I personally already pause at sharing anything at all because of the sheer amount of plausible nonsense that appears day after day. We'll cross some scepticism event horizon with this where verification will become impossible.

And what will it enable people to believe? My local conspiracy theorist already believes the government controls the weather based on Facebook posts, so what happens when there's 'documentary footage' of the weather machines?

The step that isn't clear yet is what the consequences of deepfakes will be when people learn that literally anything could be generated disinformation and begin to adjust their behaviour accordingly. Will it just turbocharge the conspiracy response stuff we already suffer from?

Once AI works out how to do hands then this deepfake crap is going to be one of the biggest problems the world has faced. It has the potential to be extremely damaging and we are sleepwalking into a nightmare with this. I hate everything about it.

The hand strikes again🖖: these photos allegedly shot at a French protest rally yesterday look almost real - if it weren't for the officer's six-fingered glove #disinformation #AI

Hell, the fact that most people are just sat around calmly waiting for the next election seems incredible. At least nurses/teachers etc are actually doing something. They have to do everything to pull this place out of the ditch.

Baffled by the lack of anger in the UK right now. The general resignation that public services are ruined and that's just how it is just seems insane. That people will still vote Tory at the next election is the most miserable thing of all.

another sort of weird detached-from-reality thing from the 'AI' people is the apparent premise that we are suffering through a dearth of content, like there isn't enough content so we need this machine to serve up an infinite volume of content substitute

Martin Lewis died in obscurity in 1962; a retired art teacher who had found some success in his early career, but was largely forgotten. Lewis spent his last three decades teaching other people how to etch. History chose Edward Hopper, but Martin Lewis was his mentor.

The Soviet ЭШ 6/45 Walking Excavator is like a living piece of post-apocalyptic artwork. The rust, the mismatched curtains, even the fact it's decades old and built in a country which no longer exists.

A fellow dad at my kids' school complained to me about the strike but almost instantly changed their tune when i asked why wouldn't want the people looking after their *three* kids to be adequately paid. The arguments against striking are so flimsy they're instantly abandoned.

Bringing the National Grid back into public ownership would save £3.7bn a year presently paid to shareholders. Using those savings, after 5 years we could have enough wind turbines to power 1.25 million homes, without an extra penny of investment. Nationalise the National Grid.
