  • Yeah I read another article on this and it's very unclear what was illegal. If I had to guess they're getting him on the technicalities of the process rather than on the actual streaming.

    Edit: so I looked it up and realized wire fraud is "electronic" fraud, not bank wiring - Online definition

    Which given the way the guy did it definitely seems to meet that definition.

  • One solution that's been proposed is to cryptographic ally sign content. This way someone can prove they "made" the content. It doesn't prove the content is real, but means you can verify the originator.

    However, at the end of the day, you're still stuck with needing to decide who you trust.

  • I was responding to an above comment. The guy who was arrested in op's article was posting clips from movies (so not deep fakes).

    That being said, for deepfakes, you'd need the original video to prove it was deepfaked. Additionally, you'd then probably need to prove they used a real person to make the deep fake. Nowadays it's easy to make "fake" people using AI. Not sure where the law sits on creating deepfakes of fake people who resemble other people.

  • Why do you not know how to feel about it?

    To me it's just clip collection, you could have a collection of all death scenes or car cashes. They're all just clips from videos people agreed to make for public consumption.

  • It's messy legislation all around. When does it become porn vs art vs just erotic or satirical? How do you prove it was a deep fake and not a lookalike? If I use a porn actress to make a deep fake is that also illegal or is it about how the original source content was intended to be used/consumed?

    I'm not saying that we should just ignore these issues, but I don't think any of this will be handled well by any government.

  • I mean, can you fault someone for thinking Trump was unelectable?

    While Hillary/Democratic party are at fault how they treated democrats during that election cycle, I think the US at large was at fault for its overall outcome.
