, which they certainly are not.
Yikes.
Edit – Here’s an article that details the artifacting and inconsistencies:
A lot of venezuelans were happy with the “arrest” of Maduro.
EmbarrassedHelp on
Its pretty obviously fake if you know anything about Venezuela. The Madruo regime literally kills critics and dissenters. The regime is still in charge, and thus it would be suicide to celebrate Maduro’s removal in the streets. The only Venezuelans who can safely celebrate, are the ones not living in Venezuela.

The misinformation/disinformation that we folks will be exposed at this year, if not for the foreseeable decades and centuries will get even more murkier and disruptive.
It’s at the point where weaponization of these is going to run rampant like cancer, and it is infuriating how little action there is to combat against this plague.
I really hate this timeline.

Of course it’s AI slop. Do you think these people are going to cry on the streets for the colectivos to kill them?
Venezuelans also don’t talk like that not do they make the same motions over and over again in the background of an old woman crying.
I hadn’t seen these videos and I have been consistently keeping up with these events through friends and family. I wouldn’t be surprised if these were created to install even more uncertainty amongst the world opinion.

Oh conservatives. You guys love to cheat. Can’t win on your own merits because you have none? Make up some bullshit. Not enough people vote for you because you suck donkey dick for a living? Do some gerrymandering. Need someone who’s slick enough to fuck with the voting machines? Just team up with a developmentally challenged tech dweeb. History will not be kind to you. Quite possibly the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet, and that’s really saying something.

Of course it is. Who better to order disinformation than the guy who cries “fake news” in every conversation with the press..

I don’t understand why so many people on here were not only insisting Venezuelans are thrilled by this but that we all agree NOW that they are. I don’t know they feel. Nobody’s doing any polling. But if they’re thrilled, we will all know that at some point. So why the insistence that we all agree they’re grateful for it *today*?

There may be Venezuelans celebrating but that’s going to be the actual fascists. I’d wager most Venezuelans are outraged at being invaded and having 40+ of their fellow citizens murdered while the nation wasn’t even in a state of war; something we like to call “crimes against humanity” but of course it’s far from the first time. America has been mass murdering people for many decades with zero consequences.

Honestly? I dont even care. I’m sure there ARE people who are happy. I’m sure there ARE people who are very upset. I don’t need to personally see a video of people’s reactions to know the facts: The USA uses military power to manipulate geopolitics. Why does everyone care rather or not this makes people happy or not? Why is that even the focus? Maduro is a fucking dictator and should be held accountible now that he’s in a position where that can happen. That doesn’t mean America should get a free pass to overthrow governments it doesn’t like when resources are on the table.
Both things can be true. Hyperfixating on rather or not a video is AI is such a distraction and will become evern more distracting if we continue to allow the fact that this type of content exists be the focus of our discussions.
BicFleetwood on
There are hard-line, anti-Maduro, like straight up violent FARC-esque vanguard organizations in Venezuela whose reaction to this has been “solidarity above all, Maduro belongs to Venezuela, give him back.”
By doing this, the US has only turned Maduro from an unpopular president into a popular martyr. Actual, real-life Venezuela is not celebrating this–it’s mobilizing Latin America against imperial forces. Even Maduro’s *enemies* are lining up behind him at this stage, if only opportunistically.
This bullshit about Venezuelans celebrating is all manufactured consent. Old and oft-embittered rivals are uniting and aligning against the US in real-time, only amplified by the fact that the US *for some reason* is publicly trying to put Maduro on trial in domestic US courts.
Once again, the US goes off half-cocked without a plan, the shit-liberals wring their hands about how bad a guy Maduro is and how the real issue *the process,* and everything falls into chaos.
