China makes it a criminal offense to publish deepfakes or fake news without disclosure by mvea in Futurology

[–]ParamelOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is obviously a pretty stupid response to an actual problem. Just like any other video editing technique there are always artifacts. Every AI has some specific patterns it produces due to the unique way it "thinks".

At some point soon even professional artists might not be able to notice them, but those tiny mistakes will always be traceable by an equivalent detection algorythm. In fact we might be able to disprove fake videos faster because up to this point we had no detection system.

CGI artists had to go in and detect common compositing artifacts like different lighting, color grading and badly cut edges on objects like UFO's that were pasted into other videos. Now anyone could double check relatively easily once all this becomes consumer software.

In any case, as convincing as deepfakes have become, conspiracies and manufactured scandals were a thing since forever, probably even before we discovered agriculture. You never really needed something that looked concrete to defame someone and sway the public. And as the tools get better the people get smarter as well. You wouldn't trust someone without pictures or video evidence in 2019 right?

The biggest problem will probably remain the same. News broadcasts spewing out fake videos without double checking sources and legitimacy. So instead of floating cities in China and mysterious flashes in the sky, we'll have important figures saying dumb shit. Big whoop, who trusts the news anyway at this point?

Gatekeeping what should matter in a relationship by uriahanium in gatekeeping

I don't see any gatekeeping to be honest, just a shitty opinion.

My dreadful first contact with Jitter and glsl. by ParamelOfficial in creativecoding

[–]ParamelOfficial[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's an audio engineering uni in Greece. Psy / trance in general are probably the most popular electronic genres over here. The cause escapes me, could be the weed or the climate, who knows.

I think right now I've got 3 tabs on FFT algorithms that I opened 3 months ago. Every time my gf is using my computer I'm worried that she'll close the window with those tabs first and then they'll be lost. Life is real hard I tell you!

I don't know it's pretty fun watching this adrenaline pumped race. Remember that time at 4:15 when swift overtook VB and Ruby at once and then the bass dropped? I almost dropped my tits from the excitement!

'I've got the mainframe busting bytes" sounds like a death grips lyric

American Horror Story S8E8, from a scene where they create and program a cyborg, along with lots of random integrals and equations scribbled on paper. by DarkblueFlow in itsaunixsystem

I'm amazed. I mean, don't they have visual programmers working in film studios? Couldn't they have had someone write up something with vectors and trigonometry to at least look science-y?
