Amy Klobuchar learned that a video clip of her was going viral. So she clicked on it and saw her face and her voice saying vulgar things she had never said. It was AI.

    Hard to imagine how they're going to take down deepfakes without limiting freedom of information or how they will prove who made the content.

      Well they already have a leg up with the TAKE IT DOWN Act that Democrats worked with Ted Cruz and Trump to get passed.

        To my knowledge, that only covers pornographic content.

      Similarly, libs hated guns so much, they let the fucking COPS have the right to arbitrarily deny you a gun permit* under so called “may issue” laws.

      Yea no fuck that lol. They would just let white people have guns and non-whites seeking a gun for self-defence will be denied because “they look suspicious”

      You can never trust the police. Arm yourselved, form a well-regulated militia to protect your community.

      *“may issue” laws were in effect in many Democratic jurisdictions until 2022, when, ironically, the fascists on the supreme court struck them down.

    Klobuchar will just use this as another rallying cry to tear down Section 230 and make the internet even worse. You can read it yourself, but earlier this year she tried to use a 19 year old ODing on fentanyl he bought off Snapchat as a reason to “… get rid of or reform section 230 …”

    Not sure how that’s going to stop people from ODing on adulterated narcotics, but maybe supporting harm reduction and mental health services would be a better use of my tax payer money.

      It’s this one, although I can’t find the original, only this reaction to it.

        Ok, that’s actually funny, but the douchebag on the left forgets how easy it is to troll the right. Remember how hard they lost their minds with the milquetoast “weirdos”? Case in point.

      She has a well earned reputation of sounding in private just like in the video . I’m sure the video is not her, but it was really accurate in tone; which is why it’s getting traction

    I mean… Yes, that is what deepfakes are. I am sorry it happened to poor old Amy, and I whish her vulgar, algorythmic doppelganger wouldn’t have said awul things but… If this is news to you you might have not be paying attention for a while.
