I hope the fakeness becomes so overwhelming, that everyone decides to ditch the internet and throw the baby out with the bathwater.
I’ve neutralised their threat by just not having any friends
Did you also see that they’re only allowing one to opt out After spotting violations? As if copyright law worked backwards all of a sudden. Deeply unserious company
Not new, but still relevant and accurate:
AI videos. This is going to kill the truth. If still alive. Masse manipulation made even easier for social media.
OpenAI today announced the launch of Sora, an invite-only AI video app and social network. Sora lets you create realistic AI videos of yourself, friends, and other people.
Sora uses the Sora 2 video generation model, which OpenAI says is more physically accurate, realistic, and controllable than prior systems. It is able to generate complex movements while better obeying the laws of physics, and OpenAI says it excels at realistic, cinematic, and anime styles.
Sora 2 supports generating video that also includes audio, such as real-sounding speech, background soundscapes, and sound effects.
The AI model is able to observe a video of a person and then insert them into a Sora-generated environment while accurately portraying their appearance and voice, which is the basis for the new Sora app.
With the Sora app, you can create a video of yourself that can then be inserted into "cameos," which are short videos that are shared with others on the Sora social network. You can opt to allow other people to create cameos with your likeness as well. You can choose who can use your cameo, and you will see all videos that include cameos with your likeness, even drafts before they are published to the network.
OpenAI designed Sora to show you content based on people you follow or interact with, and the app will poll you regularly on your wellbeing. There are controls to modify what's displayed in a feed, and OpenAI says that it is meant to be used with friends. For that reason, Sora is invite only, ensuring people join the app alongside people they know.
The Sora app for iOS is available to download now, and it can be used in the United States and Canada. Those invited to the app will be able to use Sora 2 on the Sora website.
Sora 2 is free for now, and ChatGPT Pro users have access to the Sora 2 Pro model on Sora.com.

Finally! 🙏
Another punch in the face for all the brain-limited conservatives who still cling to candlelight and refuse to accept reality and the future of singularity.

Will definitely try this out once I get access to it. Impressive to see the capabilities of AI.
Excellent!
This reminds me of all the talks back in the day about genetic engineering for crops and all the industry was saying was that it could be used to end famine worldwide. Instead we got crop lock-ins and high food inflation 🤣
It may do the opposite and finally start inoculating people again. Early internet days it was a joke to never trust anything on the internet. Then we entered some weird time where people believed everything they read/saw on the internet. Hopefully we're finally swinging back the other way.
As far as Sora 2, it looks really cool and could be another tool to unlock creativity. I have multiple coding agents working for me right now only limited by my imagination.
Remember this : very soon, some people will find a way to hack and abuse this, and they will use pictures from some of YOU to scam your friends, parents, or coworkers. Or to defame and slander you ( for whatever reason : revenge, pettiness, jealousy etc..) by making fake videos of you saying or doing compromising stuff.
The lack of responsibility and sense of ethics in the Silicon Valley is truly astounding.

Congratulations big tech, not only have you successfully poisoned the planet with electronic waste & irresponsible use of data centre energy, you have now begun the contamination of that (now thin) layer of accepted reality remaining on the internet with these pointless low-barrier-to-entry media automation tools.
Agreed on the inoculation, but times have changed and people are a lot more reliant on the digital world. Older non-techy people transitioned via smartphone and newer generations are birthed into it.
We had the perspective of growing up without being terminally online (thanks dial-up!) or being coerced online via smartphones (Im assuming you pre-date that), so it made sense to not trust random ***** online or any people speaking from self-appointed authority, ie. “influencers”, “content-creators”, etc.
How can one be told not to believe anything online when the phone is now an extension of the hand?
It was eye opening recently, I went to a music festival where there was no paper for stage maps, timetables or well anything really. No cash accepted either. Everything was all done through a phone and it seemed like common sense to younger people.
The IT head in me could only see the amount of api requests sent per second via every patrons festival app to the servers, the amount of battery consumed to read timetables, maps and pay for items etc.
One good thing about these AI tools is that I finally see conversations being brought forward about data-centre energy-consumption for the first meaningful time. Long overdue considering Instagram, Reddit, Youtube, TikTok and so on’s impact on the energy grid but I digress.
Long story short, that common sense online believability mantra you are referring may not be feasible any more.
Sorry for throwing all that at you but it just got me thinking, or probably ranting would be more appropriate!
