Deep Learning – Deep Fake News

 

Deep Learning of a young digital Mind.

While we wrote in Imagine Art in Progress about AI driven visual Interpretation of Computers by taking regular photos as input, we focused on the art-like results. Still great to use prisma and the effects of learning machines in an Art context.
Same same, but different is the latest popular Trend of…

DeepFakes & FakeApp created fools for April 1st.

Same like of the Technology that make this progress possible, but different in the way that FakeApp results can deceive the audience the big way. This is not just the next level of SnapChat…

Here is a funny Putin DeepFake Video

This one explains some of the first questions on quality and possibilities. While this is actually stunning and hilarious on one side, there are several other questions coming up with this powerful tool. It appears to be something like Prometheus unchained and will have a huge impact on legal use of CCTV and other Video Footage on courts worldwide. Adobe seems like silent movies compared to Netflix, here. When you actually watch the results zoomed in detail and keep your focus on cgi artifacts, you have to watch out. The Photoshop-Question remains the same:

How much can you trust a Picture, without background information?

According to the latest progress in AI Information Technology, our doubts follow alongside. The reason why we can trust our own Pictures, is that we know at least if they are altered, the date and where it was done, because of the handmade character. On the other side, the results of neuronal network engines like prisma or FakeApp are made nearly without human interference. Soon there is no need for Photoshop-Phillip’s anymore and with a good Tutorial every skilled Media Manipulator will be able to archive results like Putin above – or Trump below.

Advertising Analytics

Well, that’s what you can do with smaller neural networks on your personal computers right now. Those being able to learn much more that this, need huge processing power. NVIDIA seems to have a solution with Cuda for that bottle neck. Even more interesting is what they do together with SAP…

SAP made a step into the ring by analytical approach of broadcast time of Ads, like in the NVIDIA keynote presented. This advertising could be included in the next step, based on your personal Facebook Likes, and effect your TV/Netflix/Youtube… Media experience — tomorrow. Of course those Ad includes need to look perfect, like in Commercials for Automotive Industry. Car commercials are rendered to look perfect and realistic, often in Raytracing. This visualization technique simply needs too much processing for real-time Broadcasts, but there is a lot of progress going on as well.

Realtime Engines

made a huge step forward, too. Just look what blender (Download Links) is able to do since almost a year. EEVEE is part of blender 2.8 and going to beta soon.

Intelligent Weapons for a War on Human Culture

The former Director of Research at Cambridge Analytica spoke out about deep data and algorithms that their weapons for psychological warfare are build on. This sounds like he is talking about neural networks processing your behaviour on Facebook. Does it make you feel better, when you know we are maybe under surveillance as well? 87,000,000 User Profiles been pulled out of Facebook and their Survey was a highly effective Trojan horse that helped to create psychological Profiles of American voters. Donald Trump took advantage of that by hiring Cambridge Analytica’s before he announced his first run on US America…

Cambridge Analytica & Breitbart Media

Breitbart News was a conservative Blog until it turned alt-right in 2016 and is categorized as far-right today. Breitbart Doctrine is to change perception of people, change culture and votes. The connection and influence by Cambridge Analytica and Steve Bannon’s shows that they delivered more than quotes, tonality and surveys. According to CA Psychographics they could create specific content for Websites and Blogs like manufacturing ammunition for psychological warfare. That’s like a bullet with your name engraved. Christopher Whylie made clear Cambridge Analytica is a full service propaganda machine, not just a regular data science firm working for military & defence. Before CA the inceptive work by public relations and advertising worked with Target Groups and Nielsen Reports. Those days are history since Micro Targeting. Personal Psychographics & Shadow-Profiles have been a game changer for Politics. Actually this makes Nazi Propaganda Goebbels looks like a grumpy G/Herman Munster, as plush toy by TyransR’Us. Profiles on each Voter is what STASI probably dreamed of, but they’ve been too afraid to report about wet dreams. To make Steve Bannon worst than Goebbels, this idea just had to work. Kenya and Nigeria elections worked well for CA and their anti-democratic clients. A friend of FOTO ROTO actually created a great Campaign against Brexit, but he had no CA support. So the EU Referendum worked out for Nigel Farage and when this isn’t enough, then U.S. elections 2016 are a reason to call Steve Bannon and Alexander Nix anti-democratic and Neo-Propaganda Fascists.

TEDx Talk with Peter Haas

Haas pointed out how important it is, to create those artificial intelligence to be reasonable for humans, and to overcome our intellectual laziness.

Christopher Whylie mentioned the grey area, where you prefer not to ask to avoid answers you don’t like. While Adolf Eichmann’s participation at Third Reich caused a few studies in the US, he was hanged in 1962. Maybe we should stay questionable especially in those grey areas, to prevent ourself to wake up in a similar situation like he did. However since this AI / NNIE (neural network engine) is the path our Technology is on — take it a few years ahead and you will see… Humanity need to make a decision on how to use this technology. When you have a weapon able to talk to everybody, that way that makes the most positive effect for you — is it a legitimate tool in a democratic environmental? We have doubts here, what about you?

Brexit and Trump, they truly did “Drain the Swamp“.
