      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

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

          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?

            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

              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.

                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.

                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.

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

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

    Another reason to not post pictures of yourself online unless absolutely necessary. Also upload them in really low quality.

    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.

      This is real time and based from one image.

      Deep fakes up to this point are generally not real time, and are generally trained on the source, then with different methods can be applied to the video. Say, making Kermit the Frog doing a dance as the final video, but it’s been deep faked to look like Ms. piggy.

      There are tons of examples of AI that post process deep fakes. This is one of the few real time ones that you can link to a webcam, have a single photo, and you are the deepfake.

      From my understanding, that hasn’t been done yet, at least not in the AI spaces I’ve been part of.

    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.

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

    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
