Deep Fakes Are 100 Miles Deeper

“Deep fakes” across all media types are 100 miles “deeper” today… than even 18 months ago:

Perhaps “believing your own eyes“ must also leap to a new level. What will be your “basis on which to trust which you think you see or hear.“ 

You had better have a new plan!

We’re entering a world where nothing can be trusted online:

I recently came across this video using Kling Motion Control.

It takes your movements and puts them in anyone’s body.

Here’s how it works:

→ Record yourself doing any movement
→ Use AI to generate a character image
→ Kling 2.6 merges the two seamlessly
→ Your moves, their face

We’ve now hit the threshold where it’s impossible to discern whether someone is human in the digital world.

My takeaways:

The implications are huge in Hollywood:

→ Using someone’s likeness without them present
→ Character swapping cost trends to near-zero
→ Reshooting scenes without actors on set

I also see new markets emerging:

→ Individuals renting out their identity
→ Licensing your likeness for content creation
→ Actors selling “performance rights” to their digital twin

Finally, proof of authenticity will become essential infrastructure, not just a nice-to-have.

Sam Altman is already building a global identity verification system using iris scans to fight against fraud and bots.

I believe we’ll see identity become the next great asset class.
