The account is an example of how artificial intelligence is being used to push political agendas in wartime
MAGA has been swooning over photos of a blonde U.S. Army soldier, walking defiantly alongside President Donald Trump to carry out the America First agenda. But there’s just one problem — she’s AI.
Images most likely generated by artificial intelligence depicted Jessica Foster wearing heels on a U.S. warship in the Strait of Hormuz, posing for selfies with Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, and giving a speech at the president’s “Board of Peace” event earlier this year.
The account, which has since been taken down, gained more than one million followers since its mysterious creator started posting on it four months ago, The Washington Post reports.
Do military women really wear that kind of uniform with fragile pantyhose? And high heels aboard a warship? That alone would make me call BS.
It’s sad that we live in a world where this occurs.
I lay the blame squarely at the feet of corporate social media.
I thought Kegsbreath declared women had no business being in the military? It’s only for manly manly warrior men like himself?
She’s the perfect MAGA woman: She can’t think for herself and only do what you tell her to. But nice of them to normalize playing with dolls for men.
Does it really matter? These people were detached from reality long before AI was a thing. These are the people who swallowed horse dewormer to fight off a virus, stormed the capitol to hang their own party’s VP over election fraud that never happened (but that they are now actively preparing themselves), and attacked a pizzeria to save children from the clutches of pedophiles (all the while ignoring their idol’s ties to, and probably involvement with the crimes of, pedophile child trafficker Epstein).
We must come to grips with the fact that a significant part of the U.S. population is living in an alternative, media-generated universe. Baudrillard would be laughing his arse off if he could see it. The question is: how to deal with that.
It seems you’ve thought deeply about this. I’ve done so as well.
It really fucking freaks me out that such a large chunk of our society is detached from objective, verifiable realty. A fair amount of what they believe is pants-on-head crazy vengeance fantasy. Another big chunk has spooky parallels to literal Nazi propaganda such as the Protocol of the Elders of Zion, it’s so similar that it’s obviously just borrowed. It’s shocking that more people don’t see it for what it transparently is.
I have no clue what can be done about it. I don’t know how society heals this or reinforces the value of facts, sanity, and critical thinking.
You got anything? Any thoughts about where we go from here? How to unfuck their heads? Where does this end if they aren’t deprogrammed? How long will we be trapped in this?
Genuine questions because I ain’t got a fucking clue at this point.
I think it is a fight on all fronts situation.
If I am picking a single issue I am picking transparency. Without it you don’t have a democracy.
I push for more ranked voting, there are a few types that all seem fine.
Illinois just had a plurality wins primary, that’s crazy to me.
I found a thing I was looking for, referred from activistchecklist.org
“You’re three people who’ve held #meetings, made decisions, navigated disagreement, migrated platforms, and built a #SetOfAgreements you wrote yourselves. That’s not common.”
Those are good security guides.
I think I’m at the point where it’s more about keeping my head down. Protect my family and people. Hope we don’t end up in a camp.
Until one of these occurs, nothing changes: some real national leadership opposing this, more than 5% start going hungry, or large numbers of people are being murdered/placed in camps.
We all have vulnerable friends and family, it is a great time to stay in touch, build and rebuild relationships.
There almost definitely was voter fraud in 2020, but a different party was doing it than MAGA thinks. They got better at it in 2024.
“No she isn’t. She’s more of a man than you are”. -MAGAcucks
AI sex on offer by someone representing a pedo. Makes sense.
LOL, “America First agenda”.
Just what the holy fuck does that even mean according these dumbasses? Because Donvict and his pals are all about America LAST and themselves first.
That shit loaf in trumps pants isnt ai
Why is it the right that has embraced this technology while the left looks like fucking luddites and is losing ground?
Fascists are not constrained by having to respect reality.
The goal of technology is to make our lives better, not make everyone else’s worse. Or so I’ve been led to believe.
Cyberpunk had always said otherwise. I just wanted to believe that wasn’t true.
Surprise surprise for me. 😞
Because it’s tailor made for grifters, it’s a lying machine, just like everything else made for and by conservatives.
Because the right is easier to grift.
“This technology” is, as used here, industrial scale lying which was made possible through industrial scale theft.
We can re-phrase the question: “Why is the right jumping headlong into industrial scale lies and crime, while the left loses ground on this front?”
An answer suggests itself to me.
We can be on a moral high ground all we want but it does not change the fact that they are winning.
I hate it.
I don’t think it’s strictly about “moral high ground.” If you’re willing to do anything to win, then if you do win, the winner will be a person who is willing to do anything.
How many of the accounts that followed this one were actually bot/“AI” accounts designed to do nothing but help boost shit like this to a place where the press reports on it?
Yeah no way I’m believing 1 million real people followed this account. Would be hard to believe even if it said 10,000
Why not? 77 million people voted for Trump. And before you cry “election fraud”, the pre election polls measured similar numbers.
What if it were somehow possible to fabricate polls or manipulate data?
Then we’d be in real trouble.
All the pollsters were pretty close to each other. If you posit fabricated polls, then you are saying that every single pollster in the US is completely compromised. That is just tinfoil hat, in the uncool way.
Honestly pretty surprised…
Lots of authoritarians like being surrounded by attractive women in uniforms, so it’s believable trump did it.
I remember in Bogoto some high ranking dude had 3 legitimate super model looking women a company him when he came on board. They were all easily 5’8, but we’re in legit 6 in heals or more on top of that. Super weird running into them unexpected.
We’re running dangerously low on military psyop egirls ironically enough, so maybe that’s why they’re going to AI?
Lujan clearly isn’t able to handle this on her own.
Look, how many young attractive women would agree to follow and prop Trump everywhere without feeling (legitimately) in danger?
Only an AI would!
These MAGA freaks are just perfectly positioned to be scammed with AI, aren’t they? Blind patriotism/nationalism, easy to manufacture images of the stereotypical people they hate, rejection of science and facts, unshakable loyalty to the Pedophile-In-Chief, zero critical thinking skills, intense tribalism, single echo-chamber source of “news”, love for a pretty, white face, low intelligence, etc. I know some of them have already fallen for scams, but I bet it’s nothing like what we’ll see in the future, most likely by other Republicans…
They didn’t even register the triple boob, a news article will not inform them.
Any MAGA who fell for this is beyond stupid (plus utterly unfamiliar with the military). Her uniform is wrong (skirt WAYYY too high). No one wears dress uniforms underway at sea in general, ESPECIALLY an enlisted soldier (who would likely be nowhere near a ship, even more especially in dress uniform). The ribbons on her dress uniform not only change from picture to picture, but are also the wrong size (sometimes) and not even actual US ribbons. I’ve never seen a regulation name tag say “US ARMY” and not a name. The undershirt in her camis isn’t regulation. And this was just a quick look at the photos and only tangentially around the Army at work.
Oh and that’s before the visible glitches because it’s AI. This is laughably low effort.
EDIT: Damn, they didn’t even use a real ship as the background. It’s supposed to be a destroyer, and there are no US destroyers with an aft-facing bridge or part of the superstructure forward of the bridge windows. Just truly WTF
EDIT 2.0: I just saw a couple other photos because I got curious. One has her as a one-star general 😂, and a couple others have her wearing a (shitty looking) Combat Infantry Badge, which is only awarded for being in combat. So, I guess women CAN hack it in combat! Hegseth must be in shambles.
The only thing that stood out to me was the high heels and skirt instead of proper trousers.
The literal first photo in the article has the American flag patch on her arm backwards. Not flipped like a mirrored image, like the “physical object” is constructed backwards….
Of all the things in the photos that actually made sense. It’s weird, though, and threw me for a loop when I first saw uniforms and such and had to ask back then.
On uniforms, vehicles, etc. the flag is sometimes “backwards” so that the union (the blue and stars) are “forward facing.” The idea is that the flag is flown from the left side in normal orientation, so the union is closest to the pole. If the person or vehicle were carrying a real flag, based on what side a person is observing, the flag may be “mirrored.” In other words, the flag is moving with the person or vehicle and not the opposite way. You’ll see that orientation a lot on American military and para-military uniforms.
I never understood why we don’t just put a normal oriented flag on the opposite shoulder for the same effect, but hey…America is weird.
Any MAGA who fell for this is beyond stupid
What if hardly anybody did but Democrats are ready to believe that Republicans are this stupid. Divide and Conquer.
They are already that stupid for being maga in the first place.
Wanting to make America great again is good. The problem is that they don’t understand that it is a lie. I think it’s stupid to hate them and let the elite harvest their hopes instead of talking to them and winning them over for a better society.
You can literally see them losing their shit on its IG dude.
How many post there?
If only there were some way you could find out…
If only I would need to click to know that it’s not millions and only is a self-selected group of thirsty frustrated people.
How about high heels on a carrier…
She’s hot and it’s pro-Trump. Why should they care if it’s real or not if it tickles their…confirmation bias?
Yes, people are really overthinking this. These are enthusiastic Trump voters. It’s not like they voted for Trump, but are otherwise intelligent, rational people in all other respects. The same disordered thinking that led to their voting choices impacts every aspect of their lives.
Thanks for all the checks
Even without the technical knowledge of military uniforms, one look at any of these and my mind is just screaming “probably fake”.
IDK why exactly.
I think it’s mostly that she’s so young and beautiful and doesn’t have that vapid dead-behind-the-eyes look that most MAGA women do. She looks like a happy vivacious young woman, not like a highly decorated military officer.
IDK how to say this but if women like her actually existed we would already be overrun with real photos of them in the oval office.
The other red flags that don’t require technical knowledge that trip the “probably fake” alert buzzer:
Who takes a selfie with POTUS in the oval office?
Why is she wearing a crop top that looks like it’s from cost-co?
Why is she standing around on a ship in high heels looking serious?
Why is she walking around on a military base with Trump without the usual entourage?
