HOW TO SPOT A DEEP FAKE:
1. You can’t.
Don’t think you can. You can spot clumsy ones, but you’ve already missed a dozen others. We’re past the stage where even _expert_ practitioners can have a 100% success rate.
Instead, think about how to avoid taking action, or trusting someone, because of who they seem to be. Holding onto the fantasy that “I can spot ’em!” is harmful, and moves the onus of responsibility from collective to personal.
This is also true for #genAI, of course.

Hug your #FediAdmin today.
There’s a lot of shit flying in the #Fediverse lately and a lot of times perspective seems to get lost. Yes, there are things we need to talk about, and yes there are things we will not agree on. And that’s okay.
But leave the pitchforks and torches out of this.
Fedi admins put in the hours and effort and emotion into making fedi happen. Sometimes they make decisions we might not agree with. We should criticize, but we should not pile-on.

@andrearennick @chris This is the thing that's annoying me about the current debate, specifically the pro-Meta side. I get that on a per-instance level, some are going to federate while others not. But the pro-federation side seems to be completely ignoring that the communities pre-emptively blocking have absolutely valid concerns. Also that whole "Maybe we can convince people to leave Meta's federated thing and join real? federated things" take is +

Gruber says: “…the idea that administrators of Mastodon/Fediverse instances should pledge to preemptively block Facebook’s imminent Twitter-like ActivityPub service (purportedly named Threads) strikes me as petty and deliberately insular. … to me this feels like convicting Facebook of a pre-crime.”
To me, this take feels obtuse to the point of intention – or at least self-parody. Smells a bit like the whole “paradox of tolerance” folks like to shop around in debates.
Surely you can’t possibly be unaware that Meta (née Facebook) already has a rich history of acting badly, that many folks switched to alternatives like Mastodon as a response to that, and many now express wariness & outright revulsion to that same bad actor wandering into a new party?
My dear sweet summer child, don’t be a doofus.

Elon Musk should be made aware that actively promoting anti-vaccine candidate RFK Jr. and bullying the scientist/physician who helped create patent-free COVID vaccines for the poor means a world with fewer children for his Tesla Autopilot to run over.
