#2How hard is it for news sites to include links to other websites other than their own? Like thanks for at least calling out the name of the channel but maybe make the name a hyperlink?

#3Could we get the link changed to the actual YouTube channel? https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKpH0CKltc73e4wh0_pgL3g

#4a few days ago, I was searching YouTube for a video on my TV and I found Bill Hader's impression of Arnold Schwarzenegger, which is impressive BTW, but I didn't realize what was going on with his face. At first I thought, wow, he's physiognomy is like Arnold, but something weird was going on. It took several trials until I realize that Arnold's face was superimposed on Bill's face. Spooky.

Agreed that they should link to the channel explicitly, but if you click on one of those videos, they take you to the channel

#6Not knocking it all, but much like CRT’s used to provide free anti-aliasing, it seems as though part of the blending is achieved by the compression artifacts.

#8I would imagine that in the future video encoders will start to automatically include a cryptographic signature every X frames, which then players will become aware of and show an indicator for "original / modified" content.

Same here. Jim Carrey's face seems to morph into John Wayne's and James Dean's when he does impressions of them. I thought the same was happening with Bill. I'm aware of deepfakes but yet it took several watches with me going "what the heck is going on here" to notice the almost seamless transitions.

I'm thinking that we'd need an Originality Authority (like a CA), to act as the anchor. I assume anyone could just strip the cryptographic signature and then re-sign it with their own signature, and we'd need an authority to prevent that.
Upload your content, request a key you can sign with, the OA checks against previously registered content in it's database for originality (I can only assume this would be as buggy as Youtube's algorithm is today).
