The Pentagon Wants to Use AI to Create Deepfake Internet Users
The Department of Defense wants technology so it can fabricate online personas that are indistinguishable from real people.
The plan, mentioned in a new 76-page wish list by the Department of Defense’s Joint Special Operations Command, or JSOC, outlines advanced technologies desired for country’s most elite, clandestine military efforts. “Special Operations Forces (SOF) are interested in technologies that can generate convincing online personas for use on social media platforms, social networking sites, and other online content,” the entry reads.
The document specifies that JSOC wants the ability to create online user profiles that “appear to be a unique individual that is recognizable as human but does not exist in the real world,” with each featuring “multiple expressions” and “Government Identification quality photos.”
In addition to still images of faked people, the document notes that “the solution should include facial & background imagery, facial & background video, and audio layers,” and JSOC hopes to be able to generate “selfie video” from these fabricated humans. These videos will feature more than fake people: Each deepfake selfie will come with a matching faked background, “to create a virtual environment undetectable by social media algorithms.”

Dude I can't even pass a catchpa these day. I still don't know if a e-bike is a scooter, a bike, or a moped.
Captcha and I can never agree on what is and isn’t a bus.
Click on all busses:
This would work for a short while as long as the user knows their hardware.
They keep showing me strange street features from distant countries and ask me shit like "mark all the crosswalks". And i look at it and think "no idea, what this is, no crosswalk i have ever seen looked like this, so i guess it it is something different".
And then i have to do the next captcha. Sometimes i am caught in captcha hell, where i have to solve captchas until i give up and close the browser.
There is a short story in here about someone who can't pass a captcha, loses their identity, and has to move on to becoming a fisherman in Norway.
Fisherman in Norway is probably an upgrade for some people lol
What sites are still using image captchas and not "Click here if you are not a robot"?
I just realized I don't surf the web randomly anymore, mainly because of crap like that.
When i click them, they oftentimes show me a captcha afterwards, as they apparently don't believe me. I once solved captcha after captcha for like two minutes and then ragequit, finally accepting, that i am a robot.
Are you jealous of the other bots who can?
