Video proof. A random middle aged guy mocaps the actors from Stranger Things. There's no real way to argue this is fake, as he obviously didn't get the actors to sit down for his video.
Currently the tech does not convert appearance in real time a la vtubers, so livestreaming is out, but I wouldn't be surprised if that advancement happens soon. Voice changing is no problem either, although most people know that already.
Fake Instagram e-girl accounts using still photos have been out there for a little while. Not sure how prevalent they are because the IG influencer scene is more dependent on video these days, but looks like that's solved now!
So at this point, a random dude is fully capable of starting a youtube career as a cute girl talking about video games, tech, rockets, cars, or all the other areas of interest where women are unicorns. Honestly, I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet. It feels like e-girls and other women on the internet making a living off simpbucks are about to be scabbed and robbed worse than Microsoft employees under Satya Nadella. Best of luck to any of you taking the plunge, and I'm seriously saying that. It's about time that tech investments transfer wealth from women to men, rather than the other way around.
Wow, AI pushed through the uncanny valley faster than I anticipated. Real life had a good run. But it's over now.
As soon as things like that are scaled down to where a home computer or laptop can do it in real time, it's over.
Currently it seems like you need some hefty horsepower of a data center to get things like that to instantly translate movement, otherwise it's a beat behind, so you have to move slow and try not to emote too much. Kling is the software used in the example. Which they'll work on and probably get over quick enough.
I used to think in the early 90s, wow, my computer is hundreds of thousands of times more powerful than the one used to send astronauts to the moon. Very soon they'll be at a level where reality can be manipulated in real time, at home.
This will be actively suppressed, at least for a time. All the hardware components are being monopolized by AI data centers and the companies that make the chips are just wholesale exiting the consumer market because why sell to plebs when there is infinite demand from companies that have infinite market caps?
There's going to be a very strong push to return to the mainframe/terminal model, not least of which is because the increased control it allows the tech oligarchs over the peasantry. There's a lot of financial and authoritarian incentive to prevent the normal consumer from gaining access to this stuff. Not saying the plebs won't eventually get their hands on it anyway, but it's going to be a hard won capability.
Maybe - I see it as greed rather than maliciousness. The average person doesn't even know how to use a computer, or what a file is - they're not running models. They'll continue to be zoned-out niggercattle regardless of technological access.
Its both greed and maliciousness. Usually the taskmasters at the top use the greed for their own malicious purposes. See usury.
Real life hasn't gone anywhere and won't be going anywhere. Reality itself will never be able to be 'edited' by editing the content of our screens. Watching videos of people, be they 'real' or clearly fictional has never been 'reality'. It's always been, at best, an attempt to capture reality. Yet even what purports to be 'real' has always been an attempt to portray a certain picture, image or world to us. Actual real life is out there in our lives in the real world. It always has been and always will be.
The rise of the ease to create 'real-life' videos means there are two clear options. We can remind ourselves that what is on our screens is not reality, and we always remember to keep our distance from it so it doesn't take over our real lives, beliefs and values. Or we can choose to fully embrace this fictional reality and live in this fictional world, and have our lives ultimately controlled by those who create these fictional worlds.
In other words, we can choose to live in the actual reality God created and controls. Or we can choose to live in a fictional reality that man creates and controls.
Ok, if we're being too literal, why are you online right now?
Matthew 28:19-20
I use to pride myself in “having the innate ability to discern real from fake videos”. I no longer can tell the difference in some specific HD videos
