Apparently gen AI has been so saturated with Charlie Kirk memes that people now joke that any bit of AI code has Kirk in it. And since Epic has used AI code in the launcher, it means some of Kirk is in the launcher
Yeah I don't get why people think this, is it because of that meme image of Harry and Hermione's wedding? Are people that gullible to think that a random Charlie Kirk will appear in AI pictures? lol
It was true for a very short time during the kirkification trend, because there legitimately was a massive slew of Kirk images in the training data, but that was for like, a week, and right after the AI got normal images again and stopped slipping Kirk in the background of things.

Assuming results are true - honestly, I wouldnt be surprised - why would I care if Epic Store is still worthless piece of shit lol? It opens faster, why? So I can close it faster?
serious question though, how did vibe coding flip from a pejorative term to something to gloat about in like a month? it started out as a way to denounce low effort AI coding full of bugs and it turned into some quirky marketing bandwagon phrase seemingly overnight
No, it's still considered a bad thing by everyone in an enterprise setting. It's only impressive when it's your buddy with limited coding knowledge putting together something cool they couldn't have made alone. Even then it's still treated like, "yeah, I vibe coded it, but it's still pretty cool right?" I have no clue why Epic would brag about this.
from what i'm gathering, people seem to think ai has been "poisoned" by charlie kirk because of the number of memes generated about him since his death using ai. because epic games vibe coded their new launcher people think it contains charlie kirk (whatever that means), which i'm assuming is satirical because otherwise it's a complete misunderstanding of programming and ai.
This is the stupidest shit I've ever heard and I'm actually sad I went this deep into the comments to figure out what is going on. I need to re-evaluate what I'm doing with my life.
And yet (afaik) there's still no setting it to open to your library/literally any other tab, and no support for linux (maybe the engine itself does, but steam has proton)
There's a meme going around about how any male face generated or enhanced through LLMs ends up looking like Charlie Kirk. The meme implies Charlie Kirk is now inside the launcher because the launcher was generated.
To elaborate one step further, the joke is that so many people have AI generated Kirk memes, that the datasets AI use have been permanently polluted with Kirkn and every AI generated thing from now on has a tiny bit of Kirk in it
Before his dead I only knew him as the toilet paper dude with the tiny face, I vaguely knew he was a right wing think tank but those bighead memes were his only legacy for me.
Honestly, I don't think his fans even liked him because his body was still warm when they started blaming liberals. His wife at least waited a couple of days to start milking his assassination.
I have empathy for his children, and in the manner in which he died, but not the individual, have no idea what kind of father he was, but regardless no man should be given death in such a way before his time, and his children should not have to grow up without a father
However he himself was not the greatest of people, and was hateful and so on, I don’t think he should’ve died that way, but he died as a direct result of the rhetoric he spouted
Death like that can lead to issues, and we should be able to discuss our differences in a much more tolerant way, but when one preaches intolerance and hate and its reciprocated in such a way, one can only find it ironic
Not defending the guy by a long shot, but part of me assumes that's just political posturing. If push came to shove I believe he'd go the route of "the only moral abortion is my abortion". Not much better and Doesn't change much in the grand scheme of things but yeah 🤷♀️
That's even worse. To be so evil that you'd influence others to do evil that you're too cowardly to do yourself. Either way, fuck this hateful bastard. His children did not ask for this but he gave it to them. It's on him.
But why assume that when he’s said otherwise, take people at their word. Kirkensteins monster doesn’t really need people running interference for his legacy.
Ehh, dude died a pretty quick death, his blood was splurting out like out of a fountain, looks like the shooter hit the carotis artery. That's like 2 minutes worth of dying, and at least half of that unconscious from the blood not reaching the head anymore.
Also, according to him, for the right to have guns, sometimes people have to die, so he most likely would've been ok with that if asked. Unless he was a massive hypocrite, of course.
It's the death he would have wanted. When asked about children dying in school shootings he said it was worth some deaths to keep the 2nd amendment rights and said that children should be forced to watch executions to make them tougher.
What’s insane to me is that it’s going to be the guy’s entire legacy.
He was 31 when he died and basically accomplished nothing but being a shill for Trump.
His children will see memes of their dead dad for the rest of their lives and that will be their entire frame of reference for him.
That he was a goon for trump, got shot on live TV, and was hated and reviled so much that the only thing to survive of him in history will be shitty AI memes.
Turning Point has been instrumental in the rise of MAGA and White Nationalist Christofascism in the US, which has harmed the entire world. He was more than just a shill for Trump. He is a major reason we are where we are.
I think its better he became a meme instead of a martyr for the the far right. The right wing echo chamber was calling for blood and using Kirk as a rallying call.
Thankfully the calls were crowded out by memes of him in everyday media.
But yeah its sort of weird that his kids will see his legacy of hate and racism be overshadowed by his weird wife and memes
Its fucking hilarious though. Bro got a literal divine punishment. Essentially a fake person with no real values or beliefs of his own, transformed into a literal fake person and doomed to say whatever people want for all eternity
in what world is a quickly cobbled together vibe coded product the best way to compete with the largest, most tested and used game launcher for PC games? who thought this was the solution?
Charlie Kirk’s face was used in so many memes that machine learning algorithms (that use internet memes as part of their data set) are more likely to generate faces that look like him. A ghost in the machine if you will.
People fed Charlie Kirk into AI generation models so much that it is easy to get his face to appear accidentally. It's also a long running joke that his soul is trapped in these Data centers as a form of hell.
Apparently people are saying that Kirk images have been fed to ai so much that a little influence from those pictures is added into everything the ai makes
God damnit this too me too long to piece together. Because of a meme, zoomers have decided that Charlie Kirk is synonomous with AI now so they're interchanging the name and term.
This meme is referencing how epic launcher used AI for the code so it's implying that because Charlie Kirk is so ubiquitous on the internet, and because people seem to think that AIs are trained by just feeding raw internet material into them, that Charlie Kirk is part of the Epic launcher.
And I can't find a single comment here that is able to articulate that because zoomers can read anymore.

Ironic, since almost all the top comments that were made hours before yours manage to explain it. Sorry bud, you got infected with the illiteritis too.
