Technically impressive but I fail to see a good use case for it that's not related to propaganda or scam and the website doesn't seem to list one either.
Facinating software although I hope the idea "we're gonna rely on people to be good humans and DO THE RIGHT THING" is quickly abandoned and instead there is just as robust development of detection software that goes along with newer and better deep fake tools.
I've notice I've steadily become more ashamed to be associated with tech. I'm still processing how to react to this and what to choose to work on in response
Am I in a bubble? Do you share similar feelings or are yours quite different? I am very curious
How long until we see "anti-cheat"-like software to try to detect this stuff for video chatting?
I'm guessing that finding a technology to try to detect this would be over-engineering. I'd love to see a sample where the person with the swapped face passes their hand with spread fingers over their face, and see how it handles that.
FTA: "Ethical Use Safeguards Built-in checks prevent processing of inappropriate content, ensuring legal and ethical use." I see it claims to not process content with nudity, but all of the examples on the website demo impersonation of famous people, including at least one politician (JD Vance).

destroy()I miss the recent past where new tech felt exciting and inspiring but for the last few years new developments are often coupled with an anxiety for the new harms possible and often unclear benefits. I wonder how much is 'inevitable', at large enough scale we will always exploring new possibility spaces as they become available and how much is our choosing – we put resources to build these things in full awareness bec…
Are you actively contributing to these areas you feel ashamed about? If not, you shouldn't really feel ashamed about what other people chose to work on, even if both of you work "in tech".
I'm sure not all people working on medical research agrees with what all other researchers are working on, but you cannot really control what others are working on, so why feel ashamed over what others are working on?
