Zelensky video deepfake

#1

Post by osynavets »

Video with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky asking to retreat and surrender their weapons was published hours ago [1]. Although I must admit the quality of the video is mediocre, the voice of the president is a little unnatural and stagy, the color of the skin of the face doesn't match, though the facial expression is not bad. Nevertheless, here we are, deepfake video created specifically for war!

(PS: I'm Ukrainian and just try to be sarcastic about the whole thing which is horrific, be careful and take care) (PS2: considering our attitude towards the situation, we're not even taking this video serious)

I always find it interesting to watch the trickle down of news I find here on HN. I live in a very, very, very conservative part of the US. It always goes the same; see fake thing called out for being fake on HN. One week later, hear rumblings related to the fake thing in my community. One week after that, hear people openly talking about how that fake thing is true, but Google/MSM don't want you to hear about it.

Such as: Zelensky is a nazi, the Ukraine war is all CGI, anything related to Hillary or Bill Clinton (yes still), and so on and so forth.

Information dissemination must be similar to fluid dynamics. It just has to be.

If you include reactions, sure. But regular fluid dynamics very much leaves the substance intact. Water flows down a stream and is still water at the end.
