Review of Should This Exist? - On the deepfake technology episode

On the deepfake technology episode

☆

“Very insightful episode on a subject that will surely become much more mainstream in the near future but the hate and abuse involved in some of the ways that destructive people choose to use this tech for is nothing new to societies which is not to say that it makes it any less disturbing. However I would personally rather have it be out in the open where everyone can see the disturbing ways that abusive and hateful people choose to use democratized tools for destruction rather than to advance humanity as a whole towards a better future. And I would emphasize that these people are not creators - they are simply misusing the technology and creation of well intentioned human beings for their own selfish needs such as for revenge and abuse of power over vulnerable people. But an upside to tech is that it can’t be hidden the way that narcissistic personalities such as Trump, Epstein and Maxwell tend to otherwise hide their exploitation and abuse of vulnerable children, women and in some cases also men. Such monsters who project their twisted desires onto vulnerable people and use their empathy or silence as consent and justification for their actions have always existed and technology will only bring that out in the open much more than it has ever been. Just like the recording of Trump saying that if you’re famous women let you do it. So in some ways it’s helpful for a lot more people to see the ugly greed and vindictive nature of some people so that societies can find solutions with the help of psychology/psychiatry for the humans who are the problem and not the tools or technology. Sexual abuse, exploitation and humiliation of women and children is unnatural and self destructive to humanity as a whole so there is a far greater disturbing issue going on with women and men who take pleasure in abusing and exercising power over vulnerable people who they feel can’t stand a chance against them in the first place. Only a serious disconnect would make a human being feel powerful after such abuses and easy wins that have nothing to do with creation or competition. If there is or should ever be a deepfake revenge porn video of me out there I would just want everyone who watches it to know who the destructive person behind it is who can’t express their emotions properly on a human to human level.”

“Loved this! I thought it was fascinating to hear more about how founders consider the potential impact - good and bad - of their inventions.”

SO excited - finally someone is asking questions about the real, human implications of technology.
