The colons don't behave like that when flying because you have a tension exactly as much as your weight and it will vibrate and jiggle as it is rare to have perfect laminar flow especially over land(it gets more stable at hight altitudes but not that stable). Also, you are supposed to have 30 to 60 kph wind blowing at you all the time because that's how you stay airborn which means the handles and all kind of fiber and attachments will constantly move.
We were told stories about people who actually went to that altitude after being sucked by a cumulonimbus cloud and survived, so it's probably not impossible but this video screams fake at the second you look at it.
I'm surprised anybody bought it and I will be very surprised if it turns to be real. I find the one with the donkey much more convincing.
At least it has some wind and tension: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xqWN3h32wrA

At least in the US, while the law is followed, this is not legal, the State will have to prove it wasn't AI. They're required to assume it's not you, and prove that it is.
The system is flawed of course and I'm not saying it always plays out like this in the real world, but the more we remember and repeat the laws they are supposed to follow, I think anyway, the greater chance we can hold those in power to the laws to which they are supposed to be held
Fun times ahead !
Epstein didn't kill himself, nor is he dead. He's living out his retirement on another pedo island, as a reward for a kompromate job well done.
I get the conspiracy that he was killed by people with something to cover up. But what is the motivation for rewarding him?
Unless you suppose he has a very compelling dead man's switch?
(Not saying that he was, just that it seems the much more plausible theory than the reward one.)
The whole concept of ‘video evidence’ is going up in smoke.
I’m thinking back to various things like the videos of people being beaten up by the police, or that audio clip of trump talking about grabbing women.
Would any of these things carry the same weight today? And how much weight will they have by the next election?
Eve just being able to plausibly say ‘nah it’s just AI’ adds enough reasonable doubt that a lot of people will not believe it.
are you talking legally?
not sure why that would be the case. Courts accept documents which can be forged. Doing that would be a crime.
Fabricating video absolutely became easier. But it's not so much about your video skills, you can buy those. It's about your organization and planning skills. Even a hilariously incompetent and unorganized entity with a lack of foresight can now fabricate reasonably convincing video
Counsel comes to you with footage, you create equally-plausible false footage to highlight how the original is doubtable.
If you recall, when Epstein was arrested and awaiting trial, the media repeated the narrative that "deep fakes" were coming out now and some videos are completely fake.
It was never said in reference to Epstein specifically. But they were two independent stories at the same time. Almost as if it were a preparation for damage control should some compromising material be released.
Either way, we're cooked.
