"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Moon denialists

I know what they mean, but moon denialism would be much funnier than moon mission denialism. I want to start a counter-conspiracy theory that the Artemis II mission was real, but they had to edit the moon into all of the footage because the moon doesn't exist.

I favor the conspiracy theory where the Artemis II mission went to visit the lizard people on their lunar complex.

Very important stuff, you see. The lizards own our souls, and keep us imprisoned on Earth, so Trump sent the team to the Moon to strike a new deal with the lizards.

Which reminds me. I wonder when Trump will launch an invasion of the Moon and claim our souls for himself?

All you have to do it say it with gusto and confidence and that makes it real, seems to work on dipshits pretty well.

I fuckin’ love it.

But what was there to “catch” Artemis II and throw it back to Earth? A death star?! 🤣

Flooding the zone with disinformation is something we will continue to see more of.

More likely, someone not convinced of the conspiracy theory generates it, maybe as a grifter thing to manipulate the conspiracy theorists or just for views, and then the moon deniers find it, think that its stuff NASA actually released, and then point out the obvious signs of it being fake to confirm their worldview.

That's it I'm joining the Flat Moon Society.

"the Earth isn't real!"

[–] warm@kbin.earth 12 points 1 day ago

You can watch it happening with your own eyes, looking outside, how can anyone deny it? (I get that it's for attention)

Is this moon denialists creating this? Or other groups that benefit from creating content to suck even more people into the conspiracy theorist pipeline?

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago

I would say the latter because when these conspiracists actually decide to use science to disprove they find out that it was just a conspiracy.

Why do they even think it's not possible to fly to the moon? It's hardly the most difficult thing in the world these days.

There is no single "flat earth" theory or explanation as they never agree with each other, but one of the more common "arguments" is that it's impossible to leave the earth because of the solid "firmament" that the earth is supposedly contained within.

They point at video of rocket launches that curve away as "proof" that the rockets all tipped over and ditched in the ocean, when in fact that is clear proof of a spherical planet.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

these aren't moon denialist. these are "content creators".

the moon denialists are the ones watching the content.

[–] spitfire@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I hope they just fall off fromthe edge of flat earth

Those morons are still here, thinking it's all fake as the last time?
