The Infinite Dude

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: I created the viral Trump arrest and Harris McDonald's AI images. Both were instantly debunkable. Both spread like wildfire. Why? Because we've entered an era where truth matters less than the stories we choose to believe. A thread on engineering viral fiction.. 🧵

Ai will

@adamscrabble Its a vacation now. White Lotus minus the architecture.

How is it even possible that the people on survivor are so clean, their clothes look like they just came from the dry cleaners, there nails like they got just got a manicure. There’s no insects tormenting them, no hard work, no hunger. WTF

@KevinCotedge @TheSCIF You are the first ping I've received from this thread that isn't a bot lol

@TheSCIF Cc @TheInfiniteDude 😂

Don't EVER forget that a Democrat presidential candidate was so desperate to beat Trump that they lied to the world by literally photoshopping Kamala's face on a girl's photo to make it look like Kamala worked at McDonald's when she was younger.

@jackburton109 I made it

@TheInfiniteDude Did you have this made or did someone else?

This is fake.

‘Dune is about religious fundamentalism and the danger of charismatic lead-“ Actually it’s about the importance supply chain diversification

@HMBohemond This made me realize Frank Herbert probably had plans to include in the story an interaction between Holzman Shields and Miles Teg's speed @Stormcrow_JE

The Hotlzman Shield in Dune is one of the perfect examples of adding a tiny thing to a setting to get a vibe you want out of it. In Dune's case: - Holtzman Shields stop fast moving objects. - Lasguns (particle beam guns in Dune) can cause a nuclear explosion if they hit a shield, so they're not commonly used. - Melee is the dominant form of combat, trying to strike slow to penetrate the shields. - Projectile weapons exist but they're designed around boring through or disrupting shields, but a skilled combatant can deflect the slow moving projectiles. - Heavy artillery can still kill shielded humans through sheer transfer of force or heat, which the shield can't block. - Anti-vehicle weapons are built around these principles because the vehicle might be shielded. Dune codified the idea of high tech sci-fi where you still have melee and the idea of "oh here's this piece of technobabble that let's me have what I want in my sci-fi setting." Gundam's Minovsky Particle and Mass Effect's Element Zero owe the Holtzman Shield their existence.

@Stormcrow_JE Ecological lens! Great way of putting it. Otherwise, I think engaging with the story means bringing our own view to the conversation, its not just the author talking at us. We make sense of the world ourselves too. And the conversation had w Dune will differ from reader to reader

I can see where you’re coming from with that. He does everything in the series through an ecological lens admittedly. The entire saga is the process of one single planet in the imperium swirling up an amassing influence over the entire known universe, affecting it, then exploding it out into the stars

I do not share Dune fandom with Woksters well. The hot take Venn diagram has way too large an overlap

Haven’t forgotten this. Will never forget this.

Which supporting character stole the scene every time they appeared?

This is basically my story. No 4 was when my brother died 3 years ago. I wish he was alive today to see how far I've come.

@cfryant Counterpoint: the picturesque painterly composition style emphasizes the myth-quality of the story about Greek gods.

@cfryant The composition is too picturesque and staged. The costumes dont look used- like it feels like they have been worn once for this photoshoot. Versus a similar image in 28 Years Later which feels real cause the image and the characters are kinda fucked up looking.

Been trying to put my finger on what the issue is here, and I got it - they look like they're trick-or-treating vs actually looking like the characters.

@cfryant youtu.be/BjRndcTYqJo?si… Hype

First look at a24's The Backrooms movie.

If you're feeling down because people downplay your achievements on here, remember that the most successful person you can think of also gets constant hate online. It doesn’t matter how good or successful you are. Someone will always try to drag you down, which means you are free.

@Stormcrow_JE Maybe another island show: Survivor

@Stormcrow_JE LOST might be mine
