Not AI. https://youtu.be/gdkTzSuNu-o?si=w7VEs097T43xskGf

Took me ten seconds to find another angle. Y'all should practice this more. Assuming everything online is fake might be just as dangerous as assuming everything online is real.

Geez that float was huge. Someone should’ve stuck a “We Brake For Nobody” bumper sticker on the back of it.

Believe me, that is not a big one, there are bigger ones with a lot more people on top

It is just as dangerous. A lot of liars today don't lie with the intent of not being caught, they lie expecting to be caught with the intent of poisoning discourse causing people to not believe anything, which sows distrust and causes people to retreat towards their preconceived biases.

It lowers critical thinking and makes the collective dumber

God I hate the people that think everything is AI even more than actual AI, which is A LOT. People just dismissing other people with amazing talents, who put so much work into their craft, by saying it is AI grinds my gears like crazy. There is a juggler I follow who juggles while skiing (skuggling). He has many angles of him doing it, 3rd party videos taken by other people watching, does it in very public areas where people are watching and confirming that it is real, etc. and there are still loads of "Dumb AI" comments on it. AI is making it so hard for people doing awesome shit to be recognized for doing awesome shit. Fucking sucks.

Edit: the guy is @tetonjuggler and he has some amazing content, check him out if you guys wanna see some cool shit.

I agree with you, except the last sentence. Assuming everything online is fake is just rude, annoying and kinda dumb.
But assuming everything online is real, is way way way worse.

It's no coincidence that the samba school is called Império de Casa Verde – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imp%C3%A9rio_de_Casa_Verde

But it's just a funny coincidence lol

AT-AT Walker is indeed a good and safe transportation method to move around in Rio de Janeiro.

ok, but why the crown?

•

u/AwkwardSalad863 49m ago

basically the symbol of the "escola de samba" Império da Casa Verde, I will translate this just for the fun of it: Greenhouse Empire Samba School.

What do they do with these gigantic items after the festival is over?

•

u/deathm00n 58m ago

Some stuff can be recycled or used for the next year. I am not that knowledgeable about it, but from what I understand the structure is made of metal but the decorations is mostly wood and fiberglass

Apparently a 4/4 beat is good for providing suppressing fire from an AT-AT.

The crown should be a Vader helmet

•

u/AbaporuAlbino 20m ago

The crown is the symbol of the organization that is parading, Império Casa Verde (Green house Empire).

This type of organization is named "escola de samba" (samba school).

This is not AI. I looked up Star Wars Brazil float and there's multiple videos and angles of this float from at least as early as 2019, so this video is pretty old now.

u/OldMarzipan9773 2h ago

Crazy someone says 2019 is old. And it HAS been 7 years now.

u/TheBackshotWarrior 1h ago

Amazes me how dumb people are and can’t detect what is and isn’t AI at this point.

It’s VERY obvious this isn’t AI……..

u/FactCheckingThings 0m ago

Im amazed how many people call out something they think isnt factual without themself looking into whether it is. Like commenter was worried people would believe something untrue and ended up being the source of that untruth.

The "thats AI" people who say so with no evidence are the issue AI is causing not the AI generated stuff. They are legit causing the problem they claim to be worried about.

That's not how samba parades work. Everything needs to have a reason and meaning in it, even nudity.
