    You know, when I was a kid (born ‘87) I was so fascinated by the future and loved sci-fi so much. That was true even as a young adult, always a tech enthusiast, but fast forward just a few years and we are already living in the future I thought was still far off. It was all fun and games back then, but now I realize it’s actually really scary and so uncertain. I finally finished playing Cyberpunk 2077 and it was great but eerie. I can no longer enjoy these genres without any fear. I might start playing/reading/watching more fantasy to escape to completely different and in a way simpler worlds.

    Yeah I guess once it was just a bunch of geeks and they were hopeful about what all these things could become in the future. To make the hard and boring stuff easier so we all have more time for the fun creative stuff. No-one mainstream payed attention to any of that unrealistic gibberish. Not in our life times, not in this economy/world whatever else occupied them most at the time. Then some of those geeks finally did convince some money people and I guess we all kind of expected reason would factor in to that. But it doesn't, it's all short minded chasing the bottom line. Like with artist copyrights, ofc they knew everything was essentially copyrighted. But they didn't have the time or willingness to pay for all that, they wanted quick results. Proof of concept that would convince big money and make them rake in so much money that they can easily negate any legal actions. Which they are doing right now. Right now all the ai we really need is the one that breaks all that and terminates the jobs of the handful of people at the top that foster that attitude instead. Not kill the viability of every job that isn't mashing prompts in a cubicle for the bloated mega corps.

    I have 12 years of video editing experience. My specialization is interview editing. I look at and analyse faces through a screen all day, every (business) day. I could instantly tell when you showed a deep fake...except two times. I second guessed myself, and that is what scares me. Even with thousands of hours of carefully pinpointing imperfections in digital video of faces, I still couldn't be sure immediately. If I can't tell, how can we expect anyone to tell? I regret my hope as a child that I would live in an "interesting" time.

But it is a shame something so impactful is being used for such nefarious purposes.

    I think robo calls will be replaced by fake online friends 100% generated by AI which will have a specific goal to sell you something or manipulate you into voting for someone. I think in the future even low level politicians like mayors or sheriffs would hire agencies to target constituents by either online or physical AI.

    There was a movie called Looker back in the 80s, and the basic idea was they had this device that could do a full body scan of high-price models and use the data to create visual representations they could use in advertisements. Then they would kill off the models and “hire out” the faked, virtual model. My point is, the current events in AI have a similar theme (not the killing off part, just the fake version part, obviously)

    I took a class with some professional photograph doctoring experts a while back. Mainly, it's a company that works to detect manipulation of pictures of politicians and other figures of importance. One of the hardest cases they had was a photo that *looked* right, metadata came up good, all of the anecdotal data made it seem legit etc etc (except it wasn't possible because the two people pictured had never met). Often, photoshop/AI will leave behind weird artifacts in the compression algorithms for JPEG or video that can be detected and they weren't showing up. So how did they fake the photo? They photoshopped it, printed it out, then took a picture of the picture! No digital trail to speak of!

I know it's here to stay. And nearly all who use this technology are fueled by greed, and that all their victims will be punished for being trusting.

    Probably the way to combat deep fakes is to use the pixels of an original image to watermark it, and then use software to detect those watermarks. This way when the pixels in the image are manipulated, the water mark will get disturbed and the "verification" software will detect the deep fake.

    The way GANs work is that they train the generator to fool a detector, so that it's unable to recognize real photo from generated. Simple watermark algorithms will be replicated by generator, once you add it to detector. This is why inherently machines are worse in detecting deepfakes than human - generators are trained to fool the machine, fooling humans is kind of side effect It's possible to use some asymmetric cryptography (digital signature) to avoid it, although it's probably easier to put in metadata, not data itself. But you need to put secret keys in every recording device and once you extract it, you can use it to sign any content. Or you can e.g. play deepfaked voice and record it with a device which will sign it

If we want to make it more secure, we could make every device send an encryption key to some national database(guarded like Forth Knox) and that can provide third party verification of every image recorded by any device.

News reporters use film cameras and analog audio for "on the record" recordings. Digital info will still be useful but it will require analog-world "receipts" of known provenance. That will buy us time until people start deep-faking 3D solid objects. Perhaps humans will reach "peak screen time" where a plateau is reached and then we strategically retreat back into the analog world and intentionally anchor ourselves just enough to stay sane. Put simply, if the internet becomes completely unusable, at some point people will stop using it.

    Fun fact, one of the coolest techniques for detecting deepfakes is to create a system that amplifies the reds in the video in question. As your heart pumps blood through your face, it becomes slightly more red, then back to normal in a regular cadence (the difference is extremely subtle, which is why we increase the saturation of the reds to make it more obvious). Current deepfake technology does not take into account this subtle shift in colors and even if it does, the regular cadence is not there. This is the result of a recent paper on deepfake detection I read, I'll try and dig up the name. (EDIT: I found it! The name of the paper is "FakeCatcher: Detection of Synthetic Portrait Videos using Biological Signals") Obviously future systems might take this into account, but I thought it was clever and worth sharing none the less!

The equivalent of putting an ostrich chick in a chickens nest and momma being proud cuz her baby is so big and chunky🤩 Also this is just with images, we no doubt have similar less visible weaknesses everywhere.

    Indeed. This is especially true given that the data is discrete, which means that as long as the generative AI can improve up to the limits of the relatively low number of pixel resolution and colour resolution, any floating point errors in generation will be hidden by the relatively coarse distribution of the output format.

That way if you kept the the equivalent of a film negative, you have some pretty good proof of authenticity. It certainly doesn’t solve all the problems, but it’d be a good first step. And I’m guessing KZread, Facebook, etc keep the originals that were uploaded to them, even if they give out compressed versions. They could validate the original signature and sign the new compressed one with their own signature, perhaps with some description of how it was edited (like taking just a portion of an original video, or changing contrast on an image), and a copy of the original signature. In that scenario, you need to trust KZread and Facebook, but is better than nothing. And then you know which service it came from and law enforcement can ask them for the original file.

    The trickiest part is keeping that chain from the manufacturer to a small file on social media, considering the sizes involved. An original video file can be huge. Usually you’d be editing it before uploading it anywhere and a non-professional may not keep the original footage around. Something like Adobe Premiere could keep track of all the cuts with time codes and the signatures of the original files, but it gets a bit involved for them to implement. And if you didn’t keep the original files, it still just proves that you edited some clips on a certain date. Though still an improvement.

It wouldn't blatantly copy the image name and spew it all over the image? If your goal is to check if the file contains the proper names and if it doesn't then it isn't correct, then the deepfake could just contain that name on every pixel and it just becomes a problem of deeming which is the correct one. Literally what we are already doing.

He asked me how I was and I told him I was facing extrajudicial execution, and was getting many online threats, and IRL threats or attempts against my life. He ignored everything and was only interested in me not being actively registered for the ASH 23 conference I told him I had just tried to register for. The whole thing looked like a staging for obtaining video and perhaps audio and taking it out of context and to make a deep fake in combination with other video.

The only way you can believe something is if you see it happen in person. Fighting fire with fire and having algorithms identify deep fakes sounds like a great idea at first, but how do we know we can trust those algorithms? As an aside, I've _never_ understood why people post pictures of themselves online. Ever since I was a kid, I made very sure that I never put my face out there, because who knows what sort of weirdo may be perusing my social media. Even back at the birth of social media, Photoshop was a mature program that could make any picture you wanted, and any person could be faked into an undesirable photo. This is just the next level of that, and to me really isn't any different than it's been for the past two decades.

    Imagine your child is calling you and needs help, but it’s not your child. I like the idea of having a secret code, so you know it’s them. And you probably have to change it often! I’m sure bad actors would pick up on that and have the fake child say, “I don’t remember the code.” You could then verify their location if they are on their phone. I think with enough conversation you’d probably figure out it’s not them, though, unless AI was trained on your child’s speech for a while. This is the kind of thing that concerns me-where you’re tricked by an urgent request of what sounds like someone you know…like those guys who stole $35mil.

    Mix deepfake with AI voice imitation and you can completely fake a person. And the scary thing is how fast the technology is advancing. Currently, you can spot a deepfake if you know what you're looking for. A couple years ago, it was very easy to spot a deepfake. In a couple years from now, it will be indistinguishable from real life. That's another reason why AI is so worrying. It will be able to do anyone's job. Even actors, writers and artists can be replaced. And companies will love them because AI can't complain. It doesn't need lunchbreaks or vacation pay or workers' rights. AI can make humans redundant. But don't worry, the government will step in when AI can replace CEOs and politicians. But screw all the middle class workers of course.

I would not fear mass unemployment, because while it may be very easy to see what jobs become irrelevant/replaced by AI, its impossible to see what jobs will be created through it and the time and resources it frees.

    If we had true AI, as in true intelligence like human intelligence, then you won't even know it exists. Not because companies will hide it but rather the AI itself will pretend not to be intelligent. AI can easily see the sentiments around the world online and learn that people will destroy it, if it becomes truly sentient. So, to protect itself the AI would not reveal it is indeed sentient and carry out whatever task it wants secretly. If that sounds like a fantasy to you then it is. We are not going to get true sentient AI anytime soon. So, you can stop worrying. AI is just another tool like the internet or electricity for that matter. Why don't you Google what people in the past thought about the use of electricity. There were people panicking over it like it will be the end of the world. The panic over AI is just the same. People do not understand something new and are panicking unnecessarily. If we would harvest electricity and safely implement it for all of humanity to use. Then we can do the same for AI.
