It's funny, but disturbing at the same time.
You can barely trust anything you see in the news as it is, but at least if you see a politician making a speech on tv you can be pretty sure it happened.
With tech like this out there and getting more sophisticated, I feel like it won't be long before the bullshit and disinformation is next level and it's impossible to distinguish what's real and what's not.

The fake clips might be easy to identify now, but with the speed at which AI etc is progressing, imagine how good they'll be in 5 or 10 years. It could be near impossible to tell real from fake.

And the media at the moment is pretty crap, they cherry-pick parts of what is said, they put their own bias and spin on it, but you can still go and watch the whole speech and decide for yourself what to believe. If the day comes when the speech might not even be real, then things could get crazy.

And think of the potential for false flag-type operations. The whole world saw Hamas attacking Israelis. Everyone has their own opinions around it, but pretty much nobody disputes what happened because we saw it live-streamed. Imagine if Hamas, Israel, or whoever decided to broadcast a very convincing fake attack to the world so they have an excuse to kick off WW3 or something.

It's getting way to crazy out there in E-land.

Soon as I find the right place to build my retirement compound/artist retreat, all my electronic stuff is going on a permanent vacation. Gonna live without it. Seems silly I know, but I really believe it can be done. At least I am gonna give it a shot.

There's a whole Terminator movie franchise that would disagree with you on that

I would be worried about AI, if it weren't for the expanding global war, and Sixth Extinction Event.
