My friends have been trying hard to fight disinformation on WeChat this #AbElection2023

We did not want to share this because of the great shame it would bring to our community.

But everyone who #abvotes Monday should know the truth @ElectionsAB This propoganda will bring ...
A fake tweet claiming to be from @albertaNDP leader @RachelNotley was shared on several Alberta WeChat groups.

It positions Rachel as allowing kids access to gender affirming surgeries without parental consent.

This is false.
@ElectionsAB #AbElection2023 #abvotes A fake Rachel Notley tweet ...
The fake tweet has many mistakes obvious to native English speakers

proud as “pround”

“christian fascism”

Our province as “alberta”

“Enough is Enough”

“affirm their childs”

Learning a new language is hard so I don’t take issue with the text

Gestern war ich bei @maybritillner zu Gast und habe mit @EskenSaskia @mmeckel @Achim_Berg und @RangaYogeshwar zum Thema #künstlicheIntelligenz diskutiert. Die ganze Sendung gibts in der ZDF Mediathek zdf.de/politik/maybri…, ein paar meiner Aussagen gibts hier als 🧵 Image
Hier meine Position dazu, warum die Machtkonzentration wichtiger #KI Modelle in wenigen Händen gefährlich ist u es deshalb eine gemeinwohlorientierte KI Infrastruktur mit ethischen Regeln braucht. Nicht #KünstlicheIntelligenz ist zZ die Gefahr, sondern ihr Missbrauch. #illner
Hier gehts um die Skalierbarkeit von Desinformation durch #KI, aber auch darum, dass eine künstliche Intelligenz nicht negative Wirkungen durch "eigenen Willen" verursacht, sondern dass dahinter Menschen stecken die Verantwortung tragen, auch dafür, dass Menschen Jobs verlieren.

You know how hands & fingers are particularly difficult to generate?

Wouldn't it be funny if people having important conversations online (in the near future) used hand gestures in front of their faces, so both sides know it's not a #DeepFake.

Anchor: I'm sorry to ask Mr. President, but before this TV interview can proceed please make a creative gesture with your hands.

Pres: What?

Anchor: Well, in the last election multiple candidates were caught using DeepFakes to make them look & sound smarter than they are.
Bank: Sir, we need to authenticate you by online video because of climate lockdown #37.

Customer: OK, let's do it!

B: Make the vulcan hand sign, flip it a round, turn it into a finger gun, and pretend to shoot in the air.

C: Wait, what!

B: Yes, because #DeepFakes.

1/n LET’S PLAY GLOBAL THERMONUCLEAR WAR!!!!
Well as my last attempt⤵️to #StopTheWar in #Ukraine failed to get any traction I thought my 2nd attempt should start with a bang or in the words of #DrStrangelove"How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb"
2/n It seems I am not scary enough to scare sense into some participants of the current war, I thought trying to use a selection of #GNUTerryPratchett words from #Discworld #Jingo & #Hogfather along with some horrors of war concepts might persuade #WarCriminals in the conflict
3/n that a better path might be available to them and others if the war ended quickly but as another Author @Kurt_Vonnegut said of horrors in another War #SoItGoes🤷‍♂️
I started with the words
“LET’S PLAY GLOBAL THERMONUCLEAR WAR‼️‼️”
From the #WarGames film

📍 Zulke deepfakes zijn in tegenspraak met het negende gebod: „Gij zult geen valse getuigenis spreken tegen uw naaste.” Voor de gemiddelde leek is onmogelijk te achterhalen of met de echte persoon gesproken is of niet. Echt is nauwelijks meer van nep te onderscheiden 2/4

Wie leicht lassen wir uns täuschen? Trauen wir Accounts mehr, wenn sie ein Foto vom Accountinhaber zeigen? Schaut Euch die Fotos in diesem Thread an. Überlegt bitte, welche der Bilder Ihr für echt haltet. Die Auflösung kommt weiter unten.

Gut trainierte KIs (Künstliche Intelligenzen) können Bilder erschaffen, die extrem echt aussehen. Sie lernen dabei selbst, Fehler zu erkennen und es beim nächsten Versuch besser zu machen. Die KIs wissen, was wir Menschen als sympathisch und vertrauenswürdig empfinden.

Das klappt auch mit Kindern, allen Ethnien und Tieren. Die Bildwirkung der Portraits ist dabei so natürlich und gut, dass viele Menschen diese Fotos für glaubwürdiger halten, als viele unserer echten Schnappschüsse. Und das ist ein riesiges Problem.

Fastest EU-membership negotiations ever, even faster than @Eurosurveillanc's rapid response.

Congrats @vonderleyen, @ProfKlausSchwab, @georgesoros.
Ah, btw. Uncle @ProfKlausSchwab, why did the @KremlinRussia_E hide this link?

It's just 4 months ago. Memory-holed?

Asking for my mommy.

Ah, btw. @ProfKlausSchwab, why did you hide Putin's @wef-profile?

Why would you do that? Klaus?

I had to extra-retrieve it from Archive.is. That's not user-friendly.

Have you been seeing artwork like this on your timeline and wondered how it was created?

Let's learn about one of the most popular algorithms for AI-generated art! ⬇ ⬇ ⬇
The technique used is known as "VQGAN+CLIP" and is actually a combination of two deep learning models/algorithms both released earlier this year 2/11
VQGAN - Vector-Quantized Generative Adversarial Network

VQGAN is a type of GAN, which is a class of *generative* neural networks that have been used for #deepfakes and other AI-generated art techniques

You pass a vector/code and VQGAN generates an image. 3/11

Today the European Commission officially presented its proposal for harmonised rules on artificial intelligence that has the ambition to create a framework for #artificialintelligence that respects European values. Is it fit for purpose? At first sight: No. [Thread] 1/23
First of all, very few applications are prohibited. Among them, the ban of remote biometric identification is in. In theory. In practice the exceptions granted to law enforcement agencies are too broad to call this provision a ban. #reclaimyourface 2/23
There is no ban for gender identification and recognition of sexual orientation either. Subject to a ban are subliminal techniques beyond a person’s consciousness, but only if they cause physical or psychological harm to that person. 3/23

Threats to share intimate images can have life-threatening consequences and should be criminalised:
Baroness Nicky Morgan: Change revenge porn laws so we 'stop failing women and girls' telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/01/0…
My research with colleagues has also found that almost 1 in 5 people (19%) across the UK, New Zealand and Australia have experienced threats to share intimate images #LifeThreatening

Reminder that this is not a new issue and there have been campaigns for years to get a change in the law. Here is just one example of where it could have made a difference:

#DeepFake Tutorial.

In this thread I'm going to post some tips & tricks to identify Deep Fakes using these examples I found online.

📊Vote in this other thread first:
There are many ways to detect deep fakes. Here are three of them:
1) Impossible static poses.
2) Impossible movements.
3) Technology artefacts.

The first category seems to be easier to detect, but the second is more reliable. The third may go away soon!
VIDEO #1

This one seems easy enough...

TIP: Use the speed controls in your favorite video player to slow it down while it's playing.

1) I think this is #DictatorDan's actual testimony. Still weird as, but. He looks skinnier, paler, way younger. And his hands look large in comparison to his body. I suspect tech heads could explain weirdness as result of Skype or similar software with low resolution.
2) But it's not remotely batshit to wonder what is going on here. Look at insane stuff going in #Victoria lately. To say it seems surreal (zif dystopian satire) is yuge understatement. Also, many #MSM glitches involving pollies esp those linked to Cabal, Dems (as Dan is).
3) Check out this "glitch in the matrix" featuring #HillaryClinton.
