that seems like an overreaction. the card processors ban much more questionable trades - such as weapons and terrorism financing

GP comment is misleading. Visa/MC do not block gun/ammo purchases in the US.

I think AI + deepfakes will increase the value pressure on in-person interactions - ie, the only time when you can (for now) believe your eyes and ears.

I wonder how politics can be transacted in such an environment. Old-timey first-past-the-post might be the optimal solution if you can't trust anything from out of earshot.

Looks like this project is a fork of the discontinued roop[0] with primarily some UI improvements. One of roop's main developers has been working on facefusion[1] for the past year and it produces by far the most convincing results from the ones i've seen and it also supports real time webcam face swapping.

It’s not so much Visa/MC but rather the payment processors that are at issue here.

For many (notably mastercard and VISA), when they say “ethical” they really mean anything but porn.

I can't find anything to support your claim about weapons. Seems pretty much all online arms dealers I can find selling anything from grenades, machine guns, and even rocket launchers take credit cards and I'm fairly certain stores also accept them too.

This makes me think there could be use for a very very (very) easy-to-use tool that allows two parties to choose and store a secret (verbally pronounceable) passphrase known only to the two of them, for use in situations in which it might be necessary to ‘sign’ a video chat or audio conversation in which one party’s identity might be in doubt.

I've seen people try and share such a "password" verbally on a video call. With recording and live transcribing on. From free-tier extensions with wobbly privacy policies. This won't work. I've resorted to using OTP apps with family and coworkers.

So you force your parents/kids/aunts/etc to give you a one time code every time they want to talk to you?

That seems extremely clunky and impersonal and I couldn’t imagine anyone in my family willingly agreeing to do it.

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). I'm struggling to understand what the authors consider 'ethical' deepfaking? What is the intended 'ethical' use case here?…

The answer is that anyone working on deepfakes doean't care much about ethics or they wouldn't be doing it in the first place.

The payment processors interpret the networks’ rules, you do understand that right? If they’re banning something, it’s because the networks either outright are banning it too or have put enough restrictions and constraints in place that the liability for the transaction doesn’t make sense.

The payment processors are doing what the networks tell them to do.

It’s not like the processors are actively looking for ways to turn down money; they want as many transactions going through them so they can earn their share of it.
