johnb820 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Are any of you familiar with these? It is software that can be used to fake someone's likeness or voice. In so far as I am aware, it seems that pictures of people are scraped from the internet and are used as a template for generating fake images. Now for a very long time I have been careful not to share a picture of myself on the internet, but I am pretty sure there is an unlikely source of images the AI scrapes, that being your emails. I had at one time emailed soundcloud support a picture of my ID to get my old soundcloud account recovered. They requested the picture so I sent it. They never actually replied to the email and the email just sat in my sent folder on protonmail. Two days ago I decided to delete that email and now I do believe there is no longer a picture of me for the deepfake software to make use of. My employer has a scan of my ID and a photo for my badge, but the general public should have no means of deepfaking me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veracohr Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Seems to me like your level of concern should be linked to the likelihood that your image would be used for a deepfake. Are you famous? Is there a particular reason your image would be used over someone else’s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolyLight Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 @johnb820 I totally understand your concern with regards to the wide-ranging privacy concerns that pretty much all apps and the internet as a whole poses to everyone these days. I think you might've read about Palantir and Clearview AI? The all-seeing eye sure has a long reach. This quote from The Lord of the Rings sums it up lol: "A palantir is a dangerous tool, Saruman. They are not all accounted for, the lost Seeing-stones. We do not know who else may be watching." https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2018-palantir-peter-thiel/?leadSource=uverify wall https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/18/technology/clearview-privacy-facial-recognition.html Those are the ones that spring to mind, but I'm sure those are just the tip of the ice-berg. TikTok surely must be the biggest trojan horse this planet has ever seen. The amount of biometric and personal data that app must be gathering is staggering.

I suppose something like this implemention of deepfake avatars in games, is Zuckerbergs end-game masterplan for the Metaverse. Love the FTP part, he a bad mofo. Someone should make a similar one with Kreepy Kanye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
