    Facebook deep fake nonsense aside, if I genuinely thought Elon was involved in an investment scheme, I would immediately consider it a scam and assume my money would disappear.

    Those weren’t fake, those were real (there are actual VERIFIED people on Twitter that can back me up on this) Unfortunately, you can’t ask elon himself, because he was working with that team on their crypto right before he died.

    If you didn’t hear about his death, it wasn’t widely reported really because he was so insignificant that nobody really cared. But I guess they found that he broke his neck trying to suck his own dick on a ferris wheel. He was wearing small shorts, exerted himself trying to fold in half to reach, shit his pants, the shit hit the floor of the bucket, he slipped in the shit, hit the cage awkwardly and broke his neck.

    Is it just me who feels like he’d be a good target for early efforts of AI impersonation because he speaks in such a disjointed sort of way to begin with?

      I’ve seen a bunch of ads on Facebook where it’s a deepfake of either Elon or Mr Beast. Just goes to show that Meta doesn’t give a fuck and will let anything through if you pay them.

      Yeah! Pick somebody who actually knows tech, like esteemed Academy Award nominated lead developer Margot Robbie, for example.

      (Wait, actually, no, getting involved in crypto is generally a bad idea…)

    Elon, like his favored doge and bitcoin ,has run his course. He started off making sense, looking like he was going to change the world. But now He’s not energy efficient, he’s horrible for the environment, takes forever to get things done and never fully delivers what was promised. It’s time we stop worshiping Elon.

    I’ve disabled personalised ads on YouTube and I see this sort of shit all the time. I’ve given up reporting them because 90% of the time the report is rejected. I don’t even understand the rationale for rejecting it because it’s an obvious a scam as a scam can be - ai impersonation, fake endorsement, illegal advertising category. It’s a scam YouTube.

    I don’t even get why these ads even appear. YouTube has transcription & voice / music recognition capabilities. How hard would it be to flag a suspicious ad and require a human to review it? Or search for duplicates under other burner accounts and zap them at the same time? Or having some kind of randomized audit based on trust where new accounts get reviewed more frequently by experienced reviewers.

    They really needed to get a statement from Twitter on this. I assume they asked. How are we supposed to know whether or not there was a poop emoji?

    They didn’t have to . elon would prolly declare himself the founder on his own and then sue the company and the board of directors if they disagreed with him

    How long until we are just posting deep fakes of each other eating shit and society completely breaks down? Wake me when we are there.
