By the time something like that happened to me it would be happening to a ton of people and it wouldn’t be a “big deal” anymore.

These internet “celebrities” are just on the cutting edge of this. Their attractiveness and popularity has allowed them a great and profitable life, but they have put themselves in the cross hairs for this type of activity. To me it’s like “yeah, that sucks, but it sort of comes with the territory now.” Fake celeb nudes have been around forever, it’s just that the technology has gotten much better.

Here you've reiterated that you can't put yourself in their shoes, and you've sprinkled in some victim blaming. "I can't relate to your plight but I'm sure it's your fault."

May someone please translate for someone who lived during Commodore 64 what this post even means?

Blockchain technology should be able to mitigate this. Blockchains essentially allow for a public record “chain of custody” where you will be able to trace where the video came from.

That's not how it works.

There’s some drama on YouTube/twitch about a streamer getting caught on stream looking at purchased deep fakes of two of his friends (girls) who are also streamers.


You think the drama is bad now? Just wait until this hits politics.

Recognizing the reality that hugely popular and attractive women are likely to have fakes out there is not blaming them. Try using logic instead of buzz words next time.

People are boomering it up in this thread but you're right. We're entering dangerous territory of AI. It's getting to the point where incredibly realistic video and audio can be faked. It's going to become a problem. Imagine someone who doesn't like you hires someone online to make a video of you using racial slurs to get you fired. How you gonna defend that?

Pretend you can watch a porn but instead of the porn star you can watch your buddy's hot wife in it instead. She wouldn't actually be in it obviously, but her face would be superimposed into it and onto the porn star's body so seamlessly that it literally looks like the wife is in the porn.

That's what's happening here.

What if there was a deepfake of you sucking a dick?

In OP’s case, it wouldn’t be a deepfake

We all recognize the reality, but you seem to be arguing that because it is reality that no one should care.

There needs to be laws around the use of deep fakes because if you think “fake news” and disinformation is bad now imagine when one side thinks Hillary is killing babies or Trump is selling nuclear codes to Putin all on film.

How about creating a deep fake of a spouse cheating to aid a divorce proceeding?

Set aside the ethics, the potential consequences of deep fakes are catastrophic.

Bruh, let me make a deepfake porn of your wife or daughter and distribute it to your male coworkers.

For one thing every department in the world would have to start using blockchains to prove authenticity. Also this is not much different than a spokesperson coming out and saying "this is authentic", so what's the point? Arrests are public record anyway, right?

Second, the media data itself isn't stored on the chain or protected in any way, so copies will be freely distributed regardless. So everyone would have to be in the habit of verifying facts before sharing and shaping public opinion. We can do this without blockchains, but we don't.

I haven’t argued that at all. Try again to engage in honest discussion without mischaracterizing my words.

Blockchains will likely end up being the base layer of the internet (Web3). Once it get incorporated, it won’t be much different than how things are now.

Is the level of outrage proportional to the situation?
