Will There be Another Game Company Like Blizzard?

But you don’t even need to know what the real Cinderella’s Caste looks like to know it’s fake. Just zoom in on the turrets of the building itself. They’re not rendered completely, and some appear at very odd angles that make it clear these are AI-generated images.
The images quickly made their way back to X, the site formerly known as Twitter before it was purchased by Elon Musk. And it’s impossible to overstate just how awful that platform has become. From Holocaust denial tweets that are getting millions of views to breaking news tweets that show AI images of children crying, the whole place is bubbling over with garbage.
The fake images of Disney World were shared by right-wing influencer Mario Nawfal, a frequent purveyor of misinformation who’s often retweeted by Musk himself. As just one recent example, Nawfal contributed to a Jimmy Carter death hoax in July that was shared by other idiots like Laura Loomer and Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah. Nawfal’s tweet helped spread the fake Disney photos even further on X before he finally deleted them.
There were also videos shared on TikTok showing incredibly over-the-top images of destruction at Disney World, like this one shared by user @joysparkleshine. The video appears to have been originally created as a joke by an account called MouseTrapNews but is getting reposted and stripped of all context, taken seriously by a certain segment of the population.
