i hope everybody realizes that deepfake-style fake videos are going to be used by the state to further control the populace, if it hasn't already started. Anyone with access to enough data can manufacture footage of confessions and illegal activity, fabricate multiple video sources for fake events, and make a gullible audience believe literally anything they want

and that data has been happily supplied by Facebook and Google

i heard a conspiracy dude say that Snapchat filters were created so all the time you spend turning your head and putting the phone at different angles is giving data to build a 3D model of your face if it's ever needed

but I think that's too interesting for the boring, hellish dystopia we live in

that and calling all legit footage of police brutality and politicians being caught saying the quiet part loud “deepfakes” just like they’ve run the term “fake news” into the ground and stripped it of all meaning

I am certain that this is true and it's only a matter of time, like any day now, that a huge controversy is going to erupt based on either an actual faked video or a video that can be claimed fake.

they could already do this stuff

surveillance or bodycam video is usually so blurry and low-res you can barely tell someone's skin color, let alone the details of their face. and both fake videos and accusing real videos of being faked have already had major impact on politics

as for faked confessions, that's super easy. just lock someone in a room and torture them for 12 hours or so, that usually does it

But before deepfake was invented, what VFX did is use marker points drawn on someones face and import that data into a 3d model first, and than they could mask out whomevers face in green and throw the 3d model onto it.

What this is doing is much more sophisticated and much much easier to do if you can dedicate some time and computer power to it. The more reference images you can gather the better the effect obviouisly So a lot of the early porn deep fakes were quickly made, but that Jennifer Lawrence video with Buscemi is surprisingly good, you barely see any artifcating of where the face is being thrown on. It's loving eery and that's just one person doing it for fun with a few hours to kill.

I wonder if we've been so conditioned by culture and everything in the world, that people just aren't as easily fooled into this kind of thing. I mean look how quickly people use the Fake News banner, and it's not because a dummy is in the presidency, everyone understood the concept before he ever started calling it out for what it was, mostly fake drummed up news.

But he brought it into public consciousness to a people who didn't have a catch word for it yet. Like lets say we saw the Piss Tape tomorrow, how many of his fans would just go 'thats CGI, have you seen what those eggheads can do with computers!?'

Maybe that's why stuff like Deepfake isn't a real concern, because we've had variations of this technology for years and we've all grown accustomed to being trained not to believe everything we see with our eyes, and I'm not talking about in like a general sense we're smarter. I'm saying just look at the popular media, it's mostly computer generated fakery or cartoons.

Yeah, it's kinda one of those technological arms race things, so deep fakes will get better and better to the point that Average Joe (who's a loving moron) will believe it, but others will be able to debunk it easily enough.

The real problem is the diminishing returns of media attention (and the fact that the media has an agenda that usually aligns with the state at the highest levels)

It'll probably just end up being another effective propaganda tool rather than the death of truth, but who the gently caress knows.

I think we're just going to transition into a society where people just believe whatever suits their sensibilities from how they were raised and they'll just subscribe to that universe and all of its news and partisan battles. An event will happen, and there'll be like, 3 completely different angles on how/why it happened and who was involved, with perfect video and photographic evidence to support whatever and as long as the bullshit is constructed well enough people will shrug and believe it and go on living their lives

We're basically already 90% of the way there, the door on deprogramming people will just finally be closed because hey if you can't believe your eyes what can you believe? And how do I know your evidence that what I know to be true isn't fake itself?!!?

Sure, but this all presumes it’s a continuation of things done that your brain immediately rejects because the entire concept doesn’t fit. Subtle fakes (sort of like propaganda-created memes) are more likely to be widely effective in maintaining the galvanization that’s present in a lot of places.

But you may be right in that the key to a lot of the propaganda (pictures or talking points) is to make them so stupid-dense that a reasonable average person doesn’t even know where to begin to address it. With deepfakes, the obvious starting point is “well that’s not actually them talking” at least.

perfect fake videos have never been necessary. i worried about the deepfakes stuff for a while, but the more I think about it the more I realize it doesn't matter. the people who are already predisposed to believe things will never even look at the evidence, and the people who are predisposed to disbelieve those things will point to some dust on the camera lens and accuse it of being a mark left behind when the lizard illuminati projected hypno-fields into the tape

Yeah deep fakes aren’t going to convince people their paycheck is sufficient, healthcare is affordable, climate change isn’t happening, etc. If anything, increasingly pervasive deep fakes will make lazy idpol even more of an impossible ideology.
