She was careful online, but this Toronto teen was still targeted with deepfake porn

This is an interesting problem, since anyone, anywhere in the world can create nude deepfakes of anyone else, using any (fully clothed) photo as a starting point. In #Canada at least distributing these images of children is a crime, as they are child pornography, but in this case it was not distributed, just emailed to the victim as part of what may have been a #phishing scheme. It looks like police did nothing from what the story says.

You might get the police to act if the image was of a child and it was posted online and they can identify who did it and the person is in the same country, otherwise forget it. Overall I suspect that police are not going to be effective in these cases. Our national facility, Cybertip.ca received complaints about 4,000 of sexually explicit deepfakes in the past year, so I doubt they took any action. It does seem from the article that there is nothing that can be done to prevent this, and hard as it may be, the best course is probably just to treat it like a scam phone call and ignore it.

I suspect we are going to see a lot more of this, particularly if it upsets people. Also this seems to be something that is going to victimize younger people far more than old people. There might yet be some advantage to getting old.

X is onder Musk een gevaar voor de democratie geworden. Ga weg bij X!

Teun van de Keuken (Trouw) (€)

(...) Helaas is dat aangename [van Twitter] in de loop der jaren steeds meer vervangen door haat en gif. Al jaren wordt het cliché ‘afvoerputje’ gebruikt. (...)

Sinds Twitter in handen is van de machtswellustige narcist Musk is het probleem groter geworden dan een onprettige toon. X is een gevaarlijk platform geworden dat, zoals de Braziliaanse opperrechter goed begrijpt, een gevaar is voor democratie. (...)

Het sociale medium is inmiddels een instrument geworden om de democratie te ondermijnen en duistere krachten aan de macht te helpen. Als weldenkend mens wil je daar niet aan bijdragen. Hoe meer mensen het verlaten, hoe minder succesvol het kan zijn. Ga weg bij X!

On Tuesday, Microsoft Research Asia unveiled VASA-1, an AI model that can create a synchronized animated video of a person talking or singing from a single photo and an existing audio track. In the future, it could power virtual avatars that render locally and don't require video feeds—or allow anyone with similar tools to take a photo of a person found online and make them appear to say whatever they want.


Here we go again... What they are capable of creating with AI tech is incredible. I do enjoy the development of AI and all its uses that can be of help or entertainment for us.

Though it come with challenges. When general trust goes out the window some gatekeepers will take up the role to enforce trust and present themselves as the keeper and judge of truth, that worries me greatly. AI used extensively in the wrong way can lead to so much mistrust that someone has to come inn and enforce monopoly on trust. With that much power, temptations arise.

On the other hand, maybe we will learn to go back to analog for truth.
In any case, the need to learn how to be skeptical of any digital content only grow. Separating fake from real is a most needed skill set.

Everyone present on the video calls except the victim was a fake representation of real people. The scammers applied deepfake technology to turn publicly available video and other footage into convincing versions of the meeting’s participants.
