German historian and philosopher Hannah Arendt said,
"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.
A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong.
And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it,
completely subjected to the rule of lies.
With such a people, you can do whatever you want."

"Yeah. Fun times." Seth is great.

[Prince.Hamlet]

I hope there's a peaceful transfer of weather creating capability after the next election

[leward]

as a woman of vintage years the change in news & how politicians were held responsible has not been to our advantage at all. it's deteriorating reality and that's how you get a MTG, etc. AI needs to be handled very carefully and should require a mark identifying it as so. anarchy in the making

[aim]

Love when seth says anything about lorne knowing they work in the same building but never speak and he produces this show but never watches

[davidt]

Mango Mussolini and Moscow Mitch want to use it without regulation? Sadly, not a surprise.

[Bobbybobbeh]

There needs to be more scrutiny and oversight with social media and online sites that has ‘News’ as their forte. Simply put. Only facts or you are shut down or labeled as a ‘non-news site’.

[TournamentPlayer]

I like Jake's interview answers. He's a lot more constrained when he's working, and it can be much less satisfying.

A.B.C. Australia made a YouTube video on how to recognise deep fakes.

[yzolakitchi]

Jeeze, I consider myself pretty canny when it comes to deep fakes. Photos generally seem easier to me, to look for errors, but the Deep Jake - totally fooled me. I went back to re-watch it and still couldn't find any obvious giveaways it was AI. Anyone here spot any peculiarities that I missed with the clip?

[leward]

Tapper has a unique laugh i hadn't realized

[personagrata]

I wonder if AI is what finally takes us down. We were all so (justifiably) worried about nukes that it never occurred to us what would happen when our tech shattered our concept of shared reality.

[claudianorthe]

I'm still mad about the rumour he helped spread against Rashida Tlaib

[FixNewsPlease]

A Canadian who recently won the Nobel Prize in physics for his pioneering work in AI, is warning that AI will become smarter than humans in less than 20 years and asks the question, "what then?"

[cannibalbananas]

We should at least hold tv to a higher standard than someone's website. Political ads for one. How some of what they say isn't slander, I don't understand. News shows would be another area that should require fact-checking.
We need to bring back integrity and trust. Don't think that will happen anytime soon tho.

[tony]

I like Jake tapper idk why people are saying he ruined his reputation? I trust Jake as a reporter. Just because he calls out trump for what he is don’t make him a bad reporter it makes him a good reporter talking about a bad person

[AdrianMunch]

The problem with A.I. is when it comes to making laws you have to consider the effect the law has on the Constitution, So it’s very difficult to come up with a consensus on language in a law.

1:50 - Never trust anyone who works with Josh "Whiny Kid" Hawley!

deign? Seth used deign in a sentence! Uppity interlecturals.
