Absolutely horrible stuff. Another example of how AI can insidiously reproduce someone’s voice or likeness and turn it against them with no moral consequences. AI is perhaps the biggest danger to the world today, even ahead of nuclear arms.
That these criminal and illegal robocalls were coming from Texas is no surprise, as it’s no doubt the work of some ill-educated sick and socially demented idiot who hates leftists or liberals or any kind of updated progressive thinking. Texas is looking more and more like the #1 refuge of internal terrorists and mentally ill cultists. Very sad.
I wouldn’t blame all of Texas it’s a big state with a lot of different people. Casting judgement against the whole state seems like throwing the baby out with the bathwater to me.
That said I’ve got a feeling we’ll learn a whole lot about Mr. Monk in the coming days. And I agree that AI generated disinformation is going to present an increasing threat to democracies around the globe. It’ll be interesting seeing how this type of attack gets combated.
To be fair, the majority of residents in red states are hateful selfish losers that lack even the smallest nugget of empathy. The average Christian American sees empathy as a weakness and character flaw.
How much poop has to float in your bath water before you throw it out? Seems like we have a never ending stream of turds coming from Texas - is there ever enough shit? Or is there no limit?
Meh… give TX back to Mexico.
Poor Mexico 😢
I would be very unsurprised to learn that some of Texas’ state leadership was involved in this. Maybe you consider it to generalizing for the public, but the Texas governor is already illegally relocating migrants to attack liberal cities. I wouldn’t be surprised if elections in Texas were neither free nor fair, but there is still a sizable majority that are supporting ratfuckery and electing public officials that represent that desire. If we’re already blaming the Texas government, it’s really not that much further to blame the state as a whole.
