a shameless plug deserves an honest review: this is dog shit

That's not a review. It's an (probably honest) opinion stated like a fact. I liked it.

sure it is. that's my critical evaluation of this work. if you liked it, i highly recommend the hallmark channel, lifetime, family channel originals, the netflix straight-to-vod swimlane, and a frontal lobotomy.

This is totally awesome - the tech is out there and whether you use it to make videos or solve long human / world problems is up to you. Yeah, we might get the bad killer robots. But it's more likely this will make it unnecessary to wonder where on this blue planet you can still live when we power the deserts with solar and go to space. Getting clean nutrition and environment will be within reach. I think that's grea…

« out there » is slightly optimistic.

The model is not released and probably won’t be for a while.

And it probably costs Meta-scale infra to fine-tune to your needs.

Things are about to get weird. We can't control this at any level: At the level of image/video synthesis: Some leading companies have suggested they put watermarks in the content they create. Nice thought, but open source will always be an option, and people will always be able to build un-watermarked tools. At the level of law: You could attempt to pass a law banning image/video generation entirely, or those without…

Just stop taking any video you see at face value? People managed without videos before video cameras were available, and the written word was never reliable to start with. Maybe the future won’t be that different?

Except that time "before video cameras" didn't coincide with a time in which everyone had a magic device in our pocket that allowed anyone to send a firehose of propaganda our way.

If yellow newspapers were able to push us to war despite us knowing that "the written word was never reliable to start with", what will be the impact of the combination of this technology and the internet used against a population that has been conditioned over generations to trust video.

Possible option is for cameras to digitally sign the original video as it is being recorded.

My favorite idea that nobody is talking about is how news organizations are about to get a second life. As soon as it becomes actually impossible to distinguish AI content from human content, news organizations will have the opportunity to provide that layer of analysis in a way that potentially can't be (easily) automated. They are ironically against it but IDK maybe they should be excited about it. Would love someone to poke holes in this.

Cryptography-secured/signed generated content / interactions?

worldcoin project solves a lot of this when combined with web of trust, however everyone's knee jerk reaction to worldcoin is pretty bad and so it's annoying to even mention it

I’m not knowledgeable in crypto/worldcoin.

I was rather thinking classical cryptography baked into generative networks.

If “fake news” is anything to go by, the population will quickly be de-conditioned from trusting video.

I assure you that's not enough. These are high quality videos. Once they get uploaded to social media, compression mostly makes imperfections go away. And it's been shown that when people are not expecting AI content, they are much less likely to realize they are looking at AI. I would 100% believe most of these videos were real if caught off guard.

A friend who lives in North Carolina sent me a video of the raging floodwaters in his state- at least that's what the superimposed text claimed it was. When I looked closer, it was clearly an Indian city filled with Indian people and Indian cars. He hadn't noticed anything except the flood water. It reminded me of that famous selective attention test video[1]. I won't ruin it for those who haven't seen it, but it's a…

hmmm... Maybe it's because I knew it was testing me, but I noticed it right away and counted the right count.

I could see it being pretty shocking if I hadn't, but I honestly can't imagine how I'd miss that.
