Is Deep Fake Technology Live Tool Russian Tech To Destabilize America, Who Is Vladislav Pedro, Why Drudge Report?
Note: IEEE Spectrum explains deep fake tech:
The main ingredient in deepfakes is machine learning, which has made it possible to produce deepfakes much faster at a lower cost. To make a deepfake video of someone, a creator would first train a neural network on many hours of real video footage of the person to give it a realistic “understanding” of what he or she looks like from many angles and under different lighting. Then they’d combine the trained network with computer-graphics techniques to superimpose a copy of the person onto a different actor.
While the addition of AI makes the process faster than it ever would have been before, it still takes time for this process to yield a believable composite that places a person into an entirely fictional situation. The creator must also manually tweak many of the trained program’s parameters to avoid telltale blips and artifacts in the image. The process is hardly straightforward.
FBI Advisory Warning Released in March 2021:
Malicious Actors Almost Certainly Will
Leverage Synthetic Content for Cyber and
Foreign Influence Operations
Summary
Malicious actors almost certainly will leverage synthetic content for
cyber and foreign influence operations in the next 12-18 months.
Foreign actors are currently using synthetic content in their influence
campaigns, and the FBI anticipates it will be increasingly used by
foreign and criminal cyber actors for spearphishing and social
engineering in an evolution of cyber operational tradecraft.
Explaining Synthetic Content
The FBI defines synthetic content as the broad spectrum of generated
or manipulated digital content, which includes images, video, audio,
and text. While traditional techniques like Photoshop can be used to
create synthetic content, this report highlights techniques based on
artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) technologies. These
techniques are known popularly as deepfakes or GANs (generative
adversarial networks). Generally, synthetic content is considered
protected speech under the First Amendment. The FBI, however, may
investigate malicious synthetic content which is attributed to foreign
actors or is otherwise associated with criminal activities.

Note from Zennie62Media and OaklandNewsNow.com : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the video is “liked” by Zennie62 YouTube, then it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
