An AI version of Elon Musk reimagined as a Ming dynasty secret agent in a Chinese video clip has gone viral, highlighting the significance of DOGE efficiency through kung fu.
Recently, a netizen known as “Dark Tone” created an AI-modified clip of a 2011 Chinese martial arts film and uploaded it to Bilibili, China’s equivalent of YouTube.
The first 3D martial arts film in mainland China, Flying Swords of Dragon Gate, narrates the tale of a swordsman battling against two secret service agencies established by the Emperor during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644).
Historical records reveal that the Ming emperors founded two intelligence agencies, the Eastern and Western Depots, to suppress the populace and eliminate political adversaries through ruthless tactics.
The Eastern Depot was responsible for surveillance, arrests, and interrogations, while the Western Depot focused on domestic and foreign intelligence to uphold national security.
Both agencies were managed by eunuchs, who were in constant rivalry to enhance their power.
