Everyone's gonna act like they don't care until scammers are calling your loved ones with your face and your voice and stealing your life savings. Or people are working remote jobs using your voice and face and government ID and you have to pay the taxes for it. Or whatever.

This is a new front of identity theft. The laws that are crafted now are going to decide how awful this new technology will be able to be exploited. You may not care about a voice actor from a video game having her voice stolen, but the impact of decisions surrounding this stuff is going to affect us all at some point very soon.

My dad is in his 70s. When a suspicious message comes through, he asks a question that only the family would know, or sometimes asks questions that has no relation to the family to see if I answer normally.

It doesn't fix anything globally, all I can say is I appreciate being raised by a paranoid nerd who expected this sort of thing in his lifetime.

Terminator 2 I think

These scams didn't just start this year. Yes it is easier with these tools but a lot of things are becoming easier because of them, not just the bad stuff.

The problem is legislating too aggressively won't really affect the scammers and would only fuck up all the good application of the tech.

People are going to start giving their loved ones the IRS spiel about how they won't call you asking for personal info.

Until being a neckbearded simp is made illegal, this will always happen. This doesn’t excuse it in any way whatsoever, but it does explain it.

Also, note that as of this writing- there are seven of these people that have downvoted this article, and at least one that has downvoted most of the comments.

In other news, Jack Nicholson is seeking back royalties from everyone who's ever done an impression of him shouting "You can't handle the truth!'

Technology bad, degens gonna degen.

You're not wrong but that's a pretty callous way of putting it.

Outlawing this stuff would be questionable and challenging, but they're right to look down on this behavior.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, they’re entirely wrong.

I donno what I missed, seems admin took care of it before I really knew what was going on, but looked like it was devolving rapidly.

Nothing has been commented in over a day, but I'm gonna lock it just cause ~~I'm a power hungry tyrant and want to feel the mad power I possess~~!!!!!

Joking aside, just locking it so its totally over and done with, everyone has already moved on, so why not.
