Realistic AI video generation will put us firmly in a post-truth era. If those videos were 25% more realistic it would be indistinguishable from a real interview.

The speed with which you’ll be able to create and disseminate propaganda is mind blowing. Imagine what a 3 letter agency could do with their level of resources.

The problem isn’t the fakery, it’s this speed of dissemination on algorithmic social media. It’s increasingly looking like the modern West’s Roman lead pipes.

Yet people in this very website are 200% hyped about GenAI because it makes it easier to generate slop frontend code or whatever.

People on this website are externalized from the consequences of their actions or make blog posts about how they went on a digital detox retreat, joined a cult, found themselves, left the cult, and founded a new startup that will not be evil until it needs VC money then joins YC and starts being evil.
