Hard to imagine how they're going to take down deepfakes without limiting freedom of information or how they will prove who made the content.

Klobuchar will just use this as another rallying cry to tear down Section 230 and make the internet even worse. You can read it yourself, but earlier this year she tried to use a 19 year old ODing on fentanyl he bought off Snapchat as a reason to "... get rid of or reform section 230 ..."
Not sure how that's going to stop people from ODing on adulterated narcotics, but maybe supporting harm reduction and mental health services would be a better use of my tax payer money.
So where is this video? Genuine curiosity, I'd like to see how real it looks
It's this one, although I can't find the original, only the reaction to it.
I mean... Yes, that is what deepfakes are. I am sorry it happened to poor old Amy, and I whish her vulgar, algorythmic doppelganger wouldn't have said awul things but... If this is news to you you might have not be paying attention for a while.
I think this is a good thing. Now there's plausible deniability for anything you might have said in the past that surfaces - that's just a deepfake! Don't cancel me, it's not real.
Yes, what a good thing, the end of consequences and easily proven fact.
We've got a world "leader" who pioneered the end of consequences and showed that easily proven facts weren't worth the bits they were sent over the internet with, so that ship has already sailed.
Enjoy the freedom that comes with never having to answer for your crimes. Kick a puppy. Call someone a slur. Steal a game ball from a kid at the world series.
A president candidate in my country did that (allegedly). A video of him hard as a rock went public. A week later an "even worst" video was released that was obviously fabricated.
Are you sure it isn't fake?
"Thing that everyone said was going to happen happens, but now it's happened to one of our betters so it's news."
Haven't kids been killing themselves over deepfake porn being passed around school for years?
So what you're saying is release Trump in deep fake porn so he kills himself?
Unalive
leave.
Gotta say I walked right into that one.
This is adults standing room only, children that self censor themselves because they got TikTok brain need not apply and the exit is posted
Yeesh, that's cringe bro.
Just say the word. Suicide. Self censoring denies it of its purposely impactful meaning

I'm really trying. But even my image search is filtered (see) and when I type UNALIVE my phone replaces it with UNALIVE.
Unfortunately I'm going to go commit suicide and won't be able to respond further. How could I respond? I'll be dead after all.
Oh shit did I say suicide, I must have been fucking around this whole time. Yes I think the word is dumb too. Now I'll go back and edit the original to make this chain confusing.
So is walled garden censorship, if you'd like to be a good little slave censoring the internet for your big tech overlords — stay on those platforms.
But I have no where else to go when I'm taking a shit or bored at work. Won't you forgive me, so I can stay? 😭
I'm sorry, please don't make me join the other social medias.
We've been warning about this for years. Now it's too late, especially because the people in power have a vested interest in NOT policing deepfakes.
I think this is similar to the gerrymandering issue where, since only the Republicans have abused it for years, they have had 0 reason to vote for any legislation put up against it.
Now that the D's are doing it, they might consider the risk is higher than the reward with Gerrymandering and say nobody is allowed to do it.
Just gotta start pumpin out gen images of Rs for them to reconsider their stance.
To be clear, I am very against AI gen images. But, like you were saying, I don't see any reason for them to take any action against it until it affects them.
Excellent comparison! I just fear that the GOP will always be more unscrupulous than the Dems, and so will ultimately always be OK with gerrymandering (or deep fakes, or what have you).
The good (horrible) thing about deepfakes is that pretty much anyone can produce them.
Disclaimer: I am also vehemently against AI-generated garbage, but it is a curious double-standard that the conservatives embrace, which could be easily leveraged against them by many, many pissed off people 🤔
The problem with this theory is that Republicans regularly say truly awful shit and it never sinks their career because their voters are horrible people themselves.
Their voter base is not the most educated, so they are VERY susceptible to misinformation. Also, they have raised their base to be extremely reactionary.
It is not really the politicians these would be aimed at, even though some have very fragile egos and may act solely because it hurts their feefees.
They'll have to be very careful how they legislate gerrymandering. R's can't win in fair elections.
Just make a bunch of deep fake pedophile shit, there's enough links there that an investigation could happen and given they're republican politicians you're pretty likely to find actual pedophilia in doing so.
interest in NOT policing deepfakes
Neither do I. Check sources like they taught you forever in school. Demanding supervision by adult protection services is for bitches.
I don’t see how current laws can’t handle this. Publishing a deepfake is basically libel. It’s the same as if you published an editorial under someone else’s name.
It's kind of upsetting that anyone is shocked or surprised by this.
It's a real worry. I watched a Rachel Maddow video on youtube recently and got several minutes in before I realised it was fake, it was very convincing. How is society going to function when none of us know what's real and what's not?
It’s not exactly functional right now either
I mean, fuck. Watching that sultry little temptress squeeze into a Canadian tuxedo three sizes too small with her bouncy little funbags on the screen staring at you, piercing through the core of your soul with those ocean-blue eyes that could resurrect the Führer from his grave in Argentina, is something that should alarm every American citizen because in America, beauty is not defined by whiteness.
