X’s new AI image generator will make anything from Taylor Swift in lingerie to Kamala Harris with a gun

  Generative AI isn’t the real risk. It’s letting musk go unchecked that is.

  I suspect the greatest threat is not that politicians and billionaires can create realistic images of their enemies, rather they can deny any evidence of their own misdeeds.

  Harris’ airport crowd serves as an example. Whether or not it really happened (I assume it did) MAGAs will have cause to plausibly believe it didn’t.

  Not that evidence to the contrary of belief systems has ever been effective at deprogramming those invested in their worldview.

    While I share this sentiment, I think/hope the eventual conclusion will be a better relationship between more people and the truth. Maybe not for everyone, but more people than before. Truth is always more like 99.99% certain than absolute truth, and it’s the collection of evidence that should inform ‘truth’. The closest thing we have to achieving that is the court system (In theory).

    You don’t see the electric wiring in your home, yet you ‘know’ flipping the switch will cause electricity to create light. You ‘know’ there is not some other mechanism in your walls that just happens to produce the exact same result. But unless you check, you technically didn’t know for sure. (And even then, your eyes might deceive you).

    With Harris’ airport crowd, honestly if you weren’t there, you have to trust second hand accounts. So how do you do that? One video might not say a lot, and honestly if I saw the alleged image in a vacuum I might have been suspicious of AI as well.

    But here comes the context. There are many eye witness perspectives where details can be verified and corroborates. The organizer isn’t an habitual liar. It happened at a time that wasn’t impossible (eg. a sort of ‘counter’-alibi). It happened in a place that isn’t improbable (She’s on the campaign trail). If true, it would require a conspiracy level of secrecy to pull of. And I could list so many more things.

    Anything that could be disproven with ‘It might have been AI’, probably would have not stuck in court anyways. It’s why you take testimony, because even though that proves nothing on it’s own, if corroborated with other information it can make one situation more or less probable.

      I don’t have the hope you do. The sheer number of people that believe the moon landing was faked is just plain crazy. There were soooo many people involved with that process, yet it’s still not believed.

    People are and always have been divorced from reality. Some people barely understand how their own house works, but nobody ever understood everything, and at no point you could be sure you know with absolute certainty what was going on 1000 miles away from you.

    Let us not act like generative AI is going to break the 4th wall of our perfect world. And I don’t even mean video or even image manipulation - basic text can and has been used for manipulation forever.

    Perhaps we should reexamine things we’ve had for decades, like signing content with PGP and building actual trust around the world.

  “We are all going to die because we have new technology, help us governments, regulate it so we don’t make too much human progress at a time!!!”

  I want to know what happened to “information wants to be free”.

    AIs aren’t real information.

    I think its more “Fuck you, pay me” now that Musk is running a few rubles short of what he needs to stay the world’s richest man.

    “Information wants to be free”, it never was. Thats only a small part of the quote. The whole quote is:

    Information Wants To Be Free. Information also wants to be expensive. …That tension will not go away.

  Oh boy! Can’t wait to experience the ramifications of this one!

  What’s next? Gonna try to recreate Deep Impact, just to see?

  And I’m sure nobody will be able to tell that it’s just generative AI by counting the “finglers.” /s

  But this is a blessing to bad actors who trade in rumors and conspiracy theories—many of whom just so happen to be on Xitter by Pure Coincidence™.

  My wife talked about how Grok apparently seemed promising in AI benchmarks for a while until everyone realised the way they’re winning is by absolutely blindly outspending everyone on GPUs and brute forcing the fuck out of the problem rather than having good anything.

  This seems to match that approach (and, more generally, everything Musk is doing).
