That Floyd tweet was fantastically dim-witted, so much more so than I expected from the headline. This unaltered video of a man's death is a deepfake not because it was doctored, nor because it's misleading, but because it gave progressive beliefs I don't like. And all that was sandwiched between an AI plug. His point was that AI would somehow shit all over the libs and he doesn't explain how, not even a little bit.

How do these weird ass neolib AI freakazoids keep getting cited in mainstream sites?

Also he used to be u/imaxblue. 3 years ago today this man was making 2 sentence horror stories, posting pictures of his dratini plush, and speaking in uwu xd talk. All while decrying wokism on his substack.

The craziest part is that this is just every tenth guy on the web right now. Man I used to be terminally online, but every time I see the newest micro celebrity I feel like I'm in freak central.

Proof (he links his substack): https://www.reddit.com/r/uwaterloo/comments/kl4oz0/well_yes_i_am_an_expert_in_epidemiology/gh6vfiz/?context=3

Yeah that was my takeaway as well. "Oh right, so he's like every one of them." Imagine this being your normal, god that's not healthy.
