    “We’re making propaganda for fun. Join us, it’s comfy,” the 4chan thread instructs. “MAKE, EDIT, SHARE.”

    It’s just some random fun, guys; it’s not at all a coordinated campaign by white supremacist fascists to inundate people with racist and fascist propaganda.

      No, it’s the next insidious plot of the notorious hacker known as 4chan.

      We’re making propaganda… Join us… the 4chan thread instructs

      So the campaign is coordinated

      4chan

      The visual guide instructs potential posters to create images that are “Funny, provocative. Redpilling message (Jews involved in 9/11). Easy to Understand.” Under an image that shows a crying Pepe the frog with a needle next to its arm and a gun pointed to his head, the guide says “vaccines enforced by violence.” Under an AI-generated image of two Black men with gold chains chasing a white woman, the guide said “redpilling message (migrant crime in scandinavia).”

      So they’re white supremacist fascists

      MAKE, EDIT, SHARE

      So they are inundating people with it

      whether you think it’s random fun or not is subjective, but the way they’ve described it is accurate.

    Sounds like some people still need to learn about the goat fucker corollary: if you fuck a goat as a joke, you’re a goat fucker. There’s no “irony” or “just trolling” exception.

      Even during those times and before they were doing butt sharpies and pools closed. 4chan had always been for the mindless cheap lulz

    I miss the times when they sent Pitbull to Alaska or Taylor Swift to a deaf school. Hell, I even miss Boaty McBoat face.

    At least those were fun and interesting.

      That was around the time they turned Tay the twitter AI into a racist woman hater. 4chan has always been just…chaos. Sometimes they do evil. Sometimes they do good.

      Like one time they used their autism powers to blow up Syrian rebels? But also around that same time they just…broke Shia LaBeouf.

    “Flood the internet” apparently means making shit for other trolls and posting it on an image board for trolls.

    Oh look it’s exactly what I predicted with generative AI. We’ve wound the clocks back to 2014, when Russia used 4chan and reddit to fuel organized campaigns of hatred that paved the way for the alt right, Trump, and his ilk.

    Really? We’re doing this again?

    Haven’t we all learned by now that there will always be a part of 4chan that will do something bad purely because they think it’s funny? Just ignore these people. If we don’t give them attention and doom about them, the five people on the site being little contrarians will get bored in a week, and they’ll stop doing their stupid racism garbage.

    Simple as.

    What this group of people do not realize is that they are truly not as anonymous as they think especially as AI gets more and more powerful. I look forward to the day they are all exposed along with others who think it is “fun” to be an asshole online.

    4channer post method of tricking 4chaners into doing things that might get them fired, for the lols

  • @throws_lemy American culture is centered around niggers. They have holidays for niggers. They killed hundreds of thousands of white men to free niggers. They listen to nigger music. They elect a nigger as their president. They dress and act like niggers. They draw the entirety of their modern culture from niggers. They post sassy gifs about niggers. They watch sportsball in worship of niggers. Their biggest event of the year involves throwing parties in honor of niggers playing sports. They use nigger slang like “bruh” and “thot”. When you say “Martin Luther” they’re not thinking of the father of protestantism. They’re thinking of the nigger. Their cities are completely overrun with niggers. They worship their ZOGbot police force disproportionately filled with niggers and their global police force of soldiers filled with niggers. Their men sit around watching nigger ball while their women sit around watching nigger talk shows and fantasizing about nigger dick. They worship niggers like Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson and the late Eddie Murphy while attacking the whites who actually built their country before niggers took over. Their movies are filled with niggers and their music charts are topped by niggers. They send niggers to the Olympics and celebrate when the niggers win because those niggers are true red blooded american niggers. They watch nigger porn to a point where “BBC” does not make them think of an international media company but about nigger penises instead. They will tell you how much they hate niggers and how the mutt’s law meme is a stale joke and they are just pretending to love niggers but the evidence speaks for itself in that America has always been and will be a nation of nigger loving niggers.

    I guess you’d call this growing pains, and it’s good this happens this early and is being done in such a manner. There’s just no way to reason with corporate, you have to point a gun at its head to make it move.

      There was a way to exploit the flaws in generative AI without actually contributing to propaganda and disinformation machines. Believe it or not, the “Mickey Mouse holding a Garand” in Facebook’s AI stickers would be preferable to show corporations how AI can harm their business interests in the hopes they drop it or reform it.
