About 3 years ago, NVDA introduced “raytracing”, a technology that promised CGI that creates images that are indistinguishable from real world. One of the predictions was for deepfakes that would fool people into believing a high rank individual “said” or “did” some FAKE thing.
Here are 2 examples from the last week:
March 16, 2022. Ukraine.
Deepfake footage purports to show Ukrainian president capitulating

LONDON/LVIV, Ukraine, March 16 (Reuters) - A poorly edited video purporting to show Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy publicly capitulating to Russian demands drew widespread ridicule on Wednesday, but experts said it could be a harbinger of more sophisticated deceptions to come.
March 7, 2022. South Korea. This one is an official, approved use.
South Korea candidates woo young voters with ‘deepfakes,’ hair insurance

A digital avatar of Yoon, his campaign says, is the world’s first “deepfake candidate”, explaining policy ideas and taking digs at his rival. Lee’s team responded with its own AI-powered character.
Other tech…

Uipath, Palantir, Unity, etc. are creating software platforms that do NOT require “coding” skills, in order to create a product. Drag and drop “functional modules” or “apps” make it fast and easy.
WFH was successful cause several “technologies” had matured to some threshold that allowed successful WFH.
AI, raytracing, Tesla FSD… deepfakes. More tech is crossing that threshold.
