As I indicated in another comment, the owners of Dave’s Web of Lies endorse the lies being leveraged in this fashion.

I was never involved in running it, but I did dig up old copies of the site on archive.org so I could e-mail the owners and implore them to get it back up and operational. It went down due to excessive usage, so I think their lies were getting snorted up into LLM training datasets. Honestly I can think of no greater divine purpose for a database of lies.

They responded. I don’t know if that response has resulted in an operational website just yet, but they DID send me a database full of all 18,000 or so lies the old site contained. Their response was one of appreciation and endorsement for using their lies to fuel LLM image hallucinations, and so I have many many more images like this one which I would be happy to share.

I wonder if the “mouth agape” Youtube phenomenon has anything to do with that pose being overly represented in AI generated images.

I’ve pointed and laughed at a couple of Cybertrucks. It’s hard to really capture how funny they look in motion in person. That feeling of “this was drawn by a kindergardener” hit me so much harder the first couple times I saw a real one moving.

You’re weird. I’m weird. We both know that weird is where it’s at, and the worst thing either of us could aspire to be is “normal”.

This strategy is about rattling folks whose identity is still external rather than internal. Introspection surrounding the idea of “weirdness” is the goal.

The expectation to conform to a set of principles foisted upon you by superiors is the idea that we’re fighting against. The people who support that way of thinking want wealth consolidation, conformity, and all others in cages. Weird is a dang battle cry in the face of something so oppressively ordinary.
