That is a nice piece of history.
Ethics is important. And one consequence is: I may die but at least it was not because I made it possible.
Technology is not evil or good.
Even this technology could be great. Jacky Chan, for example, is not going to make any more movies. But I want more of those movies. This very technology would allow that.
Yea, tech is not evil or good, it's all about how people use it and so far, deep fake tech has only been used for evil. From deep fake porn to fraud. The only not evil thing about this are the memes, but we can live without deep fake memes just fine.
But a given technology may be much more suited to doing evil than doing good.
> Jacky Chan, for example, is not going to make any more movies. But I want more of those movies. This very technology would allow that.
Which is something that I would consider ethically wrong unless Jackie Chan consented to it.
This is still on-going. There are thousands of nuclear heads on standby. His technology might end human civilization or even the human race as we know it.
> Technology is not evil or good.
Of course, it's not. Technology is real. Evil and good are imaginary human-brain constructs.
Without Nuclear bombs a "hot" 3rd world-war would have probably happened.
Also no country who has nuclear weapons was ever (directly) attacked.
The second use of this technology is fraud. Go read the issue and the comments linked in the post.
And you should not even need this much info. The simple fact that they mention "mrdeepfake" as one of the 4 communication groups, the second after their Discord server tells you how much good this tech does to the world.
Nothing to do with relativity, just with “if I don’t do it others will”.
