the correlation between the vocal inflections and the changes of facial expression and head tilts are pretty impressive and yet I wonder what the design team thought the eventual application would be, because I can't think of any that aren't bad for humans.

the design team isn’t thinking about humans. starting to truly believe that most people in involved in this sector don’t think or care about humans tbh

fwiw from the caring about humans pov doesnt seem like theyre going to release this its just research, which obvs isnt nothing but its also not giving the program to scammers et al

maybe i'm cynical, but i'm not sure deepfakes will really change anything. i feel like in this world, there's a tendency for people to believe what they want to believe - "evidence" is just taken to confirm or deny pre-existing emotional narratives. or maybe i'm the reverse of cynical - if someone is truly going to critically evaluate information, that includes considering the source. maybe i'm wrong here, though. "change my mind"! lol.

someone said that the biggest effect of deepfakes wont be people believing that fake things are real rather that real things are fake which sounds right to me

I mean we're going to pretty soon reach a point where generated photos or video footage will be indistinguishable from real photos and video. The logical step for a lot of people will be to just not believe anything anymore. We're heading toward a dark age.

To me, VFX in movies already jumped the shark of being too realistic for its own good -- the new Dune looks faker and takes you out of the narrative than the matte paintings + puppetry of Lynch's version even though objectively it's much less so.

last week i learned that hollywood still uses a lot of backdrops rather than greenscreen but instead of being painted the scenery is photographed at very high resolution and then screenprinted onto the backdrop and lit, and it looks better and more natural than greenscreen

here's a question: what can be done about it (another question: what is 'it')
the only answer i've found is to go in the opposite direction: learn or relearn how to do make and appreciate things that are handmade by humans, and spend more time outside. i don't do either of those things nearly as much as i want to, but that is the general direction i would like to face. the glimpses i've seen of computers emulating reality and the human experience increasingly resembling a computer have not been good

in my childhood i always thought about the rapture and people just disappearing, or hopefully me disappearing, and what it would like to be Left Behind starring Kirk Cameron. the rapture is probably not going to happen, but people effectively integrating themselves with computers - in the day-to-day things we do, work and entertainment, leisure, sleep; people thinking like computers, endlessly optimizing, referring to parts of the mind and body in computer metaphors; or even physically - imagine all the VR/AR stuff actually working and hundreds of millions of people inside of those headsets - is kind of like the tech rapture we no one anticipated or wanted but that we deserve

this is kind of tongue and cheek and miiiiight sound a little fascist, but you know how various space programs are trying to industrialize the moon? what if everyone that deeply does not want to upload themselves into the metaverse stays here on earth (which rules, for the most part), and then the people who want to be in the matrix can just put their pods on the moon, by the mining facilities?

re: Dune, the VFX is great but when it's deployed to show you impossible images your brain clocks it as faker than more obviously fake attempts. Arrival had more "tasteful" (though did they really need to CG a beach house?) use of VFX:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGMl_2WUq1M

thought about making a "joke" response of "hey as long as she tells me i'm pretty and doesn't threaten to kill herself, i'd settle for an AI waifu" and now i'm thinking. yeah but what if for real...
not a _girlfriend_ or nothing, but, like... the first AI posed as a therapist which just took whatever the user said and turned it back on them, just asking them questions without processing the answers
like i got BPD, i got super low self-esteem and i think and say some fucked up shit sometimes, and sometimes i gotta, like, tell somebody, which usually doesn't go well. in full-fidelity DBT, one of the things they have as a 24/7 emergency hotline, and it's necessary because i historically got a tendency for everything to be a crisis and need to be talked down, like, a lot. i'm doing better, i'm learning some skills, but i still ain't great at it all the time.
y'all ever try and call a suicide hotline? it's not a great experience. people do what they can but what they can is, like, not really jack shit. all they can really do is listen, and if you start spiraling, a lot of times they call the cops on you. someone put some work into it and some thought you could probably design a mental health AI that isn't gonna replace a professional, but can help people out who don't have access to professionals, which is a lot of us, a lot of the time.
i mean nobody's gonna do that, someone calls an AI bot and then kills themselves there's gonna be some kind of lawsuit, which is why we have the situation we do now, where when someone's suicidal everybody cuts stops talking to them, because they're afraid of being held responsible if someone kills themselves. fantastic system. works great. no downsides.

Watched Rear Window, The Thing, Alien, The Third Man and the The Taking of Pelham One Two Three over five nights a few weeks ago and got in a funk that movies are just never going to look cool again.
I didn't mind Dune 1 to my surprise but just knowing how much CGI there is in almost any movie or TV series now, I wind up unconsciously watching for it and then being annoyed when I see something bad.
