This database of political deepfakes is really interesting! It suggests that deepfakes are more often used for satire that doesn't aim to even *look* real - instead of to trick people into believing false things.

Tilly Norwood — the so-called “AI actress” — feels less like progress and more like propaganda. The rollout isn’t about art or tech; it’s about softening the idea that gen AI belongs in Hollywood as a replacement for people. What’s creepy is how it’s marketed: “agents are interested,” “she could be the next Scarlett Johansson.” The goal isn’t to sell a movie. It’s to sell the inevitability that AI will be the new normal. Beneath the buzz, Tilly’s still a digital puppet needing human handlers. The only real actors here are the execs trying to convince us this is the future of storytelling.
TL;DR
Not an actress, a digital puppet
“AI actors” = PR stunt, not progress
Normalization is the real goal
SAG-AFTRA’s concerns are the story

"Sora, made by OpenAI, makes it disturbingly easy to put people’s faces and voices into AI videos. You record a short selfie video to create a “cameo” profile and choose who can access it — friends, everyone or just yourself. Anyone with access can type a few words describing what they want to see you doing and generate a clip in minutes.
You have to opt in to share your face, but you don’t get to approve what people make with it. The app sends you a notification after someone creates a video of you. (Sora is also a social network like TikTok, except everything you see is AI generated.) You can remove a video featuring your likeness from inside the Sora app. But by then its creator has already seen it, possibly shared, and maybe even downloaded and posted it in a different social app.
Sora pushes the idea of consent — or having say over how you appear online — into uncomfortable territory. Until recently, using AI to fake someone’s likeness was called a deepfake and considered taboo. Now OpenAI has rebranded it as a cameo and made it the social activity of the week. Lost in the wave of LOLs is what it actually feels like to lose control of your own face.
To understand both the technical and interpersonal dynamics of this, I asked my very creative colleague Chris Velazco to go wild making Sora videos of me. He made a fake DUI video and dozens more, including one of Ronald Reagan appointing me “Chair of the National Council of Lying to Children.” (The Washington Post has a content partnership with OpenAI, but I review all tech with the same critical eye.)"

You can’t libel the dead. But that doesn’t mean you should deepfake them.

It is alleged (by The Citizen Lab, at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy at the University of Toronto), that Israel is using AI to create online "influence operations" aimed at "regime change" in Iran, starting with a deepfake of IDF air strikes on Evin Prison in Tehran.

#TIL wenig überraschende Dinge:
1. „statistische Immunität” – mach deinen Online-Scam mit minimalem Aufwand (KI-#Deepfakes) und maximaler Breitenwirkung (baller Insta-Opfer mit Ads zu), aber so minimalen Beträgen, dass niemand den Hassle einer Anzeige auf sich nimmt.
2. überwachungskapitalistische Werbe-Plattformen zur Verantwortung zu ziehen, wirkt (No Shit, Sherlock)

New York Times: Spam and Scams Proliferate in Facebook’s Political Ads. This link goes to a gift article. “The ads are a lucrative part of Facebook’s advertising revenue that, the project’s researchers and others say, has led the company to turn a blind eye to a flood of low-quality or deceptive content, spam and in some cases outright fraud on the platform.”
NiemanLab: Scammers are using video deepfakes of journalists to peddle products online. “For years, scammers have been doctoring clips of public figures to promote products on social media. But with the rise of AI-generated video, these schemes are increasingly using the likenesses of journalists — particularly broadcast journalists — to peddle their products.”
Deepfakes once needed mastery and time. Now tools like OpenAI’s Sora let anyone create realistic fakes in seconds. This isn’t just concerning - it’s a real danger if not properly governed.
