Are we confident it isn’t AI?

I don’t ask this because I think it is. I ask this because audio is pretty damn easy to fake these days, and Candace Owens has no love for Erika Kirk.

Confirmation bias is really powerful, I just want to make sure we’re considering the source. But I am not an expert and would be thrilled by someone explaining how we know it’s real.

Not to mention candace has really gone off the deep end. My hypothesis has been that since she's basically a shock jock like fuentes, she has to keep doing and saying crazier shit to stay in the public eye. After throwing her full support behind Kanye during his... Whatever that was, there's really no place to go except insane conspiracies like flat earth and ancient aliens.

Though honestly after seeing the "why isn't ice melting at 30 degrees" tweet, I'm not sure if she's still grifting or losing her tether to reality.

Porque no los dos? Despite Biggie's commandments plenty of pushers get high on their own supply

I think you’re right to be skeptical.

The drama is real, even if the audio isn’t.

Agreed. And even if it isn’t AI, everyone reacts to bad news differently. I didn’t cry when my dad died for several days. It doesn’t seem real at first.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!
