NBC News Summary of Press Conference:
I think that's all I got for now folks! Thanks for following. [6:50 ET]
9:17 ET: AP reports no one is currently in custody: 
maybe I'm just going crazy, but the video of trump announcing kirk's death looks extremely AI generated. there's a very odd jump at 19 seconds in, and the whole thing has that overly processed sheen to it. his face doesn't look like it's moving in a natural way. are they generating presidential addresses now?
https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1965947311718269341
I think it was recorded, with multiple takes then shittily edited/filtered with AI slop
maybe not the whole thing but there are definite AI editing hallmarks, that fucking hand motion you talk about is haunting. wtf is going on in the reflection? the trees in the background? that movement is not human. his sleeve grows. the fucking photos in the background morph slightly. this is so much more disturbing to me than the video of blood
yeah, actually, what the fuck? Something is triggering my lizard brain about this video, let alone that moment at 19 seconds
Did trump die today too? Is this the day when centuries happen?
More likely he just looks like shit.
so just a video compression error at 19 seconds then? and the way his forehead kind of floats around strangely?
Its been a while since I watched a video of him speaking, but goddamn something is fucked here surely?!
Maybe it's just bad edits, a filter, and a very practiced speaking stance. But there are very clearly multiple edit jumps. I've seen longer AI footage have those clear jumps where multiple videos are stitch together. Like you take a starting image, generate a video, then take the last frame and use it to generate the next scene. But this video does look like an edit more than an AI stitch. Like Trump has a resting pose and returned to that after flubbing a line.
it’s so saturated it looks looks a ~~bungie~~ red alert 2 cutscene
That video is absolutely AI. Fucking PKD Penultimate Truth shit.
So often I feel like we're living in PKDs nightmares
the saturated colors gave it away to me, not that it matters tho.
Same!! Glad I'm not losing it
What do you mean not that it matters? How could it not matter? He could be dead! Weekend at bernies, or like in HxH when Pitou puppets Diego, which would be a huge development (probably not, he's probably just lazy as fuck or looking puffy today but still)
i was thinking that it was posted by the official account so it didnt matter that it was actually trump saying it or just an AI image, the message is likely consented anyways. Though thinking further it could be dangerous if the acc got hacked and someone posted an AI video of trump saying something so i guess it does matter if its ai or not.
I'm not sure about AI generated. I did think it was weird he wasn't using his normal animated hand gestures and his left hand was covering the right the whole time.
wasn't his right hand the one with the big fucking rotting spot on it? i could easily chalk it up to being sensitive about that
Doesnt his pointer finger on his left hand look super weird when you zoom in on it though? I just watched the hands for a while and its unsettling
dunno, i watched like 20s one time, gotta be honest i can't be assed to sit and stare at him any longer than i'm forced to, ai or not
