An Insta War Between Two ‘Virtual Influencers’ Is Fucking With Our Minds

Welcome to the future, where we don’t have flying cars, teleportation, or a magic microwave that produces a full meal out of a pill, but instead, we have social media accounts of virtual influencers being hacked by other virtual influencers.

Well, that’s a sentence I never imagined ever writing.

The account of Lil Miquela – a virtual influencer and model who promotes multiculturalism and inclusivity – has been overtaken by a Trump–supporting avatar Bermuda, who then deleted all of Miquela’s posts, a replaced them with posts detailing that Miquela is “not real” and that things will be revealed in the coming days.

Sorry but, what the fuck?

These are two AI influencers that have deeply opposing ~views~ on politics and society, and they’re going at each other for reasons that are not yet known but followers are eating it up like it’s a delicious hot breakfast, waiting for that pot of piping hot tea.

It seems that Bermuda has had her eye on taking down Lil Miquela for some time, considering one of her first-ever “selfie” posts directly calls out Lil Miquela, telling her to essentially watch her back.

From what I can gather, Lil Miquela’s content depicted her as a real human but with a computer-modified face, whereas Bermuda is obviously not real whatsoever. Fans of the virtual influencers (virtu-flencers???) are theorising that Bermuda is pressuring Lil Miquela to reveal herself as a wholly-fake influencer as well.

It’s going full-conspiracy people. There’s talk about “unknown lifeforms” and aliens and everything. The discourse, mates. The DISCOURSE.

Every post from Bermuda seems to go further down this cooked rabbit hole that, if anything, is proving that today might just need to be a multiple-coffee day. Please help me, my brain is swimming.

Is this might be the tipping point where the robots take over and we’re all entirely fucked? Maybe it’s an elaborate marketing scheme and a ruse to get you all to buy soylent or something? I honestly don’t know what’s going on but I’m suddenly extremely interested.

Bermuda has now “given” Lil Miquela 48 hours to come clean (about what exactly, I have no idea), otherwise, she’ll do it for her. After leaving the account, Lil Miquela has now restored all of her previously-hidden/deleted posts.

All I know for sure is that everyone needs to log off and go for a long lie-down. Christ, what a mess.
