I'm surprised this hasn't already been done (or I'm not aware of it)... Step 1. Train AI on pornographic videos Step 2. Feed AI images of your ex Step 3. Profit

#372Impressive. It's only going to get better, faster, cheaper, easier.[a] Sooner than anyone could have expected, we'll be able to ask the machines: "Turn this book into a two-hour movie with the likeness of [your favorite actor/actress] in the lead role." Sooner than anyone could have expected, we'll be able to have immersive VR experiences that are crafted to each person. Sooner than anyone could have expected, we won…
Are we only a few years away from one person/small group made movies where the dialog, acting, location and special effects can be tweaked endlessly for a relatively low cost. If I was a studio exec I'd be worried.
Studio execs don't do any of that stuff anyway. It's the long list of people in the movie credits who should be worried.

#373Unless I'm missing something, this technology's harmful potential outweighs the good. What is the great outcome from it that makes society better? MORE content? TikTok already shows that you can out-influence Hollywood/governments in 10 seconds with your smartphone. Heck, you can cause riots through forwarding text messages on WhatsApp [1]. Not everything that can be done should be done, and I think this is just too harmful for people to work on. I wish we'd globally ban it.

#374Man, everyone is happy with these advancements, and they are impressive. I’m here looking at users and wondering - the content pipelines are broader, but the exit points of attention and human brains are constant. How the heck are you supposed to know if your content is valid? During a recent apple event, someone on YT had an AI generated video of Tim Cook announcing a crypto collaboration; it had a 100k users before…
We are at a crossroads of technology, where we're still used to the idea that audio and video are decent proof that something happened, in a way in which we don't generally trust written descriptions of an event. Generative AI will be a significant problem for a while, but this assumption that audio/video is inherently trustable will relatively soon (in the grand scheme of things) go away, and we'll return to the historical medium.
We've basically been living in a privileged and brief time in human history for the last 100-200 years, where you could mostly trust your eyes and years to learn about events that you didn't directly witness. This didn't exist before photography and phonograms: if you didn't witness an event personally, you could only rely on trust in other human beings that told you about it to know of it actually happened. The same will soon start to be true again, if it isn't already: a million videos from random anonymous strangers showing something happening will mean nothing, just like a million comments describing it mean nothing today.
This is not a brave new world of post-truth such as the world has never seen before. It is going back to basically the world we had before photo, video, and sound recordings.

Does anyone other than PMs when thinking up user stories do shit like this or finds this kinda stuff desirable? It just sounds like a business person who doesn't have a life other than selling their product trying to think up "real user" usecases every time.

Yeah... African users... oh poor infantile, gullible, creatures... so incapable of discerning truth from falsehood are the ones to be fooled by generative AI...I get the gist

I only care about being able to express myself more easily Maybe get a job where interviewers are biased against my actual look and pedigree Just ignore everyone else’s use of the tool
> Just ignore everyone else’s use of the tool
That's precisely the hard part!

I agree with Neil Degrasse Tyson AI will kill the Internet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAuDmBYwLq4
Though maybe there's hope if..
1. All deepfake image & video tech are enforced to add watermark labels & all websites that publish are force to label fake too.
2. Crazy idea but a govt issued Internet ID (ID.me is closest to that now with having to use to file taxes with the IRS) where your personal repuation and credit score are affected by publishing fake/scam/spam crap on the Internet ..affectively helping to destroy it. I want good actors on the web not ones that are out for a buck and in turn destroying it.
Re: Meta Movie Gen
#379This is great. Honestly imagine we get to a point this technology makes most things so demystified we move on to things that are more difficult.
Like cool a movie doesn’t need to cost $200 million or whatever.
Imagine if those creative types were freed up to do something different. What would we see? Better architecture and factories? Maybe better hospitals?

The Information Bomb. There's a reason military types and spooks are joining the boards of OpenAI and friends. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/203092.The_Information_B... > After the era of the atomic bomb, Virilio posits an era of genetic and information bombs which replace the apocalyptic bang of nuclear death with the whimper of a subliminally reinforced eugenics. We are entering the age of euthanasia.
There is some credence to the idea that the third reich was only possible due to mass media. Radio, television, and movie theatres broadcasting and rebroadcasting information onto a populace that did not have experience with media overload and therefore had no resistance to it.
Not attempting to justify their actions or the outcomes, just that media itself is and has been long known to be a powerful weapon, like the fabled story of a city besieged by a greater army, who opened their gates to the invaders knowing that the invaders were lead by a brilliant strategist.
The invader strategist, seeing the gates open, deduced that there must be a giant army laying in wait and that the gates being open were a trap, and so they turned and left.
Had they entered they would have won easily, but the medium of communication, an open gate before an advancing horde, was enough in and of itself to turn the tide of a pitched battle.
When we reach the point where we can never believe what we see or hear or think on our own, how will we ever fight?
