Imagine being the loser ass tool, Yisha Raziel, who made a deepfake of Bella Hadid saying she supports Israel. 🤮

If you’re reading this, I am telling you right now, you better second and third guess what you see and hear on social media and the news. Stick to reliable news sources. Vet them. Require multiple, trusted sources. Validate links to sources. In the last several months, I’ve seen the deepfake of President Nixon talking about the failed NASA mission that never happened. I’ve seen a deepfake of Joe Biden hilariously using profanity to trash talk Trump - Biden’s deepfake, however, was made to be intentionally obvious that it wasn’t his words, or something he would actually say.

But imagine a viral deepfake video of Biden announcing a nuclear strike on Russia within the next 20 minutes? Or a deepfake of Biden reintroducing the draft to support Israel? Or a deepfake of Biden withdrawing from the 2024 election and endorsing Trump…

These kinds of things are going to begin happening a lot more, especially with the proliferation of troll farms, and especially since YouTube, Twitter (I refuse to call it X), and Facebook have all eviscerated their verification and factcheck teams that used to at least attempt to limit disinformation and misinformation.

Pay attention, peeps.

Don’t get bamboozled.

we truly live in the nightmare dimension...

from the video description:

Is YouTube secretly applying an AI filter to Shorts without telling creators? I recently noticed my videos looked strange and smeary on YouTube compared to Instagram, almost like a cheap deep fake. In this video, I investigate what's going on and why I believe it's a massive problem for everyone on this platform. After talking with Rick Beato and seeing discussions on Reddit about the same "oil painting" effect on videos from creators like Hank Green, it's clear there is some kind of non-consensual AI upscaling being applied to our content. For me, this is a huge issue that threatens to erode the most important thing a creator has: the trust of their audience.

NOTE: NBC needs to green light ASAP a 2 hour LAW & ORDER: SVU w/ special guest star: Taylor Swift. Everyone would watch it. It would be topical and shine more public awareness on this issue. Plus, the ratings would be HUGE!!!

Misinformation won't change until people with massive followings and channels gain integrity and post for beneficial reasons instead of engagement. And they never will.

Unless there is regulation around actively spreading misinformation there's no incentive for influencers to do any research. They can spew vile horrible things and then maybe a few years later they'll pay a hefty fine like Alex Jones. But that's still several years of spouting misinformation for engagement that's influenced millions of people.

Regulation doesn't act fast enough and influencers have no incentive to do a shred of research or have any accountability for what they post.

With the rise of AI and rapid advances in deep fakes it's only going to get harder to tell what's real and what's fake, even with a strong sense of media literacy and heavy scepticism.

Once something is on the internet and catches, it's out there. People have proven they can't be bothered checking if something is real especially if it aligns with how they value themselves and they're caught up in the virality of it.

That only leaves the social media platforms to regulate and they won't or can't scale it adequately. And they also have weird rules about specific celebrities and public figures being above their regulation which makes zero sense.

If there's ever a time to reduce internet usage it's probably now.

I'm genuinely terrified for this deregulated and chaotic time of technology and social media we are entering.
