Generative AI fueling spread of deepfake pornography across the internet

Deepfake content is created via machine learning algorithms which can produce hyper-realistic content. Bad actors can use this to target victims, blackmail people, or as a form of criminal or political manipulation.

A comprehensive report into deepfakes in 2023 found that deepfake pornography makes up 98 per cent of all deepfake videos found online, while 99 per cent of the victims targeted by deepfake pornography are women.

Analysts for a website aiming to protect people from online identity fraud - called homesecurityheroes.com - studied 95,820 deepfake videos, 85 dedicated online channels, and more than 100 websites linked to the deepfake ecosystem, producing its 2023 State of Deepfakes report.

One of the main findings of the report is that it can now take less than 25 minutes, and cost nothing, to create a minute-long deepfake pornographic video of anyone using a single clear face image of the victim.





This should not be. I suspect it is because no AI yet has a “check your answer” function. (Not just a problem in math.)

Math is hard” — if you are an LLM – and why that matters

The paper alleges “GPT Can Solve Mathematical Problems Without a Calculator.” But it doesn’t really show that, except in the sense that I can shoot free throws in the NBA. Sure, I can toss the ball in the air, and sometimes I might even sink a shot, the more so with practice; but I am probably going to miss a lot, too. And 70% would be great for free throws; for multiplication it sucks. 47323 * 19223 = 909690029 and it shall always be; no partial credit for coming close.





Tools & Techniques. (Imagine creating your own backdated evidence!)

How to Change the Date Created, Date Modified, and Other File Attributes on Windows

Windows keeps a record of when a file was created, who authored it, and when it was last modified. This information is known as file attributes and can be used to sort files by date, author name, and other parameters.

… If you don't want the receiver to know the actual file attributes, here's how to remove or modify them.
