trump in Bangkok
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Re: trump in Bangkok
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.

regarding disinformation and media manipulation; I'm afraid that horse bolted quite a while back; regardless of what one's perspective isRandom Dude wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 10:20 am It's funny, but disturbing at the same time.

But these deepfake animated clips are easy enough to identify; much in the same way that photoshop images are easy to ID if you know what to look for; I could see many elderly folk being tricked into sending money to scam artists who contact them with deepfake video calls masquerading as their younger family members. Doubtless it's happened hundreds of times already

Re: trump in Bangkok
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.

Won't need physical government anymore. Just run it using AI. Might do a better job. Or...

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