An app could add a unique key signature as an invisible watermark to any picture captured by a user. That key could contain various meta-data, such as an ID of the app that created it, the date and time of creation, a unique user ID, etc. Before being embedded in the image, it would first be salted and hashed like any password should be, which guarantees that no software could spoof a particular key or reverse engineer the data it contains from the image containing it.

It could then be checked against a hash lookup by the app that created it (using a stored private key) to verify the authenticity of an image.

This could prove that a picture used as evidence in a court case is not a deepfake, though it does nothing to prevent people from creating deepfakes that do not have such watermarks.

But if this became ubiquitous, it could effectively stop deepfakes from being mistaken for authentic pictures. If every camera app automatically watermarked every photo it takes with a unique hashed key, then any photo taken by a particular app could be verified against some database somewhere containing the private key used to decrypt the key in the watermark.

Yeah, this kind of stuff happening hurts me deeply.

So many of these companies are full of prudish cowards. This technology needs to be free to all, not sterilized to the point where I end up despising it.

Funny thing, the ones who scream about diversity are some of the most sterile and uncompromising people imaginable. Can't wait for the people without corporate billions and with some heart to actually get a whack at this tech.. It's going to change the world, hopefully they are able to unfold its potential before all the cowards pull up the ladder behind them..

If u guys find that alternative, let me know please lol.

The problem in part is that we view sex as some taboo that needs to be hidden. In the future, it's going to be even more open.. Video porn has already largely desensitized ppl. Long gone are the days of showing ankle as being sexually risqué.

Deep nude is a thing and what do you think that technology will be more likely to do? Be used as a weapon? Or used to the point that people stop being so worried about something as inane as nudity.. Large parts of the world don't care about it.. have communal baths, or outright just dont view nudity as sexual.

This stuff will result in culture shock and a radical change in generational norms. Your generation freaked out when Jill had her nudes leaked. The ones coming after deep fake will just not care, and will think you a weird old person with weird cultural beliefs when you do. They will look at you and I the way we looked at our great grand parents demanding we finish everything on our plates, because they were raised by a generation alive before the creation of refrigeration..

this was the only logical progression, better for it to master abstract concepts and progress into more concrete jobs where the systems are predicated off of the abstractions.

Post your pictures only in place where only your friends can see them or don't post them at all - ask yourself if you need to even post them in the first place. Maybe choose to show your photos to your friends during meetings instead. The only way for a photo to not be usable by some future AI is to turn it into random noise which defeats the purpose of posting it.

Paranoia speedrun 101. A creep will get your photo anyways. Projecting your fears on random men will only be detrimental to your mental health and social relations.

Do you not think that the proliferation of it has been significantly reduced to the point where it’s extremely rare and unusual to meet someone that possesses it now? Be logical. If they can get deepfakes to that point, that’s a W. No matter how you try to spin it.

There are limits to ML, but it's not that blue collar work will be immune from it. In fact we are already seeing increasing use of robotics in areas that were previously thought to be too variable and unpredictable for them like construction sites.

Nor have computers replaced theoretical physicists. They just made it necessary for most physicists to also have an above average grasp of programing.
