    We all knew this was where deepfakes were headed, and just like with all the other bad things happening since 2016, nobody’s done a single thing about it.

      My mother is thoroughly addicted to Facebook and literally gets all her news from there. I keep sending her warnings about more targeted AI generated content and she keeps shrugging it off saying she “does her own research and doesn’t just blindly accept what gets posted.” Which from talking to her I know is total bullshit. I don’t know how to pull her out of it…

          Maybe throw in a reference to time travel to really freak her out 😁

        My MIL isn’t addicted to Facebook, but fell deep into vegan/plant-based stuff lately and says the same thing about doing her own research and not blindly believing stuff. I already knew a lot of the stuff she has been pushing on us was complete BS but the kicker was when she said meat and dairy cause autism

          It’s annoying as hell, because there are plenty of sane and rational arguments to cut meat out of your diet (cost, just for starters). And then you’ve got the woo-woo types who insist the vegan from Scott Pilgrim was a real guy.

          she said meat and dairy cause autism

          If only! Imagine what the world would be like if all the most obnoxious chud internet personalities endlessly pushing the Offal Diet or Three Steaks a Day or whatever took it down about eight notches and got deeply into model trains, instead.

          Peta said that and has never once apologized for it.

        Me, referencing the past 8 years and the current situation with ai and the government’s extremely lax action against it

    “Confronted with the evidence, Kramer admitted that he commissioned the call, but he insisted he only did it to prompt stricter regulations of AI deep fakes.”

    I only broke into the bank vault to prove we need stronger bank vaults.

      To be fair, what was actually the point of a Democratic consultant getting people not to vote in a primary that awarded no delegates? In the bank analogy he’s robbing the Monopoly bank.

      And just to be clear, I think what he did should be illegal and he should be prosecuted. I just don’t think there was a whole lot to gain had he gotten away with his scheme.

          This guy was a Democratic consultant. There were also some Republicans that did something similar.

      I mean, this is unironically what White Hat Hacking is about.

      At some level, I can see a benefit to road testing a strategy like this and then developing countermeasures once you can see the impact. But when its just some random asshole throwing things against the wall to see what sticks, it sounds like he’s more interested in the first order manipulation effect than the second order defensive response.

        Yeah, but there’s a difference between white-hat hacking (where you find an exploit, test it once to confirm its validity, and report it without abusing it) and actually modifying a bunch of records (the equivalent of what this would be). White-hatting tries to be minimally-destructive while proving the vulnerability.
