    It is open source technology. There is no way to stop that, only pushing it under ground. The solution is simply a healthy skepticism. In reality it is a good thing. Now, a political image must be presented with much more transparency and conservative rhetoric lest one’s actions and message become indistinguishable from satirical meme culture.

    All authoritarian promoting articles about AI regulations originate from the oligarch Altmann’s quest to monopolize the next decade of technology using populism.

    AI has very real risks but no one is effectively reporting these, like the Israeli AI weapons systems and developments surrounding drones in Ukraine right now.

    Images of the orange insurrectionist do not matter. No AI is crazy enough to say worse things than that jackass or anyone else in the Red Jihadi Erotic Donkey show.

    Deepfake detection technology also needs to get a lot better and become much more widespread.

    It’s worrying how much utter nonsense is published on AI and how little actually helpful advice. I hope law-makers don’t do too much damage.

    People need to be more media litterate and more skeptical of news stories instead of taking them at face value, regardless of Deepfakery. So many articles that pass as “news” are filled with opinion and adjectives designed to ellicit an emotional response.

    People need to learn to look at a piece of information and ask questions.

    • Who wants me to be reading this?
    • What emotions (if any) is this trying to ellicit?
    • What objective information can be taken from this story?
    • What are the sources for that objective information? Are they reliable?

    Etc. Etc. Etc.

    Even a Fox News article can have some insight into the goings on if you can parse the information from the spin. Deepfakes are just going to be another level of spin, but if people are informed enough, they’ll be able to logically differentiate between a real news story and a damning fake video.

    However, that doesnt solve the age old problem of willfully ignorant people and the confirmation bias…
