Ugh. God..............dammit. Now we all have to suffer through months or years of this dumb shit.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (3 children)

We can always do the "nothing beyond my immediate observation can be trusted" method like the flat earthers do

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

"Were you there?" shudders with rage

[–] just_another_person -1 points 1 month ago

No.

Fuck you for bringing that bullshit up though.

[–] UniversalMonk -3 points 1 month ago

I'm starting to live my life like that now, and it's awesome!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is going to make politics so much more insufferable.

[–] just_another_person 2 points 1 month ago

Not really since in this specific context it's only working with live feeds. I was more talking about the technoweenies finding low-hanging fruit in the Deepfake world to make life more miserable or annoying to people. Scammers, YouTubers, teenage family members...ALL will be annoying everyone using this specific tool any day now.

Thank you for your service, ociffer.

ugh I guess we will just learn to operate under total uncertainty. online media literacy classes for kids have become an urgent need.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's been urgent since the beginning of the rise of electronic mass media a hundred years ago. I'm sure we'll get to it some day.

I had a detecting propaganda workshop when i was a kid in a school in the US. Its not mandatory everywhere, but we do teach these things

[–] iAvicenna 8 points 1 month ago

should be mandatory everywhere and repeated every couple years throughout education because it evolves very fast

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And I don't mean this in any mean way, but how much propaganda did you learn to detect? Like understanding that the american dream is a propaganda?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Me? I thought the class was dumb because it was super obvious. But I'm inherently skeptical, and I do think its important to have for most people who don't think critically.

I can't remember the details, but I suspect it was things like who wrote it? Are the claims cited? Who are they citing? Is it peer reviewed? What is the author trying to convey? What type of language is being used? Who is the target audience? Etc

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Still better than nothing. Although most of those seem to be training people that "who said it" is how truthfulness of a statement should be judged which is exactly backwards.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

The point is to understand the concept of credibility. Who said it matters. Some people have a demonstrated history if credibility. Some people have a demonstrated history of incredibly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

The value of “who said it” is to help you recognize their motivation. Anyone trying to convince you of something has a vested interest in their position. Understanding the speaker is critical in understanding their position.

I guess I’m going to show up to my next meeting with my boss as my boss.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Omg that's a great idea for my next 1 on 1 lol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Just trade faces with a coworker

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Neat, I wonder who I'll be in tomorrow's morning stand up meeting

[–] Asudox 7 points 1 month ago

Shouldn't have shared your face online publicly I guess.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

Great, I'm sure nothing bad is going to come out of this, like everything else deepfake-related.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Presenter: claims there is no 20-minute process to make a video

Presenter: makes a 20-minute presentation of how to get it set up

On a more serious note, this is fucking terrifying.

[–] nucleative 7 points 1 month ago

I thought by now we'd have seen a fuckton of celebrity deepfake nudes and rule 34 porn of every variety, plus apps that let incels create it from pics of their high school crushes/enemies, but it seems like that tidal wave hasn't hit yet.

Or perhaps the legal protections arrived just in time to discourage those with the know-how

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is this not how people have been making deep fakes already? What's different here?

[–] JK_Flip_Flop 12 points 1 month ago

It's the fact that it's in near real time now, older techniques with older hardware would need much longer.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

But Muta, they could do this for a couple years now already thanks to AI.

Besides the joke above, should the government ban deepfake porn ai or the undress ai? Im suprised it hasnt been banned in many places yet as you can take stock photos of many models and put them up there. Should 100% be illegal as its not consent.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Well... that shit's crazy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (3 children)

It's one thing to show it off, it's a whole other to actually show people how to set it up.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

It's literally on github, it's way out of the bag.

[–] Dkarma 6 points 1 month ago

Go sue a library ya prude

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

If it's out of the bag, then it's out of the bag

Now that is a powerful cat
