I'm guessing that finding a technology to try to detect this would be over-engineering. I'd love to see a sample where the person with the swapped face passes their hand with spread fingers over their face, and see how it handles that.

I've tried it, it currently does not handle that scenario well at all.

Wait three months, it'll be fixed.

> I've notice I've steadily become more ashamed to be associated with tech Are you actively contributing to these areas you feel ashamed about? If not, you shouldn't really feel ashamed about what other people chose to work on, even if both of you work "in tech". I'm sure not all people working on medical research agrees with what all other researchers are working on, but you cannot really control what others are wor…

you shouldn't really feel ashamed about what other people chose to work on, even if both of you work "in tech". Why not? Someone who builds boxes that hold bombs can be ashamed of being in the munitions industry, even if they don't make the actual bombs.

Right, but if you're in general "manufacturing", there isn't much point of feeling ashamed about some parts of the industry focusing on munitions manufacturing.

Technically impressive but I fail to see a good use case for it that's not related to propaganda or scam and the website doesn't seem to list one either.

One legitimate one I could imagine is if people want to pursue a career in the adult film industry but without having to reveal their true face (not with a celebrity face of course)

FTA: "Ethical Use Safeguards Built-in checks prevent processing of inappropriate content, ensuring legal and ethical use." I see it claims to not process content with nudity, but all of the examples on the website demo impersonation of famous people, including at least one politician (JD Vance). I'm struggling to understand what the authors consider 'ethical' deepfaking? What is the intended 'ethical' use case here?…

# process image to videos if modules.globals.nsfw == False: from modules.predicter import predict_video if predict_video(modules.globals.target_path): destroy()

I'm a big fan of explicit checks like this.

Well, I understand how it works, and I still find it freaking amazing. The quality is... impressive. On the flip side, the ability to deep-fake a face in real time on a video call is now accessible to pretty much every script kiddie out there. In other words, you can no longer trust what your eyes see on video calls. We live in interesting times.

I recommend setting up code words with people. I haven't gone that far myself yet, but in my mind, there are clear phrases I could say to the people in my life that they would be convinced it was me. Unfortunately, until I have the specific talk with them, I suppose anybody could impersonate me to them.

For many (notably mastercard and VISA), when they say “ethical” they really mean anything but porn.

that seems like an overreaction. the card processors ban much more questionable trades - such as weapons and terrorism financing

That's because the state is forcing them to.

Facinating software although I hope the idea "we're gonna rely on people to be good humans and DO THE RIGHT THING" is quickly abandoned and instead there is just as robust development of detection software that goes along with newer and better deep fake tools.

Detection is ultimately impossible. Anything you can detect can be explicitly evaded.

I dream of a world where a web of trust signatures are taken seriously. A few hops should get you to a real human holding the camera who claims it's a real recording. If that person or someone along the way is regularly flagged as malicious by others that you trust, you can blacklist them.

You won't know the difference.
