    Were the senators themselves the victims of these deepfakes?

    Also, they’re the legislative branch. Why don’t they just create a law to prohibit sexual deepfakes and assess penalties from the companies with tolerance/ambivalence/apathy toward sexual deepfakes?

      That would require them to actually do their fucking jobs. Congress nowadays just takes orders from the dictator in office.

        Are you under the impression that the senators calling for this have any power whatsoever to enact laws? John Thune runs the Senate schedule and he’s a loyalist.

      I don’t have faith that such a law could get passed in a timely manner, if at all, with the current leadership. Especially if it would basically single out two of their biggest darlings- AI and Elon.

      Omg. We need to start generating sexual images of all the leaders in the government branches. Clarence blowing Donald while he eats Mike’s ass.

      That’s how we get them to regulate this shit.

        That way if the Epstein files are ever released everyone in incriminating photos can just say it’s far left deepfakes?

        I’ve pretty convinced this is what they’re stalling for, and are generating the materials themselves.

          You know that’s already what they’re doing. And anything that comes out and anything that has come out they’ve already been stating that it’s AI or deep fake or photoshop I mean hell we had Photoshop way way before any sort of aid fake that’s just the latest buzzword being used.
