This video of Brad Pitt fighting Tom Cruise and angry about killing Epstein looks completely real. It's not. It's AI. ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 generates this in minutes. Think about what this means for the next election. [video]

⚡️There is no going back. What's happening here is a terminal shift in how humans interface with reality. When anyone can generate footage of anything and the outputs feel real in the body, the boundary between witnessing and imagining disappears. This is a perceptual severing.

Not to be a pedant but this particular clip being the focus is weird considering it's *not* infringing any particular work. It's just using actors faces.
