Deepfakes getting better

[astuffedshirt_perv]

Not surprisingly, "deepfakes" tech has improved. The latest demo is done by a Stanford professor, and it is really good.

Which makes me wonder, could you take a Madden NBA 2018 clip--already pretty good--and 'deepfake' yourself into it so that it looks like you're dunking on Lebron?

I do not understand their Reference and Our Result examples.

The simulation exactly copies the original video. I can do that with my iPad, via copy and paste. (I imagine the point is that the simulation was fed programmatic commands, and the result is nigh indistinguishable from how the personal actually says those words?)

Show me Putin giving the Gettysburg Address if you want demonstrate the power of deepfakery to us laypeople.

Plastic -- Shel Silverstein

...One afternoon in the month of June
I went down to the beach.
There were cuties and beauties in little bathin' suits
And all of them within my reach.
Then a 38-24-36 miss just happened to be passin' my way.
I said, "Please don't think I'm nervy, but you look so very curvy
Please tell me how you got that way!"

She said, "It's plastic it's only plastic,
It's pretty as can be, but you know that it ain't me,
Because they're plastic, oh yes they're plastic,
Everything's gonna be plastic by and by."​

Everything that isn't already faked, soon will be.

She is correct. And this technology is going to fuck us hard - in a very bad way. 2020 proved we're not going to handle it well at all.

Deepfakes are becoming corporate cinema's strategy to cast dead actors in new movies instead of paying and marketing current actors.

I think at least part of the problem is how fast the changes happen. While manipulative media and targeted propaganda campaigns have existed at least since introducing of the printing press, much too many people still alive today still trusts the tv screen when it comes to news. (And it's doubly surprising how naive children you Americans appear to be once exposed to even half assed propaganda wars.) Now, when basically any public figure pretty soon could be shown saying or doing pretty much anything seemingly on camera, the ages old "seeing is believing" should finally be broken, but wouldn't.

Robin Williams in Rambo 8 doesn't have much panache, if I'm being honest.

I'm not convinced at all. After all, A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest, lie lie lie. Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie. Women, on the other hand...
