“what do you mean we can’t use fake misleading videos to fuck democracy?”
“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:
“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.
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.
Here the guy that was going to leave politics and go back to Tesla.
Well, this is a solid admission that they are going to use deep fakes to influence elections.
can elon and linda hurry up and die already
Rich people live a lot longer than us.
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.
Remember when this stuff was called "the quiet part’, and it was considered bad when you said it out loud?
Yeah…good times.
I member
How isn’t this immediately a red flag?
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.
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.
What a fucking chode.
If you need it to be legal to deepfake to manipulate politics you’re the problem.
Minnesota scraps that law and uses Elon’s deepfakes to claim he wants to destroy Medicare
Elon calls for laws banning deepfakes
Why would they want to “influence elections”?
Sounds shady.
My state will see you in court.
X’s lawsuit claims the law’s “requirements are so vague and unintelligible that social media platforms cannot understand what the statute permits and what it prohibits.”
Vague, overly broad laws are indeed a problem; I’m willing to give him that. ONLY that.
Unfortunately for Musk, this is not vague. If the footage is something you created or manipulated, you know perfectly damn well whether it’s legal or not. He’s trying to confuse the issue, and conflate fraud with free speech. Hopefully, the court will see right through him.
