Then we look at Explosive Media, an Iranian-state backed media collective's, use of AI Legos to call Trump, Hegseth, and anyone else they hate every insult under the sun.What does this mean for the future of communication? What does this mean for the future of war? What does this mean for our own sanity? Find out here.Want to follow along? Check out this document for links to the various videos we cover.
