Deepfakes have the potential to turn the word upside down and cause utter chaos in the world. I don’t know how we are going to deal with it as a society, I think we are not equipped for it. In fact I fully expected trump to use it for the October surprise, but I guess he didn’t go there for whatever reason.

The catholic church survived the printing press. We'll be fine. Maybe not all of us will live to see it but society and its institutions will go on.

The creators of South Park have a new weekly deepfake satire show.

The character Fred Sassy, whose face is a deepfake of president Trump's, on the new show Sassy Justice.

I _think_ that the Michael Cain section is Peter Serafinowicz doing a Michael Cain impression (which has then been deepfaked), but it could be Lyre Bird or similar! The fact that I really can't make my mind up which it could be and the weird sense of doubt, to me, means that this has hit the mark perfectly.

I've been thinking about this video a lot since I first saw it. It's genuinely very unsettling.

At first I thought the sub-headings were summaries of sketches from the show (which I thought was an odd thing to do) so imagine my surprise that the article ends with announcing a new release of PyTorch.

The article consists of 5 different small articles.

Does anybody know where the new show by Trey Parker and Matt Stone called Sassy Justice is airing? Is it a free Youtube series?

I hold a similar view. In my opinion Deepfakes will help accelerate the end of the democracy experiment, and you know what? good riddance.

Only people that know you on, at least, a last name basis, should have political power over you.
