All relevant as to why CNN is covering IDF whistle-blowers. I don't care if you don't agree it is a fact that ai deepfakes are indistinguishable from photographs and videos at this very moment. You are not good at this.
Not good at what? Everytime I've made a point as to why a specific rationale doesn't jive you just make another one. Non-public AI technology had the ability to make deep fakes for years (hell the technology was somewhat public as people on the chans had been using them for porn for years), that is to say what I don't know of proof of isn't the existence of deep faking AI technology but rather that suddenly NOW is the time the US says to Israel to get bent because their blackmail no longer works, so the final point is possibly valid though highly speculative and the rest really don't fit. And instead of addressing any of the reasons why they don't make sense you would just create another reason. But I get it, this place was once an area for actual debate but now people just get extremely defensive over their ideas
Thinking
You asked a nonsensical, fear mongering question and I responded with reasons as to why CNN would be reporting this.
Do you think DARPA would announce the ability to create video indistinguishable from reality?
You are projecting you own emotional investment in this conversation.
My point was not to fear monger but to get at the idea that there's more to the fact that CNN is covering this than the story straight up and throwing out a possibility. It's funny that you have yet to refute anything but say I'm bad at "thinking", then go on to claim I'm the one getting defensive over my ideas. But that sequence of events only goes to prove my original point about what this place has become.
You clearly did not understand what I wrote at all if what you took away was that darpa needed to announce the technology for it to exist as I explained it has already existed for awhile and has even been in use on the Internet for years. However for your point to have any merit knowledge of such technology would probably need to be made widely available, because otherwise the blackmailing would still have value, since the idea behind the blackmailing is that it would destroy them in the eyes of the public.
The question is nonsensical because it can be answered correctly with "because they chose to" The motives of CNN are clear if you ask yourself who does it benefit?
We have passed the point where AI generated video can be distinguished from actual video. I used DARPA as an example of a private military lab on the cutting edge, it is one of many. These organizations wouldn't announce a strategic advantage. There will be no speed bump or CNN story announcing their news is now indistinguishable from what AI can generate, they would be out of a job.
