20 out of how many millions?

[–] Kbobabob 1 points 3 months ago

No, no, no. It was only 20. Will only ever be 20.

They're either willfully ignorant or blatantly lying if they think AI wasn't heavily used. There were so many Kamala deepfakes, including those really weird pornographic ones that conservatives were passing around, no doubt very insecure in their sexuality and hoping to find that in others as well.

I've personally stopped every covert influence operation on Meta platforms.

Just quit. There is nothing for you there.

Hey, whattaya know? I've stopped twice that!

Wait, I have to back up my claims of my awesomeness?
