Well, this is a solid admission that they are going to use deep fakes to influence elections.
Noo we just demand this specific instance of deregulation because… uh, it theoretically might help small businesses!
Also why would you even care about anything other than short-term GDP increase. Are you some kind of communist?!?
Are least it’s evidence that worry they might need to need to influence anther election.
Silver lining…?
“what do you mean we can’t use fake misleading videos to fuck democracy?”
“The rules were you guys weren’t gonna fact check.”
“You guys aren’t gonna use AI for bad stuff, right?”
Tech oligarchs: whaaaaaat no we actually want to be regulated because of how dangerous this technology is!! Also tech oligarchs:
“The rules were that you guys weren’t going to fact-check.”
Delivering that line with such glee like he thought he had some sort of high ground.
Makes me sick.
How isn’t this immediately a red flag?
Remember when this stuff was called "the quiet part’, and it was considered bad when you said it out loud?
Yeah…good times.
I member
Minnesota scraps that law and uses Elon’s deepfakes to claim he wants to destroy Medicare
Elon calls for laws banning deepfakes
This is what the right is doing, while the DNC is censuring their own members for simply encouraging democrats to run against their own apathetic incumbents.
You misspelled pathetic.
Can we join forces and spam X with a flood of Informative deep fakes of select individuals?
You could, but it would just be limited reach. There is no way to fight back using his own platform beyond just not going there.
Something that has been bothering me lately. Reasonable people who counter the toxic misinformation leaving the platform only allows the disease to grow and spread. But reality is they weren’t reaching the people that needed the dose of reality anyway. And then I realized that the algorithms have always been the disease, my feeds are my own echo chamber to drive engagement, just as theirs are. I’ve pretty much cut all social networks out. The only way to change minds is honest respectable conversation, and I am not a person to change anyone’s mind.
We’re fucked
What a fucking chode.
If you need it to be legal to deepfake to manipulate politics you’re the problem.
Here the guy that was going to leave politics and go back to Tesla.
Now now, fElon was simply placating Tesla investors on a very dark earnings call day.
Somehow I think they all wish for him to stay as far from the Tesla brand as possible.
Cool. Let’s go with criminal impersonation, defamation, and slander/libel instead them!
Why would they want to “influence elections”?
Sounds shady.
It’s a huge part of the business model. Social Media is valuable for its data on people, and for its ability to manipulate and influence people.
And the Fake News crowd goes wild! By the way, that’s conservatives and all of their media.
Elon Musk, Republican President who is literally BANKROLLING THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY, SUING because he can’t Create Fake News with AI, is PROOF that DEMOCRATS are the Fake News!
Musk is holding the Democrats smoking gun!
