The Deepfake Scams You're Not Ready For
Why Seeing Is No Longer Believing
I was recently sent a link to a YouTube video with a note that said, “If this doesn’t get you mad, nothing will.”
I watched the video and saw people burning flags, fighting police, and destroying a city in high definition.
The problem, however, was that the video was a completely fake product of AI.
That’s why this next video is so important. It is one minute and forty seconds of essential viewing. A reminder that we live in a time where the phrase, “I saw it with my own eyes,” is almost meaningless.
Some commentators, like Seth Godin, think we’re likely on the cusp of a cultural doom spiral caused by realistic fake AI videos. But I remain optimistic.
Humans will adapt, and the truth will continue to have meaning. However, scams will get better, and people who want to scare you into making bad financial decisions will continue to get more convincing.
Stay alert, remain skeptical, and don’t believe everything you see on the internet.
Happy 4th of July!
Here are a few more pictures from last weekend’s lacrosse tournament in Park City.
The kids may have complained about a lack of oxygen, but it was a pretty spectacular place to watch lacrosse.
Between games, we learned that my daughter was not built for a life on the dusty road.
