In Trump's latest Truth Social post, he shares a disgusting video depicting a golden statue of himself, a sky scraper with his name on it, a superyacht on the Gaza coast, him holding hands with a female entertainer in a night club wearing a see-through gown, him & Netanyahu shirtless together sipping alcohol on the Gaza coast with a sign that says "Trump Gaza," and money raining down with kids jumping up to grab it.

All the signs of what many would call the antichrist, yet the religious-right is convinced he's their savior. He wants to turn Gaza into a Las Vegas style resort with his name plastered everywhere.

What AI video technology was used to create this video? It's further along than I thought AI was at at this point. Are we sure this was entirely AI?

OpenAI released much more impressive demo videos last year, and I think Sora is available to the public now. I don't think most proprietary models/systems allow you to use public figures though, so it's probably an open-source system.

This is what I remember of last year's Sora demo. Fun, but... not quite there yet.

Yeah, those were the problematic cases they highlighted. Image/video generation usually involves generating many permutations, perhaps adjusting prompts, and just keeping/editing the parts they want. The Trump video is likely made up of many edited clips from many different prompts, after discarding many more, not just one prompt. The song may be one prompt; haven't played around with music generation myself.

Well some people agree Netanyahu & Trump are secret lovers.
