Why do fascists love AI? [37:33] - Caelan Conrad
Why does the far-right love AI slop more than anyone else on the internet? And why should anyone even care? From racist EBT deepfakes to photorealistic images of enemies that never existed to Superman Trump saving a smiling baby (and dog???) from a flood, AI has become the perfect tool for a political movement that needs you to stop thinking and start blindly believing.
