AI Odyssey Parody Casts JD Vance as Cyclops as Creator Builds 100s of Mocking Videos

Summary
A new AI-generated "Odyssey" parody depicts JD Vance as the Cyclops, with the vice president shown trapping Odysseus's men, chugging hot dog water and later suffering pink eye in a crude gag.
NostromoCore, the account behind the video, has already posted hundreds of AI clips mocking Vance and built an audience in the hundreds of thousands across Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.
The video lands in a broader AI culture-war fight, using the same generative tools that Elon Musk and other right-wing figures have used for anti-"woke" propaganda to turn the mockery back on them.
Musk had earlier promised Grok would produce a full-length, Homer-faithful "Odyssey" by year-end after Christopher Nolan's adaptation topped $1 billion, but that project has yet to appear.
