Tangent, but I think things like that will spell the end of remote working and remote interviewing.

Can we agree that it's fundamentally not a bad thing to develop a technology? If you were a legislator, how would you like to criminalize the development of technology? You know, the most difficult part of this tech is probably the facial tracking, which is probably also used for the animation of 3d avatars. The jump is probably not huge.
Many things can be unethical/immoral without being illegal, and of course there are some technologies that are fundamentally bad.
Let's say that the tech around this DeepFaceLive repo develops to the point that the repo can become just a 10-line file of glue that makes a 3d model that's just a grid plane with a picture on it that moves according to a webcam feed. Such a repo is redundant and anyone that wants this tech can just apply the repos mentioned in the previous paragraph to do the equivalent.
Are those repos now bad? If not, it seems the ethical question can be resolved by some restructuring of code so bad uses are not made so obvious, while being almost as easy.
I think it's a good thing. Not that it's being used for evil things, but because it should help make it obvious that you can't trust anything you see on a screen. Using fake media to trick people into believing anything used to be a privileged reserved for nation states and the ultra rich. Now that _ANYONE_ and their cat can do it, it should follow that nobody can believe anything that's on a screen anymore (this com…
Right. When that chaos happen, just remember that you will not be safe from it
edit: I’ll take your knee-jerk DV, and any others, as an admission of an inability to speak to positive utility of this technology.
an age old discussion. ultimately i prefer for this technology to be developed in the open on github and be aware of it (and able to combat nefarious use of it). the alternative is that its being developed hidden and used by the most vile and evil without many being aware of it (which it most definitely will) As with nuclear, the cats out of the bag or the babys bathwater(?) already spilled, no way to turn back the c…
now that it is in the open , any high school boy can create some porn deepfakes of their classmates and suicide rate will probably rise. Let's see if you still hold this view when one of your family members is a victim

1. I want to deepfake myself to have an avatar for online interaction.
2. I want to generate videos instead of filming by pasting people into existing videos.
3. Prevent a Face/Off of scenario.

We are lifing just fine with car related deaths. The rate is much higher than suicide rates. Bullying is alive and well even without this tech. I guess scissoring out a photo from the yearbook and glue it in a porn magazine would work as good. It is not about believability but about the psychological damage when it comes to bullying
In this case there isn't that much upside, it's basically only being used for non-consensual porn generation and impersonating people
