  • RESEARCHERS FROM STANFORD UNIVERSITY AND GERMANY HAVE COME

  • UP WITH A WAY TO GET POLITICIANS TO SAY ANYTHING YOU WANT THEM TO

  • SAY. THEY DO THIS WITH TECHNOLOGY AND IT IS NOT

  • ACTUALLY THE POLITICIAN SAYING WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO SAY, BUT

  • THEY'VE COME UP WITH A 3-D COMPUTERIZED WAY TO HAVE A

  • POLITICIANíS IMAGE SAY ANY POLITICAL STATEMENT, ANYTHING

  • YOU WANT. THEY USED ADVANCED FACIAL RECOGNITION. IT LOOKS AT

  • ABOUT 15 SECONDS OF ANY FACE IN A VIDEO AND CREATES A 3-D MODEL

  • OF THAT FACE IN REAL-TIME. THEN THEY CAN MANIPULATE THAT FACE TO

  • SAY WHATEVER ANYONE WANTS. I HAVE A VIDEO

  • DEMONSTRATING THIS. I KNOW IT'S A LITTLE CONFUSING.

  • TAKE A QUICK LOOK.

  • THAT'S INSANE.

  • IT'S NOT JUST THAT THEY ARE SAYING THE WORDS THAT THE OTHER

  • GUYíS SAYING. THEYíRE ALSO MIMICKING THE FACIAL

  • EXPRESSIONS, SO NOW YOU CAN'T TRUST ANY VIDEO. FOR

  • EXAMPLE, RIGHT NOW THIS MIGHT NOT BE ME. SOMEBODY COULD COME

  • IN AND DOCTOR A VIDEO, AND IT'S LIKE THE OLDEST EXCUSE IN THE

  • BOOK. ON TWITTER THEY ARE ALWAYS LIKE, ìSOMEONE HACKED INTO MY

  • ACCOUNTNO ONE IS DOING THAT. VERY RARELY DO YOU HAVE A

  • TWITTER ACCOUNT THAT IS ACTUALLY HACKED INTO, BUT IT IS

  • THE MOST COMMON EXCUSE. NOW ONLINE THE EXCUSE WILL BE,

  • ìOH NO, SOMEONE HACKED INTO MY FACEAPPARENTLY THEY

  • CAN, BUT FOR 15 SECOND INCREMENTS, AND IT IS

  • NOT PERFECT. IT TURNS OUT PUTIN ALMOST NEVER SMILES, SO

  • WHEN THEY HAVE HIM SMILE, IT LOOKS TOTALLY ARTIFICIAL. BUT

  • EVERYTHING ELSE IS PRETTY GOOD. YOU SEE TRUMP DOING THIS

  • AND BUSH DOING THAT, AND THEN SAYING THE WORDS COMING

  • OUT OF THE OTHER PERSON'S MOUTH. IT'S AMAZING.

  • I WORRY ABOUT HUMANITY BECAUSE OF ADVANCEMENTS IN

  • TECHNOLOGY LIKE THIS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY PLAN ON

  • USING THIS FOR, BUT I KNOW I COULD DEFINITELY BE ABUSED QUITE

  • A BIT. WE LIVE IN A DAY AND AGE WERE PEOPLE WILL READ

  • SATIRICAL ARTICLES FROM WELL KNOWN SATIRICAL WEBSITES LIKE THE

  • ONION AND POST THOSE STORIES AS IF THEY ARE A REAL NEW STORY.

  • I HAD TO DEAL WITH SOMEONE POSTING SOMETHING LIKE

  • THIS JUST OVER THE WEEKEND. THEY POSTED AN ARTICLE

  • ABOUT FIDEL CASTRO GIVING A SPEECH ABOUT HOW AWESOME BERNIE

  • SANDERS IS. THERE'S NO WAY THAT'S A REAL NEW STORY.

  • NO ONE ELSE REPORTED IT. IT CAME FROM A COMPLETELY

  • SATIRICAL WEBSITE, BUT THAT IS THE THING. PEOPLE MIGHT

  • NOT KNOW. PEOPLE MIGHT BE DUPED INTO THINKING CERTAIN THINGS.

  • THAT CYCLE OF MISINFORMATION CONTINUES ONLINE AND THAT

  • IS WHY I WORRY ABOUT STUFF LIKE THIS.

  • AND NOW THEY CAN TAKE FIDEL CASTRO AND MAKE HIM ACTUALLY SAY IT.

  • THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT. DID YOU SEE THAT?

  • YOU SEE THAT?

  • BERNIE SANDERS IS A COMMUNIST.

  • I THINK THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE - OH MY GOD, THEY ALREADY DID

  • IT TO HILLARY CLINTON BECAUSE SHE IS BASICALLY ACCUSING

  • SANDERS OF SIMILAR THINGS. THEY PROBABLY DID

  • THAT TO HER WHEN SHE WAS SUPPORTING THE PANAMA TRADE

  • AGREEMENT AND THE BANKRUPTCY BILL FOR THE BANKS.

  • SHE NEVER SAID ANY OF THAT STUFF.

  • NO, THEY PROBABLY HAD THIS A LONG TIME AGO.

  • IT WAS GERMAN RESEARCHERS MANIPULATING HER FACE.
