The american public is entitled to the most truthful version.
Our democracy is built on reality, not your desires to repress bad PR. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
The only thing we worry about is letting you low energy people back into power. Your brains are weak and your bodies plastic. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
You call that an analogy? Made as much sense as two goldfish going halfsies on a tandem bike.
Also, nice misuse of “gerrymander.” You get points for spelling, but not for reading comprehension. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you’re still waiting on puberty to hit. No way a full grown human wrote this drivel. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Maybe it’s not so much about what is being said in the interview, but how it sounds. I recall how in his report Hur had described Biden as “well meaning elderly man with poor memory”. He also remarked on how Biden could not remember when Beau died. CBS reported that those statements alone had angered Biden and his allies more than the rest of the report’s conclusions.
It was a 5 hour interview. If at some point Biden sounds tired, incoherent, falling asleep, meandering, losing train of thought, etc. in the audio, I can see how the same people angered by the first two remarks would not want to let the recording out. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Fox News will cut it up and take things out of context as sound bites and since we have a third of the electorate brain washed into never listening to anyone else but Fox, and we have evil apps just waiting to fuck the election up (it is no coincidence the anti China trump is now pro China and just made a TikTok account), it's a good thing that aren't releasing this.
Again a third of the electorate is brainwashed and won't verify shit. They only believe what Fox News tells them to. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |

I wouldn't be concerned about a deepfake, I'd be concerned about simpler manipulations like [this](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/08/11/fact-check-video-pelosi-altered-and-selectively-edited/3332920001/).
They don't need an argument. The DoJ shouldn't be releasing *anything* obtained during an investigation where they didn't bring charges. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
What part of people are brainwashed and won't verify anything anymore is so difficult to understand? It's been ten years of this with these people. They can't handle transcripts. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Stage 4 Conservatism?
Edit: Stage 4 *Terminal* Conservatism? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
The reason you don't understand the logic is because there is no logic. It's bullshit. Apparently the transcript has edited out a lot of hmmms and ahhhs and long pauses. They have already edited official white house transcripts (one recent one has 7 corrections in a short couple minute speech). I wouldn't take anything at face value. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
>I don't think it's a strong argument to be fair. Coming across a deepfake that is different from the transcript should set off the same sanity checks.
That would require people to know exactly what's in the transcript, and I'd be 95% of the public hasn't read anything of them. So I think the argument that if they come across any audio/video it can immediately be dismissed is a pretty strong one. Releasing audio that most people won't listen to and then allow for slipping in deep fakes is so much easier to spread misinformation. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Scenario a brings a win to trump after the altered fakes get spread on TikTok.
Scenario b is easier to deal with when you can just say "it's fake" instead of "gotta listen to it, point out all the various lies, hope the"independents'" actually see it like they will see the fakes...
You want to hand an election to a felon? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
They want the audio because of the belief that the Biden administration doctored the transcripts. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
>So they can't just release and official version via the DOJ website? Or any .Gov website?
A fake uploaded to YouTube or TikTok to going to reach a much wider audience much faster than the original hosted on a government website.
Hell, even if the DOJ uploads it to YouTube themselves, I fully expect a fake to spread further and faster. The people with an interest in spreading a fake are numerous and rabid, and nobody has a strong interest in spreading the original.
And, of course, anyone who already distrusts "the Biden DOJ" is going to dismiss the original as the one that's been doctored or outright faked. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Do you need a screen for your projections? What proof is there, other than the idea that they "could" do that, in which case so could the MAGAs. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
The transcripts have been edited. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Yeah because of the 5 hours, people would only distribute about 30 seconds worth of clips that are the least flattering. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Are you saying the president is illiterate? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Haven't clocked this before, but isn't this why we have file hashes?
When you download a Linux installer, it is normally accompanied by a hex string, which you can recalculate locally to verify the file. Mostly to check for bit errors while downloading, but you can also use it to check authenticity.
Wouldn't that be a good way to verify which file was the official interview, and a way to demonstrate that other versions were fakes? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
They will do the same thing with the transcripts. Not only that, but this "subset" has been in existence for the past half-century at least. Why is the White House letting this small minority dictate its actions now of all times?
No, IMO the only explanation that makes any real sense is that Biden probably had several notable 'senior moments' during the interview. At a time [when Democrats are deeply concerned about the public's perception of Biden as old and weak](https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/28/democrats-freakout-over-biden-00160047), I'm not surprised that they are resorting to these flimsy excuses about AI. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |

That problem has existed for decades. The WH has never made this excuse before based on the cranks (who are ride-or-die for Trump anyway), so why change that now? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Same exact play as Republicans did with January 6th investigations. They distributed security footage showing people NOT being violent shitheads as if that somehow negated the security footage that showed them being violent shitheads, and *somehow it worked*. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
> The American public is entitled to the most truthful version.
Is that why the DoJ releases audio of all interviews the FBI does? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Because after 5 straight hours by being badgered by a hostile "Investigator" with an agenda, you would be perfectly normal sounding. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
If that’s the case then why is Biden even doing interviews?
A presidential candidate should be able to handle the media. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Did I mention the president anywhere? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Jeez, I’m 38 and the idea of talking to someone for 5 hours sounds like torture. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |

Have you actually seen Trump talk? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
It’s also the Government and we should have full transparency. Law says they have to when FOIA’d. They are making a new argument that is so vague it’s ridiculous. If there is no top secret info release it. Suppose to work the same for both sides. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Confirmation bias. The people that believe jan 6th was peaceful wanted to believe that. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |

Why shouldn’t it be released? The default state of the government should be transparency. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
This subreddit and it's mods seem to lean heavily a certain way politically. Kind of sad. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
You responded to a comment about the president. So you either were referring to the president or posting a spam out of context comment. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
I responded to an idiotic post that said the president would forget the alphabet, and that would, for some unknown reason, render him unable to speak. You, for some reason, took it at face value that the president would forget the alphabet. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
> If that is the case, then release the interview in whole on youtube or some official channel. Then even if someone does fake the interview, you can compare it to the original and point out the fake bits.
If someone takes their daily news from 30s video clips, you think they would listen when someone else points out the fact that it's sliced? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |

Fox News can fuck off. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Based on your brief history on Reddit you are rabidly anti Biden, so yeah, you do support Trump. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Trump struggled to remember what year he got married to wife #2 in a deposition. We have video tapes of it. It’s normal to have to think about specifics like that. Especially when it’s off topic from the current discussion. I have no idea what year my grandpa died but I know exactly where I was when I found out and could piece it together that way. Somehow, I know it was in April though. I don’t know why I know that. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Then better not release anything other than transcripts coming out from the government ever again including press briefings, congressional hearings, etc etc | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Fox News… that’s the channel that is paying out a billion dollars for lying on purpose right? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Ah yes, asking for the data to make our own decision on the subject is the "smooth brain" take.
I'll say it again: all of those entities have lied to the American people before and trusting them is the smooth brain-iest move of all.
You really can't be this gullible, can you? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Doesn't matter legally speaking. She died while they were committing a felony. That makes felony murder a viable charge.
> If the cops open fire on a BLM protest, can we then charge everyone present with felony murder on their behalf?
Were they actively committing a felony while protesting? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Allowing doubt to pollute your thought process to the point that you flatly don't trust a banal legal transcript is absolutely a smooth brain move. There's nothing in dispute.
If you want the transcript so badly, then feel free to navigate the legal processes required to force them to disclose the audio. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
I dunno if I'd call it "horse shit." It's a valid concern; Republicans have already done this and will continue to escalate until nobody knows up or down.
That's why it's an inflection point. We need to decide what's important to us here - full disclosure always, or protecting the integrity of our elections.
We're barely managing that *as is* without worrying about wholly fabricated propaganda that is difficult to debunk. A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
>There's nothing in dispute.
Prove it? Oh wait, you can't.
Gotta love ignorant people making claims they can't verify. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
I think that a lot of the people demanding Biden interviews are not interested in hearing trump depositions. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
So you admit you can't back up your argument? You are saying that the government is telling the truth in this case, yet you have no actual proof of that. Just like I said, willfully ignorant.

No, I have no illusions whatsoever. We've made everything stupider including ourselves. My gripe is specifically with this DoJ bit kvetching that "nothing can be done." Bruh, the technology to authenticate digital content one publishes was made public 50ish years ago. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
>The alternative is that another old man who has made many verbal blunders
Even if I acknowledge this (and I do), I don't understand why this has any bearing on the releasing of the video. Seems like this and future administrations could (and probably will) exploit this nonsense excuse about AI fakes for all kinds of things. It's going to become the new "Fake News". | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
This is just cope, what I’ve pointed out here is not nonsense.
“Inflammatory” Lol
This is the kind of response of expect from a Trump supporter, who wants all dissent to shut up. Again, this kind of stuff is easy to see when you’re not devoted to a team. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
The adult thing would be being not overly concerned about whether an 80 year old with a lifelong speech impediment stumbled over his words during an investigative interview, but you clearly blew through those guardrails already | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Seems about the same to me. You fool the people who want to be fooled regardless, but the news travels faster and further when it's a leak. Sure anyone with journalistic ethics won't report on it, but they weren't really part of the math anyways, other than being a tertiary feed reporting on the story of the story. The point of deep faking in the first place is misinformation and causing confusion. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
So why not release it if there's nothing to hide? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |

Is this a real word? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Sounds good, but how will the two main issues actually be prevented?
The first is knowing for certain that all artists on the platform made every work by hand. AI work is not always 100% recognizable as such, and no automated scanner exists to pick them out. Humans have already misidentified real works as AI, and AI works as real, plenty of times. Some people will want to get on this platform using AI generated work, to pass it off as real and sell it like it was handmade.
The second huge challenge is actually preventing AI companies from scraping the contents of this platform to train their models. That's pretty much impossible to do. You can block the bots of many known AI tools, but it's a constant fight and you never know which other companies may be scraping the site. In reality it's more like asking nicely not to be scraped, than actually preventing it.
So, this is a good initiative and I hope the platform succeeds. But I don't see how it would. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |

Except it doesn't really work, Nightshade had no effect at all when it was released and continues to do so. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
Both of those problems can be tackled and minimized at the very least. But what's really a big problem is to make actually users use it. 300k sounds like much, but it's not that big. Also, let's wait a few months and see how many active users will be there actually. Remember when people 'left' Twitter when Musk bought it? Just to be back on it after 2 weeks. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
This is silly. AI art is here to stay. Any attempt to prevent scraping will be overcome and fail. People need to learn to go work with the flow of the world rather than fight uselessly against it. Find ways to make use of AI tools, and stop holding on to a reality that no longer exists. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
That's a great description of fan art. I'm totally on board for it, and I hope fan-artists keep rocking the awesome work in exactly the way you describe it.
But ... It seems like your description would apply the same way to using AI tools to artfully recreate something using famous characters created by other artists.
The fact that people think doing it one way is ok and the other is theft is the hypocrisy. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Yes, it is so hard for you to understand that the value is in what is human?
No one asked for an image generator.
No one asked permission to use the drawings (other people's work) to train the program.
What we have to fight for so many years is for the artist to be recognized, only for them to come up with a program that makes a low quality collage of all the art without taking the artists into account.
Even in the artist community, when you don't say where you got your references from, you are looked down upon. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Also, thanks for assuming that I'm either trying to be annoying on purpose or "profoundly ignorant on the subject of art." 🙄 | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |

Controversial opinion but I don't mind ads to a degree. I enjoy a break every now and then and also like to learn about new shows, movies, games, some types of products, etc. but 8+ minutes of commercials across at least 4 ad breaks per half hour is just too damn much. Then you have streaming service commercials that are repetitive and range in quality from the occasional nice local business ad on Pluto to shitty scam ads on YouTube. Plus some of them don't even follow traditional breaks for ad placement and just stop a show or movie mid scene to play ads. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |

There's definitely a problem with monetization of music streaming, but I think the root of the problem is that artists don't own the music on their albums. So most of the royalties from sales and streaming go to the record companies and not the artists themselves. I'm not trying to defend Spotify but this problem is not unique to Spotify but an industry problem on how artists gets paid. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
To be fair, if I had enough money saved to not really care about $250 million, I'd probably rather not have Spotify controlling my speech either. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-03-06 |
