[FRIAM] deep fake elon

[Santafe]

slow to get to this.  Trying to shovel the lahar.

A thing I find interesting is that Musk uses a lot of labiodental stops or fricatives (I didn’t have any sound on while the NYT videos played).  The AI replaces them with bilabial stops.  The visual effect is much faster lip movement (more staccato), but much less visibility of teeth.

It appears that the best conspiracy theory of all is that rich people make money by secret tricks, because if you make a deep fake Elon promising to show you one of the tricks, you can suck money out of people like there´s no tomorrow.  And you can target your deep fake elon to vulnerable populations on facebook faster than meta can clean up after you.   What a wonderful world.
