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.
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.
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.
In another thread, he is shit talking people who earn less than 100k as being in the top earning groups and saying they have no right to complain about how inflation will be impacting the youth.
He just says dumb shit to piss people off. Report him as a troll.
