Fake Biden video prompts call for Meta to label posts

"Since the quality of AI deception and the ways you can do it keeps improving and shifting this is an important element to keep the policy dynamic as AI and usage gets more pervasive or more deceptive, or people get more accustomed to it," Mr Gregory said.

He added focusing on labelling fake posts would be an effective solution for some content, such as videos which have been recycled or recirculated from a previous event, but he was sceptical about the effectiveness of automatically labelling content manipulated using emerging AI tools.

No you make videos of Trump saying he wants open boarders. Or that we need to raise taxes. Or police need to be de-funded. Things that are awful to his voters.

If they don’t believe he said things to them live, and in person… it doesn’t matter. They won’t believe anything negative anyway.

This isn’t for the die hard trumpers, it’s for the people who are actually persuadable; and lying about it… is just going to fuel the fake news narrative.

We don’t have to be dishonest, he’s awful enough, so why shoot yourself in the foot with it?

Bad idea. Moderates would then see him as a moderate candidate.

By making deepfakes saying he's for things moderates oppose?

Moderates, by definition, don't oppose anything strongly, or they wouldn't be moderates.

They oppose progressives very strongly indeed. They never oppose conservatives or fascists in any meaningful way.

Then we use the same term to refer to different groups.

Someone who opposes a progressive strongly is a conservative. Some conservatives call themselves moderates because they know a large percentage of women won't fuck conservatives.

Then the Democratic Party contains a lot of conservatives, since they oppose progressives more strongly than they've ever opposed fascists.
