Well, this is a solid admission that they are going to use deep fakes to influence elections.
Minnesota scraps that law and uses Elon’s deepfakes to claim he wants to destroy Medicare
Elon calls for laws banning deepfakes
can elon and linda hurry up and die already
Rich people live a lot longer than us.
So is their position that deception via impersonation is free speech?
My state will see you in court.
Something only a childish brat would even think to try
“what do you mean we can’t use fake misleading videos to fuck democracy?”
Can we join forces and spam X with a flood of Informative deep fakes of select individuals?
You could, but it would just be limited reach. There is no way to fight back using his own platform beyond just not going there.
Something that has been bothering me lately. Reasonable people who counter the toxic misinformation leaving the platform only allows the disease to grow and spread. But reality is they weren’t reaching the people that needed the dose of reality anyway. And then I realized that the algorithms have always been the disease, my feeds are my own echo chamber to drive engagement, just as theirs are. I’ve pretty much cut all social networks out. The only way to change minds is honest respectable conversation, and I am not a person to change anyone’s mind.
We’re fucked
Link me some and I’ll have fun with it.
How isn’t this immediately a red flag?
because one side is prioritizing democratic principles and the other is making an argument that could be related to the first amendment. Twitter absolutely isn’t doing this for any good reason, but the argument could be used for one.
If you have to tell deliberate lies to influence people then that isn’t democracy. That’s fascism or at least a kakistocracy - the worst and stupidest rule because they can’t get elected otherwise. Fuck twisting the First Amendment into a tool of lies and corruption.
the problem I have is that the law (609.772) appears to not only apply to political content, but all content that is
"so realistic that a reasonable person would believe it depicts speech or conduct of an individual who did not in fact engage in such speech or conduct; " and made without consent and wintin 90 days of political party conventions or after absentee voting starts.
By the way it is written the “presidents play Minecraft” series which most informed people would fully understand was not made my any presidents would likely fall under this law.
I propose for every lie someone tells, we (we’ll vote on who) gets to punch them in the face.
There are so many flags right now it’s just a sea of red undulations. Done by design, so that we don’t notice the death of democracy.
They overwhelm everyone knowing that 80% of this shit is gonna get outlawed or overturned, but that 20% that gets through is gonna be huge for them.
This is what the right is doing, while the DNC is censuring their own members for simply encouraging democrats to run against their own apathetic incumbents.
You misspelled pathetic.
Why would they want to “influence elections”?
Sounds shady.
It’s a huge part of the business model. Social Media is valuable for its data on people, and for its ability to manipulate and influence people.
Cool. Let’s go with criminal impersonation, defamation, and slander/libel instead them!
“The rules were that you guys weren’t going to fact-check.”
Delivering that line with such glee like he thought he had some sort of high ground.
Makes me sick.
“You guys aren’t gonna use AI for bad stuff, right?”
Tech oligarchs: whaaaaaat no we actually want to be regulated because of how dangerous this technology is!! Also tech oligarchs:
Remember when this stuff was called "the quiet part’, and it was considered bad when you said it out loud?
Yeah…good times.
