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.

      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.

    Sometimes I really wish I had the time and energy to get in on this grift. These dumbfucks are the easiest people on the planet to rob. I just need a truckload full of shitty, Chinese made MAGA merch and a stand at some county fair, and I’d be fucking rich. Unfortunately, I have no desire whatsoever to be associated in any way with these fascist shit stains. The money is just not worth having that stench rub off on me.

      There have to have been a lot of people in MAGA that thought this way at one point that got a bit too close to the event horizon and got sucked in. If you play a character full time, you eventually realize you’re no longer acting.

    Yeah but it’s strictly a grift. Which makes me say good for them. We should all be so industriously fleecing these pithed fascist supporters.

      Plus, unrealistic standards just shrinks their already small dating pool. With a bit of luck evolution will take care of the fascists all on its own.

    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.

            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…

    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.
