WE TOLD YOU.

For almost a decade we told you that Republicans had no interest in actual governance. Political positions are nothing more than a way to line their pockets, as well as the pockets of their bourgeois owners. They had eight years under Obama to work with Democrats to craft legislation that would benefit our nation; they obstructed at every turn. They had a year on their own to craft legislation that would benefit the nation as a whole; they did nothing.

WE TOLD YOU.

Deepfakes has democratized the creation of extremely realistic video faceswapping, especially in porn

Late last year, a redditor called Deepfakes gained notoriety for the extremely convincing face-swap porn videos he was making, in which the faces of mainstream Hollywood actors and rockstars were convincingly overlaid on the bodies of performers in pornography.

Deepfakes created his own subreddit dedicated to the practice and one of the habitues there created Fakeapp, an app that makes it significantly easier to create your own deepfakes.

Now, /r/deepfakes is filling up with convincing pornographic faceswaps of celebrities, and when they escape the confines of the subreddit, they get posted to tabloid sites as “genuine” sex-tapes.

The tool, meanwhile, is undergoing rapid development, making strides in usability and polish of its output, heralding a day, very soon, when we will see a lot of these fakes and struggle immensely to distinguish them from reality. They needn’t be pornographic, of course – you could faceswap Gandhi onto the aggressor in a beat-down, or Mike Pence onto Pride leather parade-float dancer.
