Deepfakes Pose a Growing Danger #1616

August 8, 2022Podcastgeeknews

Deepfakes just lore five years ago are now on the rise and soon may increase at a greater rate as the technology behind them increases. Deepfakes in Audio are already very easily constructed and scary, considering you may have to defend yourself from things you did not say. Video is on the rise as well; not as easily done, but some deepfakes are quite convincing.

SpaceX has upgraded their Satellites but needs Starship to get them to orbit as the new Starlink antennas are bigger and heavier. So the pressure will mount for Elon Musk to get Starship headed to orbit and make it re-useable. Astronomers will be very happy with this, but many very bright Starlink satellites are still in orbit.

Facebook considering allowing 5 profiles per account #1612

July 14, 2022Podcastgeeknews

Facebook considers each user to have up to 5 profiles per account. It has never made sense why I could not have a Geek News Central profile and a New Media Show profile. It just makes so much more sense to keep things separated. Let’s hope they move forward with this. Also, I want to encourage you to support the show in the value for value model. Donate to the show or become a sustaining insider if you find the content valuable.
