I'm skipping through some of them from morbid curiosity, and there seem to be a few recurring themes:

  • Dead celebrities doing whacky and outrageous things, mostly Stephen Hawking

  • Cops stopping various pop culture characters for speeding

  • 90s toy commercials featuring Jeffrey Epstein and Diddy toys

  • Most depressingly, "funny" videos about ICE raids and Trump's military crackdowns. Example: body cam footage of a cop with an assault rifle chasing green alien dudes in a house or protestors being maced by troops

I'm so glad this technology exists, thank you techbros

Since I have only ever used my Facebook account as basically an RSVP system for some of my friend's events, I get "generic" shorts. When I scroll past them, it's very striking how many of them are just obviously completely fake AI stuff. I get the impression that a lot of people don't even care if these are "real" or "authentic" anymore, as long as it's smashing those neurotransmitters.

I got recommended some short earlier where a house cat saved a toddler from a black bear. It was immediately obvious the video was fake, and not only because of the Sora2 watermark. Looking at the comments, plenty of people were just commenting on the video at face value, praising the cat for being brave and saving the babby!!!!

There were people pointing out the video was AI, but there was at least one reply telling them that it didn't matter because this was something that could have happened
