DeSantis Note: Banning Books, Ideas, and Speech Isn't "Culture War" – It's Fascism

 

DeSantis using AI to attack Democracy 2024
(His mentor seems is Hungarian Viktor Orban)

New Breaking News on the AI front and usage of “Deep Fakes” in full view now a weapon of DeSantis vis-à-vis Trump and who knows who is next as we enter the 2024 circus – so, hang on tight it’s gonna be one helluva ride.

This update story from NEWSWEEK that is a bit scary especially coming from DeSantis’ so-called “War Room” – this headline and key story introduction:

“DeSantis War Room Deepfake Attack on Trump Lays Bare AI Threat to Elections”

“DeSantis War Room” campaign video appeared to mock Trump for not firing Dr. Anthony Fauci during his time in office.

However, digital forensics experts and fact checkers found that at least some of the images featured in the ad, including one appearing to show Trump embracing Fauci, appeared to be deepfakes likely generated with the help of artificial intelligence and machine-learning software.

Newsweek has reached out to the DeSantis and Trump campaigns for comment via email.

Click the NEWSWEEK story link above or here for the full story and as I said hang on tight – 2024 is gonna be a barnburner. Other links to this same NEWSWEEK subject area articles are linked below:

Related topic here from THE GUARDIAN regarding DeSantis and his “Cultural War” tactics in FL that he says is designed for the country as a whole – a good read, too.

My 2 Cents: My recent post here also addresses this same topic.

So, just how dangerous is AI run amok?

My AI post here (May 29, 2023) addresses that AI potential danger that DeSantis is now starting as the above NEWSWEEK article points out.

Taken together, it all examines this very critical topic that truly endangers election 2024 – far worse possibly than in 2020.

Thanks or stopping by.
