"Loosely organized groups of self-described right-wing trolls and “memers” have long posted flattering portraits of President Trump, portraying him as a war hero, a rock star or a muscular comic book vigilante. Their pro-Trump content, for the most part, was not heavily viewed.

Mr. Trump is bringing them into the mainstream.

Mr. Trump has been sharing memes online since his first term, but artificial intelligence has made it far easier to generate them. In recent months, Mr. Trump has reposted more than 20 A.I.-generated images and videos, some of them produced by members of online communities dedicated to sharing their experiments with the technology. One video he shared on Truth Social showed him doffing a crown like a king. Another depicted him as a fighter pilot dropping what looked like excrement on protesters.

“WOWWW!!,” the account behind the fake pilot video posted after Mr. Trump amplified it on Truth Social. “This is incredible.”

The New York Times examined the online ecosystem of A.I. aficionados who have organized into communities devoted to praising the president. Hundreds of users, posting anonymously each day, have produced thousands of artificial intelligence-powered videos and images displaying their fondness for the Trump administration and mocking the president’s enemies. Their work is often crude and sometimes racist.

Mr. Trump has, at times, reposted their work to his social feeds, catapulting the memes from the periphery of political discourse to its center and upending traditional pathways to influence."

24-48 hours after release of chatgpt 4o imagegen, with a gpu-melting wave of Studio Ghibli images created, a new memecoin is launched. It's been picked up by major exchanges like Kraken for trading.

"Ghiblification (GHIBLI)
GHIBLI is the viral memecoin inspired by Studio Ghibli and the AI-generated art craze sparked by OpenAI’s 4o model. Launched on Ethereum and Solana, it taps into nostalgia-driven internet culture. With $21M market cap and $70M in 24h volume, GHIBLI thrives on speculative momentum and trend-chasing memetic value."

I showed #chatgpt this picture of an #aigenerated #cat. At the end, UNPROMPTED, it said:

“Honestly, this cat has more road presence than some human drivers. But considering that it likely doesn’t signal, has zero regard for speed limits, and is easily distracted by birds, it might just be your typical BMW driver.”

Ffs 🤣😂
