I don’t really care that much about this. There are a lot of people who talk bad about each other. Gossip, planning, concern for their well-being. Call it what you want.
People get together and speak negatively about other people.
It’s sad, but I can’t make it stop. You probably can’t either. If you can, what the heck are doing spending time reading my POV? Don’t just sit there. Get out there and get to it!
If you can’t stop it, then feel free to continue reading with my blessing.
I’m sure that the purpose here was to try and create a breach between Vance and Musk.
Again, not my problem. If they’re getting the job done, they can have fist fights in their spare time. Heck, maybe they can do that and put it on Pay-Per-View. I won’t pay to watch it, but I won’t care either.
There are two things about this. One is a criticism, the other is a cause for concern.
A very serious cause for concern.
The first, is if you going to try a technical trick like this, even one involving AI, perpetrate it against someone who doesn’t have the resources, including AI resources, that Elon Musk has.
Like him or not, he’s got access to tech and people who can work that tech- assuming he couldn’t figure it out himself, which he might be able to. He started out as a coder and has developed a wealth of knowledge about a number of subjects.
The second problem is that if this starts to happen a lot, people don’t know what to believe and *people can start to get away with saying things they shouldn’t, for real, and blaming it on AI*.
Maybe it’ll be disproved, maybe it won’t. A good fake that really mimicked someone could make it hard to disprove.
When that happens and people don’t know what to believe, people will become less involved in the goings-on of our public servants and their political parties and that never goes well for the nation and as a result, for the people who live in it, and the people around the world who depend on us.
They depend on us to intervene militarily. They depend on us for medical tech development – one of the reasons other nations can more easily provide free healthcare is because our system is profitable, we develop and the new drugs and tech and then we share it with them for free.
And it isn’t like we don’t have enough hoaxes to deal with already:
Russia Collusion, Trump called Nazis “very fine people”,
Trump said people who died in war are “losers and suckers” (perpetrated by the same guy who was recently included in the Signal chat, which makes it both better and worse at the same time).
I could go on, but you know what the deal is.
Here’s the factcheck.org article.
