Hold on, I think I’ve heard this before:

Your subconscious mind has been eroded by dangerous addictive media. To wean you from this addiction, we will trick your mind using its conditioned response to your advantage.

By providing the correct external cues, Cleartape provides a way to reduce the symptoms of media damage. You will have been issued a Cleartape.

Put the Tape into your tape deck and press play. At first it is normal to hear only background static. After several sessions you may hear a voice.

I found the original tweet twitter.com/OrphicCapital/…/1771672659534700640

Can’t find anything else about what the interview is, the question that was asked, who asked it, …

If she has a background in robotics prior to her acting career I see no reason to believe this is fake, but the way it’s being presented it sure does seem like the point is to make us laugh at her, which is fucked up

EDIT: twitter.com/OrphicCapital/…/1771921747652079950 okay never mind this guy is just trolling, this sucks tbh

captainlezbian,

If anything I trust a roboticist less than an actress on psychology

qaz,

Just looked up “memetics” and found the “Memetic warfare” article on Wikipedia:

Memetic warfare has been seriously studied as an important concept with respects to information warfare by NATO’s Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence. Jeff Giesea, writing in NATO’s Stratcom COE Defense Strategic Communications journal, defines memetic warfare as “competition over narrative, ideas, and social control in a social-media battlefield. One might think of it as a subset of ‘information operations’ tailored to social media. Information operations involve the collection and dissemination of information to establish a competitive advantage over an opponent”.[3][4] According to Jacob Siegel, “Memes appear to function like the IEDs of information warfare. They are natural tools of an insurgency; great for blowing things up, but likely to sabotage the desired effects when handled by the larger actor in an asymmetric conflict.”[5]

ChicoSuave,

Think about how many times you get the news from memes. You never question the source because you go find an article to get more info. But that meme already influenced how you approached the subject. Whether or not the picture is real, memes are information warfare.

VirtualOdour,

I don’t understand, do you think this is funny because she’s pretty and you therefore assume she’s dumb?

4am,

Right-wingers wrote an article making the case that because she had shown cleavage at a red carpet event it proved that “woke is dead”.

No, I’m not exaggerating. They’re that stupid.

wellee,

Yea I’m really confused lol. I don’t know who this is or why everyone is laughing at her? What she stated seems fine?

I’m guessing she didn’t say any of that. Her name and photo is just used as a clickbait.

Meta meme.

VirtualOdour,

Oh because she’s pretty you think she must be dumb?

Misogyny comes so easily to some people I guess.

Would you call it misandry if it was photo of Chris Hemsworth instead?

RizzRustbolt,

That would be the surface read, yes. But if you come at it from the angle that anyone can be smart, you start to realize that it comes off more as an indictment of the rise of computer generated content in modern social media.

And then you see that it’s actually fake AI generated doublespeak.

VirtualOdour,

It wouldn’t work if it was zizek or even Joe Rogan, but this well educated and intelligent woman saying it works? There is only one possible reason for that and it’s misogyny.

its more a parody of all the clickbait and really absurd articles about some celebrities. i dont assume shes dumb because shes pretty, its funny because articles and posts like these would never actually have any insightful commentary, its irony

VirtualOdour,

Yeah, if that’s how you feel I’m glad but you must surely recognize that it plays into common sexist tropes to help create and signal that irony? Being naive of misogyny is almost as bad as supporting it, especially when you’re giving cover and matetial support to those working to further a misogynistic agenda.

I’m not saying you’re a bad person at all I’m just saying that it’s often easy to assume ones own pure motives are how everyone views things but it’s rarely the case. Also it’s easy to have thinking boiled in that is easier to rationalize away than to confront and question.

FakeGreekGirl,
Starkstruck,

Basically, people are about as vulnerable to misinformation campaigns online as the Native Americans were to all the diseases the colonizers brought over. Most people have no natural defenses against it.

candywashing,

Boss, I’m tired. Is this real?

Rolando,

I suspect not, but I didn’t know who this person was and found out:

In high school, Sweeney was on the Robotics team and participated in the mathematics club ‘Math is Cool.’[11] She studied multiple languages and graduated with top grades, making her valedictorian.[12]

    He’s tired of checking, and so am I. Welcome to the future of the internet

    i_am_tired_boss,

    Hey, that’s my line!

    iiGxC,

    Yes. Most stuff on the internet is real

    psmgx,

    She’s been saying that for years, IIRC

    Evil_Shrubbery,

    Yeah, that’s pretty spot on.

    And it’s so hard to make people understand that.

    potatopotato,

    And she’s right. Can we listen to her instead of the braindead celebs?

    LOL. Boobs.

    wellee,

    Huh?
