i gather that Y.V., seen speaking in this video, is not a favourite figure in this sub.

to expabd beyond echo chambers and raise cognitive flexibility it is important to engage critically with every side, especially since we’re all european in this sub and are entering world-wide war. so i wanna read some critique on Yanis Varoufakir from here, if you who read this would find it in your interest to share reflections from hearing this video

    I’ve seen portions of these videos. My conclusion was that it was an AI reading a script. It was badly edited with intonation, pauses and sentence breaks all over the place. So who knows who’s content or agenda it is. Doubtful it is Y. V.

      The same video is linked on the official DIEM25 website. I agree that the editing makes it look and sound a bit odd, but this still seems to be a legit video and not some AI slop.

        From what little I’ve seen, DiEM25 aren’t a very legitimate movement to start with, it being on their website means nothing for its credibility.

          It definitely is a legitimate movement. And why would their official channels contain an AI video of Yanis, when he is the founder of DiEM25 and could just as well speak in person, as he has done countless times before?

              It is a video posted on the official DIEM25 YT channel, shared on the official DIEM25 website, depicting a well known founding member of DIEM25 addressing DIEM25 supporters. This video is not AI slop by some random person 🤷

                  And you fail basic reading comprehension on what my original reply was about. Go troll someone else.

                    I responded directly to and argued your original reply. You said:

                    It’s their official source so it must be legit.

                    I said:

                    Their official source doesn’t even make it legit.
