Well maybe stop shoving the tech that does that down everyone’s throats? Just a thought 🤷♂️
The best solution to any problem is to go back in time to before the problem was created, sure. That cat’s so far out of the bag, and it’s only going to multiply and evolve.
I mean, yeah that’s true, but harm reduction is also a thing that exists. Usually it’s mentioned in the context of drugs, but it could easily apply here.
Interesting take, addiction to the convenience provided by AI driving the need to get more. I suppose at the end of the day it’s probably the same brain chemistry involved. I think that’s what you’re getting at?
I’m any case, this tech is only going to get better, and more commonplace. Take it, or run for the hills.
No, harm reduction would be recognizing that an object as causing harm, that people will use that object anyway, and doing what we can to minimize the harms caused by that use.
It’s less about addiction and brain chemistry than simple math. If harm is being caused, and it can be reduced, reduce it.
Ah, so more like self-harm prevention, gotcha.
I guess like any tool, whether it is help or harm depends on the user and usage.
I’m heading for the hills then. I’m perfectly capable of thinking for myself without delegating that to some chatbot.
Everyone is. As time and tech progresses, you’re going to find that it becomes increasingly difficult to avoid without going off-grid entirely.
Do you really think corps aren’t going to replace humans with AI, any later than they can profit by doing so? That states aren’t going eventually to do the same?
Is that the same Microsoft company that has poured billions of dollars into that same thing they’re warning us about?
Yes, this is the “we’re the good ones” flex. And anytime they do this, there has to be a big bad boogeyman elsewhere to blame without evidence or consequence.

Life is an equation. For a deep fake of a celebrity to be made you need 1.a celebrity, 2.a person to make the fake, 3.deep fake tech. You have to try to remove one of those from the equation to make it stop.
Except the horse is out of the bag. You cannot uninvent the technology any more than you can negate the other parts of that triangle.
Or we can simply accept and restrict it like all the other dangerous things in our lives.
We’ve opened Pandora’s box. There’s no going back.
He also revealed that about nine months ago his team conducted a deep dive into how these groups are using AI to influence elections.
“In just the last few months, the most effective technique that’s been used by Russian actors has been posting a picture and putting a real news organization logo on that picture,” he observed. “That gets millions of shares.”
information as we know it is over, people have access to the most devilish of AI technology: Copy and Paste
wow this article is bad
I think the point was that it is easier and faster to generate that image you put the logo on than ever before, not that it was a comment on “logo inserting technology”
I like that they choose the least convincing fake pictures. Its not really helping their argument.
Did anyone else think nuclear power trio when they saw the pic?
Didn’t Microsoft literally make a deepfake detector just a few months ago?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
As hundreds of millions of voters around the globe prepare to elect their leaders this year, there’s no question that trolls will try to sway the outcomes using AI, according to Clint Watts, general manager of Microsoft’s Threat Analysis Center.
Watts said his team spotted the first Russian social media account impersonating an American ten years ago.
Initially, Redmond’s threat hunters (using Excel, of course) tracked Russian trolls testing their fake videos and images on locals, then moving on to Ukraine, Syria and Libya.
Watts’ team tracks government-linked threat groups from Russia, Iran, China, plus other nations around the world, he explained.
He also revealed that about nine months ago his team conducted a deep dive into how these groups are using AI to influence elections.
Videos set in public with a well-known speaker at a rally or an event attended by a large group of people are harder to fake.
