deepfake

just point it to ilx tbh

that's true for all of us! hmmm

maybe this tech could specify certain years or decades that it should NOT draw upon for the text

ai is so smart and powerful now i'm sure it could be like, "hmmmm that sounds painful and awkward, imma skip that one"

If I were a famous public figure I would record tons of random footage/speeches/whatever to be used after I die, scenes for movies not yet written and so on. Heck, if Bruce Willis can record all his scenes in one day for boilerplate action movies, yet alone Yul Brynner for posthumous smoking PSAs, the sky is the limit. Like, whenever I was bored I'd record three minutes of myself talking about, I dunno, frogs or something and just add it to the pile. then after I die, if someone has a use for it and wants to pay my estate, go for it.

the painful ai rejection

xp josh if i understand correctly, bruce willis wouldn't even have to record him saying his scenes. they could just take the boilerplate action movie text and apply the voice of bruce willis to it.

"get in the car!"
"i'm fine"
"he's getting away!"
"fuck!"

bruce willis is sitting pretty right now in other words

the question is, would bruce's literary executor sign off on it

*voice of bruce's literary executor, formless but clearly heard in surround sound*

"yes, the willis estate hereby signs off on that"

Yeah, but Bruce could sell official, verified posthumous content. Like, you could get a cheap knockoff off AI Bruce saying "get in the car," or exclusive unseen footage of Bruce saying "get in the car" for big, big bucks.

"fuck, i need to reload! get in the car! we've got to get out of here - to go to the ANNUAL CONVENTION OF HONDA SALES REPS, WESTERN GREAT LAKES REGION, WELCOME SALES REPS, PICK UP YOUR FREE GIFT BAG AT CHECK-IN DESK!"

some artschool wag is going to release an indie film with the voices of The Rock and Emily Blunt and get it into MOMA

That movie already exists, it's called The Jungle Cruise.

but does it exist REALLY

the dead speak! it’s ghastly, dead people should be left alone unless they’ve clearly specified that they want their voices used for hilarious pranks or whatnot. the tech could be a godsend for living people who have lost their voice tho!

not that that’s likely to be its primary function when there are dead singers to milk. countdown to billie holliday’s rendition of 1-800 cars 4 kids has begun, the future is some weird shit.

there's a "singing for Pepsi" line available in Neil Young's voice already

I don't endorse the misuses but. When I first became aware of the technology it was in the context of hearing my son speak in his own voice.

Isn't this kinda what Roger Ebert was going for after he lost his ability to speak?

Happy belated tenth birthday to this article

Still speaking to us from the past.

here's a newer article: https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/06/tech/tom-cruise-deepfake-tiktok-company/index.html

it's pretty gross how common it is for AI tech companies to pivot from extremely useful medical purposes to some boundary-violating shite that makes money (e.g., most "emotion recognition" start-ups)

Matt Stone talking about what they're going to do with the money from their new South Park deal: "We’re doing deep fakes. We have a studio with a dozen people who are deep fake artists. We’re working on a little more of this deep fake movie we’re trying to piece together."

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

are they remaking GTA3 again

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

not really a deepfake? but I've been having fun with

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

https://www.twitch.tv/atheneaiheroes

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?

bump

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.
