deepfake

the future is consensual deepfake pornography where people license their perfect bodies out for sex tapes with less attractive people's faces deepfaked onto them

i was surprised there are relatively few of these videos around so far--they said like 14,000. i guess they're still hard enough to make.

dear god

The future is going to be a hellscape

Lmfao

the present is already a hellscape so I don't know why you'd think the future would be any better

this is dumb but surprising how convincing shit is with minimal effort

I hope the video looks more convincing than that screengrab

Err... convincing ?

The voices and faces look accurate. The gestures are really off. With some better acting and costume design this technology could be used to make a really convincing fake—and it has like jordan peele’s obama.

Damn it !

emphasis perhaps less on "convincing" and "how convincing"
goalposts have shifted where absolute minimal effort makes something that might pass on first glance for a layperson

weird here in that i don't see bowie but i also really don't see rannels either... and if i didn't know it was a deepfake i don't think i'd notice the digital manipulation

mother of god

awfully impressive; weird skull rippling tho.

every ilxor would benefit from watching at least the first minute or two of that youtube. just so you know what's coming down the pike at us and how fast it is arriving. one photo is now all that is needed as a source for making a pretty darn good deepfake animation.

keep in mind that the same is quickly becoming true with the audio side of things (one short vocal sample can be used to generate whatever you want that voice to say)

check, please

Holy shit. Terrorism, school shootings, economic depression, pandemic, wars ... deep fakes are going to be the death of us, and I'm not even kidding. I don't know how they'd enforce it, but that shit should be illegal, like cloning or testing medicine on unsuspecting patients.

Better living through continuous technological innovation and capital investment of accumulated surpluses!

this is what Crichton's Red Dawn was about

it was also dumb

In Margaret Atwood's _Oryx and Crake_ you could pretty readily dial up pr0n of Abraham Lincoln and Anne Frank (forget the actual examples but it was similarly OTT).

That stuff seems inevitable. But given the general ... gullibility of everyone, what's going to happen when there is a perfect deep fake of, say, the dumb asshole president saying something totally dangerous and horrible and yet still totally in character?

You mean that thing that was elected president is not a walking talking deepfake?

Okay MAYBE he whips off the mask in October and it was a long-form Andy Kaufman joek all along.

Ha! Gotcha!

I'm trying (not that hard) to even imagine what a convincing Fake Trump would have to say for me to think, wait a minute, this can't be real, can it?

"I'm sorry"

Seriously.

"I was wrong"

"President Obama had the right idea."

If I were some deep-thinking futurist type out to make a buck I'd write a solemn book about how the invention of photography, sound recording, radio, motion pictures and television represented the First Mediated Reality Revolution (nb: the capital letters are a requirement in such books), where for the first time humans could experience reality remotely and extend their senses to any part of the world. I'd blather on a bit about the wonder of all this (nb: it really was wonderous to those who lived through it). The upshot of the book would be that You Can't Trust the Media or Even Trust Your Own Eyes and Ears Any More.

But, absent such a bloviating book, all I can say is that we are definitely entering a new stage in fakery that is going to have widespread political and psychological repercussions. Thank goodness for Real Reality (tm) or we'd all go mad.

imo the danger isn't so much that people will believe lies - you don't need deepfakes to disseminate lies - it's that they won't believe the truth

^^that's already happening

people like my mom already tell me that they don't believe anything anymore. she told me last night, literally, that "we only trust our gut now"

granted, she and my dad are 2 of the dumbest people i have ever met, and i say that as an insult to myself, knowing that i inherited their bottomless stupidity

just remember the mantra: I'm dumb as hell, I accept it, and I will never learn

i don't think it's an intelligence issue. many forces in american society, over many decades, have taught people to feel this way--alone, suspicious of their neighbor, just atomized consumers.

trenchant

granted, she and my dad are 2 of the dumbest people i have ever met, and i say that as an insult to myself, knowing that i inherited their bottomless stupidity

it's true though. we can all yet "trump voters" but they didn't spring up out of the ground like that

or whatever

he's going to have FDR speaking out against lockdowns isn't he

Boy, that's what I'd do with a billion dollars.

who could have predicted this though

From the beginning, deepfakes, or AI-generated synthetic media, have primarily been used to create pornographic representations of women, who often find this psychologically devastating. The original Reddit creator who popularized the technology face-swapped female celebrities’ faces into porn videos. To this day, the research company Sensity AI estimates, between 90% and 95% of all online deepfake videos are nonconsensual porn, and around 90% of those feature women.

you know who does this? crypto dudes, and they're always dudes

Lol

owlkitty amazes and delights each time but it's pleasingly just DIY greenscreen

was gonna say don't think either of those are deepfakes

open to placing elsewhere

I could be wrong, but I think this is a first? As usual this stuff is one part deeply ominous, one part extremely silly

not reposting but the russians apparently put together a fairly shitty Zelenskyy deepfake

trying to play with that but getting "Actor without script is not supported. Check the 1st scene"?

Actor without script is not supported.

rejection letters of the near-future

here's a new one

this is incredible. i've noticed the questions are taken from the chat. is all the chat AI generated as well? or are those real people, and the AI stream is taking their real questions as "food" for the content?

from FB: "UMG doesn’t own the rights so how the hell are they licensing them?"

also #onethread, this could go in the AI threads or the copyright threads or idk, this seemed best

I'm with Super Hans on C*ldplay, and know very little of Idles, but the latter's latest video did mildly amuse/interest me (for the initial cognitive dissonance mainly), even if it's nothing at all groundbreaking.
